Description

1998 Pinnacle Certified was supposed to be a 150-card release, intended for release in early August, 1998. The product was never released due to Pinnacle Brands' bankruptcy in July, 1998.

According to the sell-sheets issued by Pinnacle Brands, the Totally Certified product introduced the previous year was to have been absorbed into Pinnacle Certified as parallels. Also, the final batch of Epix inserts were to have been included.

Over the years, a number of cards from this set, especially from the "Mirror Red" and "Totally Certified Platinum Gold" parallel sets, have made their way into the secondary market. Just like with most 1998 Select and Donruss Limited, and high-numbered Donruss Crusade cards, they were likely "backdoored."

In October of 2017, several Mirror Red singles went up for sale on eBay. Also, a base, Certified Red, Mirror Red, Mirror Blue, and Mirror Gold set also emerged.

Checklist

The following was the provisional checklist provided by Pinnacle Brands before their bankruptcy. A few years after their bankruptcy, a decent amount Mirror Red and Totally Certified Platinum Gold parallels of many players - stars, semi-stars, and commons - surfaced on the secondary market. However, between the early 2000's and 2017, some Mirror Red, Totally Certified Platinum Gold, and Platinum Blue parallels sporadically appeared on the secondary market.

Then, in October 2017, an entire set of the base and the Certified Red, Mirror Red, Mirror Blue, and Mirror Gold parallels surfaced all together. This confirmed that all players in the set (1-150) had at least one base, Certified Red, Mirror Red, Mirror Blue, and Mirror Gold version. However, there were no Totally Certified Platinum Blue or Gold parallels included in this collection.
