562.0. "1993 Topps Stadium Club Members Only Basketball" by DNEAST::GALLANT_RAY () Thu Jun 03 1993 11:40

    Has anyone heard of the offer that Topps has out where you can get
    the Ser I and Ser II Basketball set along with the Beam Team set
    all cards to be stamped with "Members Choice".  Heard bits and
    pieces need more information.  Price somewhere in the $199.00
    range.  If so is this a good deal or not.

562.1It's TrueFUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Thu Jun 03 1993 20:1511
    I got some info in the mail today on this set. Both series I and II,
    plus the Beam Team set all stamped with "Members Only".  Only 12,000
    sets will be made. It also include sheets and a special binder. Con-
    sidering the Beam Team Shaq  goes  for 350-400$, it's probably not a
    bad price,  but then the people  who  own the original Beam Team and
    paid 300$ or so for it will tell you it's not.
    
    By the way,  any bets  the  guy  from  BYU gets really hyped for the
    coming year.

562.2shaq hype should cool off next yearRECV::MCEVOYFri Jun 04 1993 09:3111
    I don't think Bradley (BYU 7'6'') will put up the kind of numbers
    that Shaq did his rookie year. Whoever ends up being number one will
    probably get the most hype. Webber, Mashburn, Chaney, etc will all be
    good pros, but I'd be surprised to see any of them in the All Star 
    game next year. 
    
    I think you'll see cards priced similar to Larry Johnson, or Mourning
    or Laettner; A certain ammount of the Shaq prices will carry over,
    but hopefully not too much.

562.3Only one set per memberFUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Fri Jun 04 1993 10:415
    So I don't get any more mail on this, you're only allowed to order one
    set per member.  I've already ordered the set for someone else so it's
    taken.

562.4MY set has arrived, nice set..butSASE::KPARKERThu Jul 29 1993 13:065
I received my set yesterday and immediately opened it up.  The regular 
set looks very classy with the members only gold embossing on it, but 
when I looked at the "BEAM TEAM" cards, I noticed the embossing was
NOT gold.  Now I preceive this plain embossing as more of a card
flaw then a feature.  Any other opinions? 
562.5Write or call Stadium ClubFUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Sat Jul 31 1993 11:4010
    I didn't open the Basketball set since I gave it to someone else, but
    I did open the baseball set and the "Members Only" embossing was gold
    on the chase cards like the rest of the set.  Maybe the Beam Team em-
    bossing was a flaw.  You could  write  to  Stadium Club  and ask them
    about it. Or you could keep it  like  the folks on Home Shopping Club
    would say because it's a variation so it'll be more valuable. This is
    what they told one caller  who  questioned  a  card on an uncut sheet
    that was off-center.

562.7FUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Mon Aug 02 1993 12:526
    I received series I about six weeks ago  and series II maybe a week and
    a half ago. With series II I got the sheet and binders. The letter said
    I'd get my certificate with series III. Kind of  expensive  to transfer
    the certificate (20$) to some one else.
