Hi, my name is Kerry, and I have the contents of one baseball card package to divulge to you. This is my first post here. But I must warn you all, because what I'm about to show you is... EXTREME!
I will be posting my thoughts in real time rather than opening the pack and letting it sit on my desk for several days while I think of something intriguing or mildly interesting to say about what comes out. That's for lazy people. This, remember, is... EXTREME!

Will I pull any EXTREME PLAYERS? Only time and careful separation of mylar sealings will tell. So, here goes:
37 - Jaime Navarro (boo! Cubs! decidedly NOT EXTREME)

81 - Benji Gil (he clearly has a jet pack on his back and is therefore EXTREME)

149 - Pat Hentgen (the 1996 Cy Young Award winner with a wide shot of the Skydome in the background- pretty EXTREME)
74 - Jeff Brantley (The Cowboy worked for ESPN at one point... not so EXTREME)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeMGbFNY6O06FPgWtWPrKtWsFZ8oSW98KNZr4ydlaRm2AyrnHoD47Z74RuoFFTphIIVg7uDJHxISJM3ns0bbcbON5hMQd4vOluzVOFucpXlcHZFjvkj2T4M0_XycNv5jeHvdL0/s320/mesa96tsc.jpg)
4 - Jose Mesa (EXTREME mustache)

- Chad Curtis EXTREME PLAYER GOLD (but this has official contest rules on the back, so I don't know if it's truly EXTREME or if it's just trying to sell me something)
171 - Trevor Hoffman (EXTREME future Hall of Famer)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvS4m0NLiGv3VCAK0iie_LQALYePl-xtk5zJpdXwFsApuu5t8DJS_aOo9_7lm-_cAN6AXw_iOBQd7ImeZp7c5pV2ct0Q50O3oXnzo20hj8Tajc_vjKkTsLLjN4RcM3mS2KTdXL/s320/valentin96teamtsc.jpg)
196 - John Valentin Team TSC (EXTREME butt backing its way into the logo)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoCYb75yemqy8LnGuuCKw0SUQmC9n87czSS6jDXZnIRBno_Y1lIOv6-mc4wKAAVh8cAeeGbJATGg6IV03HQQu6ZdVA3WofXfWF90Fz0v8c3LIOGgVlYp7eEDmpUQNx9Lhsmkg9/s320/wow.jpg)
- FREE! STADIUM CLUB MEMBERSHIP WOW! (unfortunately, I don't think the word EXTREME is mentioned anywhere on this insert - how are they going to get anyone to sign up?)

32 - Bernard Gilkey (a Cardinal! can you say... EXTREME?)
144 - Tim Naehring (eh... not so much)
I had fond memories of the inaugural 1991 Stadium Club set and am always a sucker for full bleed cards. All sillyness aside, the design (at least on the front) isn't all that bad. I know nothing about this set as far as player selection goes, but I'll have to try and pick up the rest of the Cardinals I need from this set when I get a chance. This was part of my trip to a hobby store over the weekend, and I picked up a few other random packs from a group of neglected boxes on the floor that had markdown written all over them. Don't worry, I did not pay $3.00 for it.
