Info Dump: 2020 – 2022 Stadium Club Chrome Cards With Different Photos

I’d pretty much ignored Stadium Club Chrome until this weekend.

I’m not super into shiny cards, and – I know I’m the outlier on this – recent Stadium Club sets haven’t gotten me all that excited. I’ll pick up individual cards here and there, but blasters and the like have too much clutter for my collecting ways – parallels which I don’t care for, retired players I don’t collect and inserts which don’t interest me.

I barely even remembered that there’s a Chrome insert to regular Stadium Club and then there’s a Stadium Club Chrome set which gets issued months after the original. In the case of 2022 Stadium Club Chrome, the set came out well into 2023.

But then something happened that got me researching Stadium Club Chrome yesterday and into this morning.

The Dime Boxes blog shared a 2022 Stadium Club Chrome Austin Hays card which is how I found out that each of these three sets has 100 cards which aren’t in “regular” Stadium Club.

OK, time to add those sets to the Shlabotnik database.

As I was working on these and bumping up the Stadium Club checklist against the Stadium Club Chrome checklist, I found some players who changed teams between the two sets. Quick research made it seem that the team updates resulted in new photos, not just photoshopping of the original Stadium Club photo.

I was also tipped off that players who had a variation in regular Stadium Club usually got a different image in Stadium Club Chrome. This proved to be largely true.

I checked all of the players I collect as well as my team collections (Mets and Orioles).

Finally, I went through and tried to spot check certain players who seemed to get the new photos in Stadium Club Chrome… Obvious ones like Ohtani, Trout, Bryce Harper, Acuña Jr. and Griffey Jr., but also Yadier Molina, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and plenty of others.

I was expecting to find a handful of cards in each set, but it turned out that there were a lot more than I would’ve guessed.

Along with team updates and “just because” updates, there are also a handful of cards where the original Stadium Club player got dumped from the Chrome set because of… let’s say unseemly behavior on their part.  Think Trevor Bauer.

There were also a couple of players whose name was changed from one set to the other.  “Andy Young” to “Andrew Young”, “Jose Garcia” to “Jose Barrero” and “Jazz Chisholm” to “Jazz Chisholm, Jr.” (Jazz, unlike the others, also got a photo change).

Since I did all this work for my own purposes, I figured I’d share my findings here, hopefully someone will add some new cards to their wantlists as a result.

If you know of any cards I missed please leave a comment and I’ll update these lists.  I expect that I missed some cards, but I wasn’t about to go comparing 900 pairs of cards.  I spent too much time on this as it is.
