To me one of the coolest things about the first year of Stadium Club was the backs. Not so much the stats but the rookie card of each player on the back.
Garry Templeton has the oldest rookie card in this set, 1977. Every year through 1985 except for 1980 is represented in this bunch. I hadn't realized that Whitson had broken in with the Pirates.
There are 4 rookie cards from the 1985 set. Hobby legend Bip Roberts represents 1986. Phil Stephenson is part of a set that came out for a few years that featured players with their major league Debut.
Many instances of the debut set in this bunch.
1991 Padres Stadium Club team set.
24 cards, 2 Hall of Fame members and 2 players who are no longer with us.

It would be a lot of fun to use one of those early Stadium Club designs in Archives and play around with the rookie cards on the back. It could range from 19th century tobacco cards to the current Topps set.
Early stadium club like this rocks. We don't have cool card backs anymore
Very cool to see all these in one spot, thanks for sharing!
Forgot that Hammaker played for the Royals... and the Padres. As for Stadium Club... this was such a great set. I also liked the idea of putting their rookie cards on the back.
The backs really stood out back then, and they still do even after all of these years.
