1998 Pinnacle Plus

Description

1998 Pinnacle Plus is a 200-card set released in August, 1998. Like most Pinnacle Brands sets of the era, it follows the same formula (The same 150 players with the super stars doubled-up in a pointless subset or two mixed in with a couple dozen of non-rookie "rookies"; boring inserts; and a $3/pack price point). Not suprisingly, this was the last baseball card set Pinnacle Brands would release, as they went out of business a few weeks later.

Distribution

24 packs per box, 10 cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99).
