Tile Tuesday: Stadium Club Cubs

Stadium Club was first released in 1991.  It was Topps' premium brand, designed to compete with the upstart Upper Deck.  The full color photos on glossy stock was quite a departure for Topps and it was quite a hit, too.  The first few years featured full sets of at least 660 cards.  After the strike of 1994, the set size was continually reduced to only 125 cards in the final year, 2003.  Topps brought the brand back in 2008 with a 184 card set.  It didn't do well and the brand has not been seen since.

Below are the 219 Stadium Club Cubs in all of their full color glory.
