Barry Larkin
Year: 1995
Brand: Stadium Club
Insert set: Virtual Reality Member's Only
Card number: 24
The Virtual Reality set is a partial parallel of the regular Stadium Club set while the Member's Only stamp means this card was only available in box set form. I guess that means this card is a parallel partial parallel? I dunno, Topps goes crazy with their parallels sometimes. I'm not a big fan of the "box set only" form of parallels, nor am I a fan of parallels that are differentiated by only a gold stamp. File this card under the "glad I own the Larkin card but I don't love myself for feeling like I needed to track this one down" pile. You might think that's a mighty specific pile name but unfortunately there are quite a few cards that reside in it... Oh well, that's the life of a player collector!
A parallel or a parallel. Interesting choice by Topps.
ReplyDeleteHad to check my Gwynn binders to see if I owned one of these. Not only do I need the parallel of the parallel... i need the parallel as well.
DeleteThe 1995 Stadium Club set is full of parallels, parallels of parallels, and parallels of inserts. What a mess!
