I think the Packers uniform is the biggest reason. I remember that the 1992 card wasn't always more valuable than the 1991 card. If someone has a 1993 Beckett it would be interesting to see.
1991 Stadium was a mass quantity issue with 1992 production down significantly, but strill relatively high. Example 1991 Stadium Farve has 509 cards graded PSA 10's; 1991 53 PSA 10's. PS.......I love the Packers almost as much as the RED WINGS !!
My focus, 1970 Topps Baseball Raw and Graded, pre 1989 PSA Hockey and 1933 INDIAN GUM ! Yikes!!
The 1992 Stadium Club third series was a retail only product printed in relatively shorter supply than either of the first two series. I remember trading the Aikman and another star from the high series for some Phillies 1993 Finest base cards of Kruk and Dykstra. Sounds kind of silly now but back then both products were that hot, and the Phillies were doing well that year.
It is just because of the print run. It has nothing to do with what team or uniform or however they spelled his name. Look at the prices of all the cards in that series. They are all high
This is what I always heard? The Quarterbacks have/had a seperate type agreement , sort of like their own player association, and for some reason couldn't strike a deal with Topps in 1992 . This is the reason all the Quarterbacks are in series 3 Topps products in 1992 .
That is a great card design. Even though I'm a Vikings (and Broncos) fan, I have the utmost respect for Brett Favre as a player and a human being. If there was ever any doubt as to whether I could appreciate a Packer, it was erased forever on that Monday Night Football game after his father passed away. I could not believe what Brett did and how he handled the grief he had to have been feeling. I was (more?!) useless during the days after my mother passed away in '84...I can't imagine being in the MNF limelight so soon after such a loss...
Of course, the correct spelling is Favre, but I would not have imagined this many (590) listings with an incorrect spelling of Favre's name...Very surprising...
are there actually series 3 wax boxes out there? i see a pack on the bay for $25 but no one jumping on it and some singles but no wax. bbce doesn't have any either.

this auction doesn't seem right.. he has a bunch of 92 stadium club favre cards.. all ungraded.. if you are cracking boxes of this stuff.. why not spend a couple extra bucks to grade the cards.. and all are only a buck.. i know auctions spike in cost the last 10 min.. but it this seems strange to me. do you guys think this is legit? or am i just over valuing this card?? i don't so much about condition.. i would be happy with a psa 8.. i'm just concerned about the authenticity

Well from working in my friends shop for the last 8 years or so, I think we have maybe had one or two boxes of the series three from 1992. Very hard to find.

Just a guess.

There are simply less 92's.
Also, and this is somewhat key too. 92 is the first year they spelled his name right!!! the 91 stadium club is Brett Farve.

BBCE has a box listed at $900.00.
There are also two boxes listed on ebay.

Check out his feedback. He just got a neg from someone who bought a 92 SC Favre from him. The feedback itself tells me to avoid bidding at all costs.
