If you’re digging into 2017 Stadium Club Baseball, you’re probably going to spend a lot of time looking at photos. And for good reason. But now the 2017 Topps Stadium Club variation short prints are probably going to have you go back and look again.

2017 Stadium Club Baseball Variations: What to Look For

The 2017 Topps Stadium Club variations are your basic SSP cards in that they simply offer another photo. The design is the same as the base cards. In a lot of other sets, the photo variations can usually be pretty easy to spot. That’s because the short print photos often use photos that jump out in some way versus the typical batting stance and mid-pitch shots that are used so often.

But the entire Stadium Club base set is a celebration of great photography. Regular cards use images that are often the type you find on variations in places like Topps Baseball.

So if you’re looking strictly at the front, finding them here might be tough without basic memorization (or a handy gallery at your disposal like the one below).

One theme that is apparent, though, is the art of the World Series celebration. Several Cubs players are shown with the World Series trophy, others are in the parade. And Kris Bryant? He’s got a WWE Championship belt.

De-Coding the 2017 Topps Stadium Club Variation Backs

So if the fronts can be tough to spot, flip the cards over and the answer is right there. This is one of the sets where you can use the code in the fine print to confirm whether a card is a SSP variation.

At the end of the fine print is a long code. It’s intended for internal stuff. But they can also be used to help classify card types in a product. Codes for standard base cards in this set end in 3023. 2017 Topps Stadium Club variations end in 3055.

How Rare Are SSPs?

Variations have become commonplace in a lot of modern sports card products. In some sets, they’re fairly common. In others, they can be extremely tough. There’s a trade off on both ends. Easy variations aren’t necessarily a challenge to put together. However, the rare ones, like Topps Heritage Throwbacks, can fetch big prices on the secondary market.

The 2017 Topps Stadium Club variations fall somewhere in the middle. At 1:72 hobby packs, they’re not in every box. It works out to about four per hobby case.

The unknown variable at this point is the total number of variations. The original sell sheet mentioned 50 total. But the checklist Topps released didn’t include them, so it’s not yet known if things changed (it probably didn’t). In instances like this, there is usually an initial frenzy when the product first arrives but further down the road individual cards can become quite tough to find.

In the days ahead, we’ll be compiling a 2017 Topps Stadium Club variations checklist and gallery showing you exactly what to look for. So bookmark the page for future reference and check back as more cards are added. If you have a variation that isn’t listed, please feel free to drop us an email (images are very helpful) and we’ll get it listed.

    I think the card companies should hire some former Hallmark card writers to come up with some original and interesting inserts instead of these stupid and boring variation poses! Is there no creativity left in America?
