Barry Larkin
Year: 1998
Brand: Topps Stadium Club
Card number: 30
I've always enjoyed the Stadium Club brand a lot. As with most Stadium Club sets, the 1998 version features crisp photography in a borderless design. The Larkin image is somewhat unique in that Larkin appears to have just made a stop on a ground ball to his right but perhaps in such a way that he won't be able to make the throw over to first base for the out.
On the back you get a second image of Larkin (this time a generic batting pose) plus three years of statistics. While the limited stats are a bummer, I have always liked Stadium Club's additions such as "The Bottom Line" which not-so-coincidentally is located at the bottom of the card.
Overall, the 1998 TSC set is nice enough though I remember thinking that the "baseball seam" theme was a bit too forced, especially on the back of the card. That said, I appreciate that Topps did something a bit different with the design - and I always appreciate a great Stadium Club image of Larkin!
