Description

1996 Pinnacle Aficionado is a 200 card set released in August 1996. With the exception of the "Global Reach" subset, all base cards are printed horizontally. All cards are printed on a 20-point thick cardstock that, unfortunately, was easily chipped. The chipping is especially evident on the black backs of the base cards making truly mint condition cards tough to find.

All packs, cards, and display boxes were sprayed with a bubble gum scent.

Distribution

16 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP $3.99).

Checklist

Promos

These three cards were sent to Hobby dealers to promote the upcoming Aficionado set.

  • 9 Roger Clemens
  • 107 Ryan Klesko
  • MN7 Albert Belle

First Pitch Preview

This promo set parallels the first 100 cards in the base set. Collectors who answered a series of trivia questions correctly on the Pinnacle Brands website would receive one randomly selected First Pitch Preview card via mail. Cards were also distributed to collectors on Pinnacle's mailing list. The cards are similar in design except for the bronze foil highlights and a logo on the front designating them as "First Pitch Preview" cards.

Production has been estimated at only 50-60 copies of each card, making it one of the toughest promo sets of the era.
