A box of 1991 Topps Stadium Club |
Some of you know that I am geek. I was walking around Newpark Mall in Newark, Ca the other day and saw a store that I was opened. They are just getting things together and their grand opening will be here coming up. I saw that they had unopened boxes and packs from the late 80's/early 90's for cheap and I bought a box of 1991 Topps Stadium Club Series I and 20 assorted packs from the era. Did not cost me more than $40. I am still going through the Stadium Club Box and who knows that might have its own blog:
