Die cut cards are awesome!

I love die cut cards

2021 Stadium Club finally provided me with a new die cut card of Cutch to add to the collection.  There were no die cuts of Cutch (to the best of my knowledge) produced in 2020.  Of course there are a few parallels to chase after.  So far I have gotten only the red parallel.  

I wish there were some sort of technology involved with the design.  I seem to recall the Triumvirates in the past having some sort of holofoil technology, but maybe I'm thinking of something else. 

I like the image chosen for Cutch and when you collect the Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm you can interlock them all together.

The back discusses that only 5 active players have gotten more than Cutch's career offensive WAR.  

Awesome!

Mike Trout is the only outfielder among the five.  His career offensive WAR is 73.7.

The others include three first basemen

Joey Votto 55.9 oWAR

Miguel Cabrera 79.2 oWAR

Albert Pujols 85.5 oWAR

Do you have a favorite die cut card in your collection? 

What are some of your favorite die cut designs?

Case hit results in the fastest click ever

I get eBay notifications for new Cutch cards every day.  I also have urges to check for new auctions a few times a day.

When I saw the acetate 2014 Stadium Club Illuminator pop up for $4 delivered Buy It Now, I couldn't click fast enough.  The Illuminator parallel is 1 per case and many have sold for $20+ when they become available. 

Despite being only 1 per case, the secondary market is extremely cheap compared to a 1 per case Throwback jersey Heritage card.  While the Heritage 1 per case cards can bring in a value of over $200+, Stadium Club parallels havent really taken off to those extremes yet.  I attribute this to many more master set builders of Heritage compared to Stadium Club.

The card looks similar to the others, but unlike the Luminous version (1 per box), the Illuminator is a see through acetate design.

The backs are radically different not just because of the card stock used, but in the actual look of the backs too.

I still need the Luminiscent parallel which falls 1 in 4 boxes.
