	Because 1998 Pinnacle Certified was never officially released, each player in the Epix set had a missing ~~version~~ that was supposed to be inserted in Pinnacle ~~Certfied~~ packs. ~~However~~, the PBF ~~introduced~~ these ~~missing~~ Epix ~~Moment, Season, Play, or Game versions that people believed to~~ have ~~never been produced, printed, or distributed~~. Please see our separate article on [[1998 Pinnacle Epix]] for a checklist of these cards.		Because 1998 Pinnacle Certified was never officially released, each player in the Epix set had a missing fourth card that was supposed to be inserted in Pinnacle Certified packs. For years, it was assumed that, much like the rest of the 1998 Pinnacle Certified product, these cards were never produced. Thanks to the PBF, these Epix cards have finally seen the light of day. Please see our separate article on [[1998 Pinnacle Epix]] for a checklist of these cards.

However, in October of 2017, a full base set along with a complete set of Certified Red, Mirror Red, Mirror Blue, and Mirror Gold parallels emerged on the secondary market, which some have dubbed the "Pinnacle Baseball Find" (PBF).
