2022 Topps Stadium Club base set & design

The 2022 Topps Stadium Club base set contains 300 cards.

The design of Stadium Club has changed over the three-plus decades since its 1991 debut as one of the first premium products. That being said, the theme has always been the same – a focus on photography.

The base cards feature a borderless design with a “full bleed” photo and the Stadium Club logo, player and team name, as well as the player position in a clean, minimalist layout that keeps the focus on the photo.

These cards are shiny without going chrome crazy. They’re quite attractive cards, the kind you can flip through and just enjoy the crisp photography.

Topps Stadium Club 2022 parallels

With the focus on capturing the game in stunning photographic quality, you’d think there wouldn’t be a lot of potential for parallel versions (what with no borders, for example), but Stadium Club manages to pack a full array of parallels into the simple design.

These parallel versions include:

• Red Foil
• Black Foil
• Black and White (hobby exclusive)
• Members Only (1 per case)
• Photographer’s Proof (1:2 cases)
• Blue Foil: /50
• Rainbow Foilboard: /25
• First Day Issue: /10
• Gold Rainbow Foil: 1/1 (hobby exclusive)

Topps Stadium Club 2022 variations

Topps Stadium Club offers different variations in 2022. Both are limited to 200 copies and feature a subset of the base set.

2022 Topps Stadium Club Image Variations

Why have one great Stadium Club photo, when you can have two? Image variations, as the name implies swap out the base card photo with an alternate photo.

2022 Topps Stadium Club Design Variations

These variations swap out the design, not the photo. They leverage the design from the original Stadium Club release in 1991, the one that started it all.

Special Rookie Design Variations are limited to 92 copies each and are based on the sophomore 1992 Stadium Club design.

For both design variations, limited autographs are also available.

Base Autographs

The largest autograph offering in Stadium Club leverage the base design with on-card autographs.

Parallel versions include Red Foil (/50), Black Foil (/25), Rainbow Foilboard (/10) and Gold Rainbow (1/1).

Lone Star Signatures

Limited to only 25 copies each, these are a tough pull.

Orange (/5) and Gold Rainbow (1/1) parallels are also available.

Co-Signers

Featuring two on-card autographs, these are limited to only 10 copies each.

1/1 Gold Rainbow parallels are also available.

Insert Autographs

Select cards from the Power Zone, Beam Team, and Team of the Future inserts also have autographed versions. These are all limited to 25 copies or fewer.

2022 Stadium Club value

As mentioned above, pre-order pricing for 2022 Topps Stadium Club is running between $170-$180.

2021 Topps Stadium Club hobby boxes are selling for $100-$150. 2020 Topps Stadium Club hobby boxes are selling in the same range.

So, from an unopened box perspective, there probably isn’t a lot of upside. From a singles perspective, there are some 2020-2021 Stadium Club autographs, especially 1/1’s and other low serial numbered autos that are selling for very strong prices.

So, the big hits from 2022 should provide good value. Higher production number hits will probably not sell for high prices, but should provide some value.

Final thoughts on Topps Stadium Club 2022

2022 Stadium Club provides a clean, classic design with great photography. The mix of inserts, autographs, and parallels provides plenty to chase. The price is reasonable, so this can be a fun break without too much risk.
