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 (minus Jose Cruz, Jr.) but the design differs: Each card featured the same basic design but 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.
