Description

1997 Pinnacle Mint is a 30 card and 30 coin set that was Pinnacle Brands' attempt to combine card collecting with numismatics -- but failing to appeal to either. Each base card has a die-cut whole where the player's corresponding coin was meant to fit.

Distribution

Three cards plus two coins per pack (MSRP: $3.99).

Parallels

All 30 base cards are available in the following parallels.

  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold

On each parallel, the die-cut hole is replaced with a foil-stamped team logo.

Coins

Each pack came with two coins and the checklist is identical to that of the cards. Each coin is available in the following metals.

  • Brass
  • Nickel-Silver
  • 24K Gold Plated Brass
  • Solid Silver (limited to 20 coins)
  • Solid Gold (one-of-one)

The Solid Gold coins packed out as exchange cards.

Two versions of the Manny Ramirez Brass coin were distributed - an erroneous version with the words "FINE SILVER" on the back, and a corrected version. The "fine silver" version appears to be about four times tougher to find than the corrected.
