What is the 1994 Stadium Club SPECIAL?!!?!?! HELP!!!!!!!

[VizquelCollector.com]

Beckett lists a 1994 Stadium Club "Special" that I have never heard of or seen before. Accoring to Beckett's list, it is NOT the First day Issue, Golden Rainbow, and Member's Only parallels, since it is listed in addition to these. I spoke with an editor there, and he was pretty certain that these exist, but not sure what exactly they are. Details below, but it doesn't add or up make sense to me.

From Beckett:
This 12-card set is standard sized and borderless. The fronts carry full color action shots. The Topps logo is in the upper left-hand corner. The featured player's name is in the bottom center with the first name typed in lower case and the last name typed in upper case. The backs have a small bio of the player along with his career stats.

#1 Infocard
#543 Lee Smith
#558 Shane Reynolds
#568 Juan Gonzalez
#572 Omar Vizquel
#574 Tom Glavine
#611 Pedro Martinez
#647 Hubie Brooks
#674 Eddie Murray
#675 Felix Fermin
#677 Billy Spiers
#678 Aaron Sele
#694 Jeff Treadway

It's been almost a year, thought this was worth a bump.

Has anyone even heard of these, let alone know what they are or even have one? I'm guessing our best bet of anyone having a copy, it'll be one of the insane Juan Gone collectors!

I believe there were some cards of these on ebay lastweek or so.I remember seeing the auction and couldnt remember such cards.

I think this might have been a promo set that was distributed to Stadium Club members.

I'd have to see an image of the cards to be sure.

Really? I couldn't find them. If you could find and post a link, it'd be great!

Anyone know anything about these? Still have never heard anything about them. If they do exist shouldn't they be near the top of a lot of want-lists like the Online Winners and FPP's...?

Dude, you saw the checklist! Besides Juan Gone, the next best card is the Infocard, and I don't think there are too many Infocard collectors out there!

There was a 9 card promo set, but not that checklist.

It wasn't listed at all on the Juangone.com website, which means that it doesn't exist.

Even though I'm not a Juan collector, have used that site several times to find the differences between cards.

Don't laugh me off the board, but Beckett has listed it for years. I know they suck, unreliable, awful website, etc. Just looking for more info on what these are.

I've used the site as well, but the fact it doesn't show up on the site is kind of indirect proof. Am I to believe they simply made up the card description and the checklist? I'm hoping to hear from someone with specific knowledge explain why it's on Beckett's site... confused with another product, wrongly named, checklist is incorrect, etc. I'd especially like to see the infocard and an example to definitively prove it.

Aside from the first sentence, the rest of the description is just of the base set. So, yes. They probably did just make it up after hearing something somewhere. They list plenty of sets/cards that don't really exist. There is no one still there that was on the staff back in the 1990s, and they didn't really document any of their research on their set listings, so none of the current employees will know where the information came from. Nevermind that the description says "This 12-card set" when there are 13 cards listed.

Good point, I missed that! I suspect you're right and would prefer not to have a mythical card to chase.
