Breaking Into ’98 Stadium Club

I’d patiently set up an eBay search for a box of it over a year ago, and last fall I finally pulled the trigger on one. This was the year SC was split between Odds and Evens, so it was an interesting break. I meant to post about it, and do a pack-by-pack highlights of the best and worst pulls from each pack. I had just done a box break of ’95 Skybox E-Motion on the blog, though, and it had worn me out a bit, as odd as that sounds.
Heck, I still have those scans and a note with best/worst card in each pack, so I may revisit it.
However, there’s one card I had to show off on the blog. It came in its own pack, at the top of the box. It’s a thick, lenticular Cal Ripken, Jr. complete with a sound chip! I was so excited. First, the frames:
That’s the best I could manage from scanning each direction. The picture makes up the top of a folding card, inside is a fake news piece describing the artifact itself. Now the interior:
To my dismay, the sound chip no longer functioned. I tried making a gif of the images in motion – hopefully this works.
What a cool card!
Ok, back to the salt, er, study mines. Gotta make room in my brain for Excel functions this semester.

The Ausmus is one of the best Stadium Club cards ever.
