1996 Pinnacle FanFest

Description

1996 Pinnacle FanFest is a 30-card set released in conjunction with the 1996 Major League All-Star Game FanFest in Philadelphia (of which, Pinnacle Brands was the presenting sponsor). Each attendee received a 2-card pack with each admission.

Card #30 of Phillies All-Star catcher Darren Daulton uses lenticular technology and was inserted at a rate of about 1:60 packs. Card #31 of Steve Carlton was intended to be laminated and used for the official FanFest badges; but apparently, some loose cards also were given to FanFest volunteers. The Carlton card is not considered part of the complete set.

Five other "inserts" (which all have the design but no foil stamping or UV coating) were also issued by Pinnacle as part of the celebration. These five cards feature different personalities (most of whom are non-baseball related) involved in the show.

The set is considered complete at 30 cards with the Daulton SP.
