Welcome Cubs Fans!

This blog will discuss Topps Stadium Club Sets and the baseball card collecting hobby, with a focus on the Chicago Cubs. Contrary to vintage baseball cards, the majority of modern cards are affordable. The various sets will be considerably simpler to obtain. In 1991, the first set was unveiled as a posh reaction to the upscale Upper Deck. The collection was discontinued in 2003; however, Topps did make a comeback with a Stadium Club set in 2008. Topps started releasing the series yearly in 2014, albeit with lower-quality items this time.
