Description

1992 Pinnacle was Score's first stab at a "premium" product. It is a 620-card set released in two 310-card series. The cards have a black-border which makes Gem Mint copies difficult to find, and an anti-counterfeit "bar code" device appears in the bottom border of each card back. A special ribbed plastic Lenticular detector card was made available that allowed the user to view the anti-counterfeit device and unscramble the coding with the word "Pinnacle" appearing.

Special subsets featured include '92 Rookie Prospects (52, 55, 168, 247-261, 263-280), Idols (281-286/584-591), Sidelines (287-294/592-596), Draft Picks (295-304), Shades (305-310/601-605), Grips (606-612), and Technicians (614-620).

Rookie Cards in the set include Brian Jordan, Jeff Kent and Manny Ramirez.

Distribution

Wax: 36 packs per box, 16 cards per pack (MSRP: $1.99)
