14 Super Premium Baseball Cards. 50 cents. Series 2. Let's go back 14 years and see what living was like.
430 - Kevin Mitchell (Mitchell was pretty huge in the late '80s, but then he floated around a few ballclubs in the '90s. He's probably best known for that 1-handed catch.)389 - Juan Castillo
274 - Todd Zeile (I wish this photo didn't have most of the baseball cropped out of it.)
288 - Paul Shuey (This is both Shuey's "MLB Debut" card and his "League Leader" card. The card fails to mention exactly what he led the league in, however.)432 - Brian Anderson
293 - David Hulse
335 - Devon White (Devo was a pretty solid player.)
413 - Josias Manzanillo (Not only am I not convinced that Josias was a real player, I'm fairly sure that's not even a real Mets uniform.)
318 - Frank Thomas Best Seat in the House (Wow.)
309 - Cecil Fielder (Cecil is feeling contemplative, wondering what his relationship with his son will be like in the future perhaps.)365 - Bill Swift
- Club Membership form
188 - Pedro Astacio Virtual Reality (Last time I posted a pack from this era someone explained to me that "virtual reality" meant that a player's stats were extrapolated for a full season as if the strike of 1994 never happened. Maybe that was "cyberstats", though. I'm confused. In any case, I don't understand these parallels.)379 - Jesus Tavarez
403 - Carlos Baerga Cover Story (The cover is better than the story, I think. I wonder if Baerga has ever been to wherever he's supposed to be perched in front of.)

1995 Topps did the CyberStats with full-season projected stats. Good shat.
That Frank Thomas card is disturbing on a secondary level.
The Virtual Reality cards in Stadium Club were based on the same concept as the CyberStat cards in '95 Topps.
OBTW, Paul Shuey led the AL in Strikeouts per 9 innings with 12.3. However this is a but dubious as he only pitched 11.2 innings that year.
