1995 Topps Stadium Club - Pack 10 (Box Hit!)

Pack 10 of the box yielded the promised box "hit" of a Ring Leaders card.  Basically, each box had one Ring Leader phone card seeded in a random pack.  Once the ring leader card is found, there are three different levels:
Regular (seeded 1:2 boxes)
Silver (seeded 1:4 boxes)
Gold (seeded 1:7 boxes)
According to the back of the card, the idea was you were to make a call using the phone card and if you were a winner, the call would be redirected to an operator for prize claim details.  The number supposedly expired 1/1/96...I'm not going to try calling the listed number but perhaps whoever ends up with the card will scratch off the number and try it - and post the results on his or her blog!

Yep, two of them in the same pack...at least it is sort of a cool looking card!  These cards are part of the Cause & Effect subset - and I've now pulled two cards from the subset...and multiple copies of each of them.  Poor collation it would appear!

Ring Leaders - Silver (3 Units) - 1982 All-Star Game

Since the Ring Leader card doesn't have an actual team on it anywhere, I'm going to set it aside for now and random it off amongst all the teams that don't get a "hit" of some type during the group break.  Some lucky person will end up with a rare, super shiny phone card sponsored by MCI (which as far as I know is long since defunct)...
