=Description=
 
1997 Stadium Club is a 390-card set released in two series of 195 cards.  The last 15 cards in each series (TSC 2000 cards 181-195 and Stadium Sluggers Cards 376-390) are both short-printed.


=Description=
The design of this year's set is notably more toned-down than the "extreme" sets of the mid-90s.  Cards were printed one a noticeably thicker 20-point cardstock with holographic embossing.  Also, for the first time, Stadium Club included on-card autographs.


1997 Stadium Club consists of 390 baseball cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-1/2". Cards 361 and 374 do not exist. Card 274 Tom Pagnozzi should be numbered 374 and card 351 Brant Brown should be numbered 361. Sub sets include: TSC 2000 cards 181-195 and Stadium Sluggers Cards 376-390 both were short-printed.
Series One was released in February 1997, with Series Two, two months later.

1 Chipper Jones
Each Topps wholesale account received one of these three Pre-Production sample cards along with their order forms for 1997 Stadium Club Series One baseball. The cards were designed to provide wholesale customers with a sneak preview of the upcoming Stadium Club release. The design parallels the regular issue cards except for the PP-prefixed numbering. In addition, the term "Pre-Production Sample" replaces the line of 1996 statistics on back.

The Members Only Factory Set were available to members of the Topps Stadium Club and features all 390 cards from the 1997 Stadium Club set, as well as the Millennium, Instavision, Firebrand, Patent Leather, and Pure Gold inserts.  This would be the final year for the Members Only factory set as Topps ended the Stadium Club. 


209 Roger Clemens
'''NOTE:''' Unlike previous Members Only sets, these cards were not marked on the front of the card. Rather, the words "TSC MEMBERS ONLY" are printed on reverse each card almost like a watermark.

This 12-card set is exclusive to Series One retail packs and feature redemption cards of 12 of the top sluggers.  Due to circumstances beyond Topps' control, they were unable to insert the actual die-cut wood cards into packs and had to resort to redemption cards, which expired September 30, 1997.

Description

1997 Stadium Club is a 390-card set released in two series of 195 cards. The last 15 cards in each series (TSC 2000 cards 181-195 and Stadium Sluggers Cards 376-390) are both short-printed.

The design of this year's set is notably more toned-down than the "extreme" sets of the mid-90s. Cards were printed one a noticeably thicker 20-point cardstock with holographic embossing. Also, for the first time, Stadium Club included on-card autographs.

Series One was released in February 1997, with Series Two, two months later.

Distribution

Series One Hobby/Retail: 24 packs per box, eight cards per pack (MSRP: $3). Series Two Hobby: 24 packs per box, nine cards per pack (MSRP: $3). Series Two retail: 24 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $2). HTA (both series): 12 packs per box, 15 cards per pack (MSRP: $5).

Each Topps wholesale account received one of these three Pre-Production sample cards along with their order forms for 1997 Stadium Club Series One baseball. The cards were designed to provide wholesale customers with a sneak preview of the upcoming Stadium Club release. The design parallels the regular issue cards except for the PP-prefixed numbering. In addition, the term "Pre-Production Sample" replaces the line of 1996 statistics on back.

Members Only Factory Set

The Members Only Factory Set were available to members of the Topps Stadium Club and features all 390 cards from the 1997 Stadium Club set, as well as the Millennium, Instavision, Firebrand, Patent Leather, and Pure Gold inserts. This would be the final year for the Members Only factory set as Topps ended the Stadium Club.

NOTE: Unlike previous Members Only sets, these cards were not marked on the front of the card. Rather, the words "TSC MEMBERS ONLY" are printed on reverse each card almost like a watermark.
