Description

2000 Pacific Invincible is a 150-card set released in October, 2000. All cards are written in both English and Spanish.

The product was intended for release in August, but was pushed back so that Pacific could include their first game-used inserts. Unfortunately for Pacific, among those game-used cards is the now infamous Manny Ramirez "corked bat" card.

Distribution

36 packs per box, three cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99)
