Stadium Club deja vu ... again

I read with interest Cardboard Junkie's account today of the two different Topps Stadium Club blasters that he had busted and how similar they were. That's because I bought an SC blaster yesterday, and noticed it was remarkably similar to dayf's blasters.

How similar? Well dayf listed a side-by-side, card-by-card account of each of his two blasters. I'm going to put my blaster up against those two. Dayf differentiated between his two blasters with red and green Christmas colors. I'm going to put my blaster in blue, because I always like blue lights at Christmas.

Here's the startling rundown:

And that is a nice example of how card companies are trying to make set-builders extinct. Out of three blasters, these are the only cards that were not duplicated:

14 Prince Fielder
36 Troy Tulowitzki
48 John Lackey, 1st day
51 Ichiro, 1st day
56 Garrett Atkins, photographer's proof

147 Radhames Liz, RC, 1st day

And eight of those came out of dayf's "green" blaster, which appears to be the most unique of the three, but that's not saying much.

I find it interesting that dayf ended up with two Manny Ramirez cards and I got NONE. Anyway, that puts the kibosh on me buying any more Stadium Club blasters.
