Reed Kasaoka is the head buyer of the Sports Division at Dave & Adam's. His primary responsibility is traveling all over the country, buying private collections out of people’s closets, bedrooms, attics, basements, garages, and storage units, as well as complete inventories of show dealers, shop owners, autograph dealers, and distributors. Reed comes up with some amazing finds – rarely seen unopened boxes, quality graded cards, certified autographed memorabilia, and much more.
We have tagged all of his acquisitions as a Reed Buy so you’ll know where to look first for all of his deals. Almost every item is “one-of-a-kind” – so when you see something interesting, don’t hesitate, because there are likely many other collectors who are thinking the exact same thing!
24 Packs Per Box, 6 Cards Per Pack
The 1997 Stadium Club was issued in two series of 170 cards. The Series 1 set consists of only the odd numbered cards while Series 2 consists of the even numbered ones. Six prototype cards were released for Series 1. These cards contain only very subtle differences versus the regular base cards. Most noteably they can be differentiated by the white line of text below the copyrights and licensing logos instead of above. Included in eight of every nine Series 2 packs was a Pro Bowl ballot which offered collectors a chance to win a grand prize of a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. One hundred runners up could win an uncut sheet of Stadium Club Football Series 2 with the official Pro Bowl logo stamped on it. A checklist for Stadium Club Series 2 was included in every ninth pack.
