I've been running a group break over on my blog - this is a pack from that particular break (pack #22 from the Pinnacle box for those keeping track of such things).
1998 Pinnacle Performers
16. Mark McGwire - Cardinals
39. Bernie Williams - Yankees
One thing I noticed from the set is often the better picture is on the back of the card rather than the front. Weird...
77. Todd Hundley - Mets
81. Jason Kendall - Pirates
96. Jeff Abbott - White Sox
119. Miguel Tejada - Athletics
126. Juan Encarnacion - Tigers
149. Checklist
There are three checklists in the set - they are numbered as part of the set and make up the last three cards in the set. I'm pretty sure I used the word set too many times for one sentence.
32 of 50. Vinny Castilla - Swing for the Fences - Rockies
The Swing for the Fences cards were part of an insert contest thing. The idea was to find the league homerun leader AND find a card depicting the correct number of homeruns that player hit in order to win some sort of prize.
Wow. Look how skinny Vinny looks.
ReplyDeleteWow, a very ugly looking base set...way too busy.
