Description

1996 Select was a single-series, 200-card set issued in the summer of 1996 exclusively to Hobby outlets. Keeping with the theme from previous years, each base card had two photos on horizontally-oriented card front but this year featured a wood grain design. Unlike previous years, Pinnacle Brands did not publicly disclose production figures; however, it is believed that the number of cases produced increased from 4950 to about 5300. The set contained two subsets: Lineup Leaders (151-160) and Rookies (161-195).

The only notable rookie in the set was Livan Hernandez.
