Description

Totally Certified is a 150-card parallel brand of the 1997 Pinnacle Certified set that was Pinnacle's high-end product for the year. The checklist is identical to its Pinnacle Certified base brand but the design differs: Each chromium-stock card featured a new photograph and was printed on etched-foil. Just like its base brand, each card also featured a removable protective "peel".

Totally Certified was available exclusively in Hobby stores. Each three-card pack contained two Platinum Red cards (each serial-numbered to 3999) and one Platinum Blue card (serial-numbered to 1999). A Platinum Gold parallel (serial-numbered to 30) was the chase card in this set and was randomly inserted into packs. Only 999 twenty-box cases were produced and each waxbox was serial-numbered.

Unlike the base brand, a Jose Cruz, Jr. card does not exist in Totally Certified. The only significant "true" rookie card is Brian Giles.

Distribution

Three cards per pack, 18 packs per box (MSRP $6.99) Hobby exclusive.

NOTES

  • The Platinum Red cards (serial-numbered to 3999) were considered to be the "base" set in Totally Certified.
  • Since the checklist is identical to that of 1997 Pinnacle Certified, listing the Totally Certified checklist would be redundant.

Parallels

There were two parallels in Totally Certified:

  • Platinum Blue (serial-numbered to 1999)
