The Team Pinnacle Collector's Club was an attempt by Pinnacle Brands to create a "club" similar to Topps' Stadium Club. For $29.95 collectors would receive a tin box containing...
- An exclusive 30-card set featuring 10 baseball, football, and hockey cards.

- A Pinnacle-branded lucite screw-down card holder.

Club members were to have received a quarterly newsletter along with club-exclusive promo cards and other offers -- one of which was the 1998 Pinnacle Expansion Team Box Sets.
Just a couple of months after Team Pinnacle started, Pinnacle Brands went bankrupt and the club was discontinued. Playoff, which purchased Pinnacle's assets in bankruptcy court, chose not to continue Team Pinnacle. The teampinnacle.com website remained active until 2000.
