2021 Topps 582 Montgomery Club – Set #1

And we’re off! The first set of the 2021 Topps 582 Montgomery Club has arrived. Topps chose to use one of the unused designs that members voted on for the final set of the 2020 membership. I immediately recognized it when I opened the box.

(20) cards are in this set, with a guaranteed autograph. As you can see, the first set of the 2021 membership contains 2020 rookies. I’m hoping to see an Alec Bohm rookie in one of the other sets later this year.

2020 Topps Stadium Club Chrome Baseball Hobby Box Break & Review

Collector Type: Set/Autograph/Refractor Nuts

2020 has been a crazy year for sports cards. We’ve seen some incredible pulls, and big $$$ sales. With a ton of prospects making their debut this year, get ready for a slew of new rookie cards coming in 2021. Personally, I’m looking forward to rookie cards of Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm.

It has been twenty years since Stadium Club Chrome was a standalone product. In May of 2000 collectors received their first taste of what Chrome-styled Stadium Club cards would look like. Over the last few years collectors have enjoyed the Stadium Club Chrome inserts found within the main Stadium Club set.

2020 Topps Stadium Club Chrome consists of (400) cards. That is (100) more cards compared to the standard Stadium Club product. Parallels include – Refractor, X-fractor (Blaster), Wave Refractor (1:113 packs), Gold Refractor #’ed/50, Orange Refractor #’ed/25 (Hobby), Red Refractor #’ed/5, and SuperFractor #’ed 1/1.

Autographs include Base Autographs, Beam Team Autographs, and Lone Star Signatures.

Inserts include Beam Team, Emperors of the Zone, and Power Zone.

Photography has always been the driving force with this brand. On-card autographs on chrome stock with various refractors to chase takes it to a whole new level. Very eye appealing especially when the photo Topps used has a brightly colored background.

This product’s return has been highly anticipated ever since it was first announced. It appeals to a variety of collectors. Even if you don’t pull a life altering hit you’re guaranteed to find some attractive cards you can add to your collection.

2020 certainly is the year for Chrome. Everything seems to be getting a Chrome edition. It won’t be long until we see Stadium Club Chrome Sapphire Edition.

When in doubt, Chrome it out.

2020 Topps 582 Montgomery Club – Set #5 & Factory Set

Renewing my membership to the Topps 582 Montgomery Club was a fairly easy decision. You get what you pay for and so much more. I truly believe it is the best bang for your buck. Tons of value.

The ability to pre-order online-exclusive products before the general public is worth the price alone. In 2020 I was able to flip some of these products on the secondary market making some easy coin. For those products I decided to rip, my hits were quite solid and I ended up breaking even. After seeing what some of their products wound up selling for on eBay (2020 Topps Baseball’s Finest Flashbacks) it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the online-exclusives get a bit more expensive in 2021.

My last two sets which came with the 2020 membership recently arrived. The factory set contains (700) cards. Each card in the set has the Montgomery Club logo printed on them.

Members of the club were allowed to vote on the design, and players included in Set #5. Design #3 ended up being the winner. In case you are wondering, here is what the other designs looked like:

Set #5 consists of (20) cards, plus an autograph. Here is what I got:

Auto:

• Adalberto Mondesi

20-Card Set:

• Mike Trout #1
• Ronald Acuña Jr. #2
• Luis Robert RC #3
• Ken Griffey Jr. #4
• Fernando Tatís Jr. #5

2020 Topps 582 Montgomery Club – Set #4

This was a big week for those collectors who are members of the Topps 582 Montgomery Club.  On Tuesday members were allowed to pre-order the new online-exclusive 2020 Bowman Sapphire Edition Baseball before the general public.  When you don’t have the general public to fight against getting your hands on these special products is so much easier.  I’m expecting my shipment shorty.

Set #4 of the 2020 Topps 582 Montgomery Club membership arrived this week too.  The design of this set is based on the 1961 Topps Dice Game.  If your not familiar with the 1961 Topps Dice Game don’t be alarmed.  Cards from this set are so incredibly rare it is believed that only a few copies of each card exist.  Many speculate that they were going to be part of some type of board game that never saw the light of day.  What examples do exist are test subjects which found their way out of the Topps headquarters.

During the 2018 National Sports Collectors Convention a Mickey Mantle card from the 1961 Topps Dice Game was on display.  This was the first time I had ever seen one of these cards in person.  Every card in this set is rare, but Mickey Mantle holds the top spot as far as demand goes.

(20) cards highlight this 1961 Topps Dice Game inspired set.  As a Phillies fan I’m happy to see Bryce Harper find his way in here.
