Added the ID to the partial rainbow. It really is one of the nicest parallels Topps ever made (Hope Diamond from 2011 is still king).

@LilDingers I completed that set a long way back, I remember the Seaver and Maddux being exceptional hard to find. There were some other unannounced SP’s but those are the two that stick out. I think they took me longer to find than the golds

Okay, who is bidding against me for this card? At this point, I think I'll wait for another '99 Century Legends Seaver to pop up.

@frank_lubatti @CBuddy22 I bought a David Aardsma just to have one. One of the best parallels ever made

Cards are funny. I won't get 2 hope diamonds in 6 months, then I'll get 2 in a few days
Shoutout @CBuddy22 for the easy trade!
This is probably available. Won't be cheap and definitely won't be what the last one sold for lol

2025 Stadium Club
It appears that Topps is being a bit sneaky, and I have a feeling there will be some unhappy collectors. New renderings of retail format packaging has no mention of Chrome cards being in the product. Those were the only indication we had that there might be Chromes in SC this year.
So with this possibility, I figured I would go ahead and amend the only numbers that are affected within my analysis.
Total cards remains the same at 64,401,495.
Total base (after removing presumptive Chrome):
49,057,588
Base Card Print Run:
245,288 ea
If we do not have Chromes or Chrome parallels, this increases to the list of weird omission made to a product that has a YOY increase of 121%.
Popular 2024 inserts & parallels potentially axed from 2025 Stadium Club now include:
•Chromes & Chrome Parallels including Gold Minted (notably Chrome Autos are listed on the odds sheet for 2025)
•Black Foil/Purple Foil
•First Day Issue
•Image & Design Variations including Design Variation autos
•Goin' Yard (though we have Goin' Yard autos notated on the odds)
•Stadium Club in 3D
•Triumvirates
•Lone Star Signatures
I did not mention the more common inserts because I wouldn't call them "sought after".
So, in summary, either Topps butchered an odds sheet, or they're all but dismantling pivotal pieces of a popular product. It will be interesting to see how much of this is actually confirmed by real world rips, or if we're getting worked up about nothing. I think either scenario is equally plausible.

2025 Topps Stadium Club Analysis and Deep Dive After you've immersed yourself in hundreds of odds sheets, a few truths start to feel almost universal. One of them is simple: buy hobby. Another, production went up. Every now and then, a product breaks that rule and does something genuinely interesting, whether it’s Pro Debut zigging where everything else zags, or a retail format like NBA Chrome Hangers unexpectedly carrying the value crown. Stadium Club has always lived comfortably in its own lane. It’s a fun rip that actually forces you to look closer at the photography, it usually feels fairly priced, and year over year you generally know what to expect without too many surprises. And in many ways, this release is no different. In other ways...let's just say you might want to strap in. Beneath the surface, there are some notable quirks that are going to require a bit of a deeper look. One format clearly separates itself from the rest, and more importantly, the published odds leave out a critical piece of information that materially impacts how this product can be evaluated. So before leaning on assumptions or past versions, let’s strip it down and see what the numbers actually tell us. Total cards in the product: 64,401,495 2024 Stadium Club- 29,135,860 YOY +121% Total Production By Format: Important note: I typically don't split up the "SE" (Topps/Fanatics direct) & "EA" (retail store exclusive) versions of SKUs as they're generally very similar in odds...but this time the difference matters. Additionally, we know that autos in Hobby boxes have been reduced from 2 to 1 for 2025. With this, last year's Compact Boxes or "Hobby Foundation Boxes" as listed on the odds sheet (1 auto ea) have also been abandoned and replaced with Mega Boxes (not 1 auto ea). 2025 Hobby- 109.963 boxes (6,873 cases) 2024 Hobby- 51,150 boxes YOY +115% Value Box SE- 305,508 boxes (7,638 cases) Value Box EA- 150,674 boxes (3,767 cases) 2025 Total- 456,182 Value Boxes 2024 Total- 271,564 Value Boxes YOY +68% Mega Box SE- 85,048 boxes (4,252 cases) Mega Box EA- 67,807 boxes (3,390 cases) 2025 Total- 152,855 Mega Boxes 2024 Total (Compact Boxes)- 59,063 YOY +159% Fat Pack SE- 396,574 packs (3,672 cases) Fat Pack EA- 274,615 packs (2,543 cases) 2025 Total- 671,189 Fat Packs 2024 Total- 529,740 Fat Packs YOY +26.7% So, we've already established that production more than doubled from 2024 to 2025. So the number of autos should have too, right? Guess again. 2025 Total Autos in Product- 229,748 2024 Total Autos- 197,237 YOY +16.5% Production more than doubled, yet total auto insertion increased ever so slightly... What's Missing: Earlier, I mentioned that the odds sheet is missing some critical information, and this is where it starts to matter. Published photos of both Value and Mega Boxes clearly show base Chrome parallels inserted at a rate of 1 per 2 packs. Strangely, those base Chromes are not listed anywhere on the odds sheet. The only Chromes that are listed are autos. I also have to assume base Chromes appear in Hobby boxes as well, but so far I have not seen any packaging or photos that indicate how many are included per box. Hopefully, this same omission explains the absence of the wildly popular Gold Minted parallel, a staple of past Stadium Club releases and one of the best-looking cards in the set, which is also nowhere to be found on the odds sheet. Due to these omissions, and in order for my comparisons to have substance, I'm going to make a couple of assumptions. 1) Since it appears we know how many Chromes will be in Megas & Values, I'm going to assume the same insertion rate to be true in Hobby boxes, giving us 8 Chromes/hobby box. 2) I'm also going to assume 1 Chrome per Fat Pack, though this matters very little considering the Fat Packs are a must avoid if you are looking for any kind of value. This will allow estimated total card production to be accurate, though Chrome estimation could be a bit off one way or the other. One additional question worth asking: have we ever seen base Chromes in a release without Chrome parallels? If Chrome parallels do exist here, they are missing from the odds sheet as well. If we find they do exist, I will simply adjust my figures by converting the appropriate amount of base cards to Chrome parallels. The bottom line is with current data, we just have to do the best we can. Depending on how dense the Chromes are, and whether Chrome parallels are in play, Stadium Club boxes, especially Hobby, are almost certainly better than what the current data can confirm. I’ll update this as more information surfaces, but unfortunately that may not happen until we can watch the product being ripped. What's Not Missing: This year, we have a fun little addition that I don't recall from past Stadium Club releases, Magic Boxes. Something similar has shown up in several different releases now, and I have no idea what they contain, but based on the recent Cosmic Lunar boxes, they could be phenomenal. I hope someone records a rip of one of these, so we get to share in the details. Magic Box production is as follows: 6 Magic Hobby Boxes 2 Magic Mega Boxes 7 Magic Value Boxes Hit Frequencies Hobby Boxes: Autos: 1.2 per box (Boxes state 1 auto per box, but the math suggests a meaningful number of boxes will contain an “extra” auto. Extra- meaning fewer than last year, but more than what’s advertised.) Parallels: 19.2 per box + 8 Chrome/box presumptively Inserts: 8.2 per box Numbered Cards: roughly 1 per 2.2 hobby boxes Numbered cards appear slightly diluted this year. There are several unnumbered parallels across formats, but relatively few that are actually numbered. This assumes the new turquoise parallel is /99 and that Golds, which were unnumbered last year, are now /50. Value Boxes SE: (Topps/Fanatics online) 15.9 boxes per auto, 5 parallels per box (+4 Chromes), 2 inserts, and a rough 44.7 boxes per numbered card EA: (Retail outlets) 9.1 boxes per auto, 5 parallels per box (+4 Chromes), 2 inserts, and 22.1 boxes per numbered card This is the first time I can remember odds being markedly worse on a format directly from the manufacturer than the ones you can pick up at your local Target. The difference in autos alone is enough to warrant buying your value boxes in person. But before you go that route, do yourself a favor a read a few more paragraphs first. Mega Boxes SE: 3.3 Boxes per Auto, 11.1 parallels/box (+9 Chromes), 9 inserts, 8.7 Boxes/# card EA: 3.2 Boxes per Auto, 11.1 parallels/box (+9 Chromes), 9 inserts, 6.9 boxes/# Card Megas don't show a lot of difference, but I still wanted to separate them as I have an underlying point to make about this. Fat Packs SE: 54 packs/auto, 1 parallel, 0.5 inserts, 309 packs/# cards EA: 28.4 packs/auto, 1 parallel, 0.5 inserts, 214 packs/# card It is clear that when it comes to retail, the EA version of all formats is distinctly better. If you must buy retail, buy it in person. As strange as is sounds, don't order retail direct from Topps. However, even more importantly, if at all possible, retail should be avoided. For the sole reason that, by the numbers, Hobby boxes are the best format BY A MILE. Value Landscape: $/card: 1) Mega- 35¢ 2) Value- 63¢ $/parallel: 1) Mega- $2.49 2) Value- $2.76 $/auto: 1) Hobby- $101.69 2) Mega- $159 $/# card: 1) Hobby- $264 2) Mega- $345 At a macro level, this view actually look very tame compared to my full value spreadsheet that itemizes every parallel, insert, and auto. But the takeaway is unmistakable. Hobby boxes are the most cost-effective way to pull meaningful variations of any kind, and in almost every category they win by a wide margin. Given that Hobby prices are likely to spike, I wanted to see where the break-even point actually is. Even at $200 per box, Hobby still dominates autos and parallels and is only slightly behind Megas from big-box retail when it comes to inserts. The gap in auto value is so large that retail simply doesn’t make sense until Hobby pushes well past that price point. So yes, this will sound familiar: if you’re buying Stadium Club, just buy Hobby. I know, it sucks, it’s down to one auto. Just buy Hobby. I know, Mega boxes literally have the most cards per box of all formats. Still, just buy Hobby. Best format for value: I think you know my thoughts here.
