Description
1997 Score is a 551-card set released in two series; with cards 1-330 distributed in Series One packs and cards 331-551 in Series Two packs. The ten-card Series One packs and the 12-card Series Two packs carried a suggested retail price of $.99 each and were distributed exclusively to retail outlets. Card #551 was short-printed (about twice as tough to pull as a basic card), and is available in English (retail packs and factory sets) or Japanese (Hobby Reserve).
Please note that card number 514 was not issued as both Gary Sheffield and Jim Thome were sequentially-numbered 515.
Notable Rookie Cards include Brian Giles.

Hideki Irabu Bonus Cards
There are two versions of this card. The card with English text was only in Series Two retail packs and factory sets while the Japanese text card was exclusive to Series Two Hobby Reserve packs.

Parallels
Premium Stock/Hobby Reserve
Distributed exclusive to The Hobby, Premium Stock is an upgraded version of the Series One base set. The cards parallel the regular Score set except for a gray border, a card stock twice as thick as Score, and a prominent gold foil "Premium Stock" logo on front. The Series Two edition was dubbed "Hobby Reserve." Hobby Reserve was printed on a thinner card stock than the Premium Stock cards (but still thicker than regular Score), and had white borders. Each Hobby Reserve card was foil-stamped, differentiating them from the regular Score set.
Showcase Series
This foil-fronted parallel is available for all 551 cards, across all pack types.
NOTE: Showcase Series card #551 is only available in English.
Artist's Proofs
The Artist Proofs come in two varieties: One featuring a holographic "wave" pattern, and another with a plain gold-foil stamp.
NOTE: Artist's Proof card #551 is only available in English.
White-Bordered Artist's Proofs
Artist's Proofs White Border cards were randomly inserted exclusively into Score Series One retail packs. The cards share the similar "Artist's Proof" logo as seen on the more commonly traded Showcase Series Artist's Proofs. Unlike the silver-foiled Showcase Series Artist's Proofs, however, the White Border cards have plain white stock card fronts - making them easy to misidentify with a basic issue Score card. Please note that Series Two Artist's Proofs do not exist.
Reserve Collection
This "frosted" foil set parallels the Series Two set. It is only available in Series Two Hobby Reserve packs.
Inserts
Pitcher Perfect
Pinnacle Brands commissioned Seattle Mariners pitcher Randy Johnson to snap photos for this 15-card set, inserted into all Series One packs. The last card is a self portrait.

Franchise
This nine-card set honors superstar players for their irreplaceable contribution to their team. The fronts display sepia player portraits on a white baseball replica background. A "glowing" parallel with unique glow-in-the-dark ink was also produced. Both sets were inserted into all Series One packs.
A promo version of the non-glowing set was also produced and distributed to Hobby dealers. These cards have "SAMPLE" on both sides.

All-Star FanFest
For the 1997 All-Star Game in Cleveland, Pinnacle produced a special run of 1997 Score Series One packs, inside of which was an exclusive 20-card FanFest insert. This set is not to be confused with the 1997 Pinnacle FanFest set, which was distributed directly to attendees and features a similar design. The stated odds of finding an All-Star FanFest insert in one of these special packs was 1:29.

Stand & Deliver
This 24-card set is broken into six separate four-card groupings and randomly inserted into all Series Two packs as part of a contest. Groups contain players from the following teams: Braves (Cards #1-#4), Mariners (#5-#8), Yankees (#9-#12), Dodgers (#13-#16), Indians (#17-#20) and Wild Card (#21-#24). The four players featured within the Wild Card group are from "lesser" teams whom Pinnacle Brands thought had no shot at winning the 1997 World Series.
All 24 cards come in three versions:
- Silver (exclusive to Series Two retail and Series Two Hobby Reserve packs)
- Gold with silver letters (225 framed sets produced)
- Gold with red letters (25 framed sets produced)
Collectors who held all four cards of the eventual 1997 World Series Champion (or the four Wild Cards if one of the five selected teams did not win) could mail them to Pinnacle and receive one of 250 framed Gold parallels of the set. Since the Florida Marlins won the World Series that year, the four Wild Cards wound up being the winning cards.
Stand & Deliver Gold
Stand & Deliver Gold was a parallel limited to 250 sets and came encased in a glass frame -- with each frame (but not the cards) serial-numbered. Because of the unusual distribution, Stand and Deliver Gold singles are difficult to find, and when they are found, tough to find in mint condition. The Gold cards came in two different flavors: with the words "STAND & DELIVER" in either silver or red letters. It is believed that the first 25 framed sets had the red letters, with the remaining 225 sets were silver lettered.

Andruw Jones Blister Card
This card of Andruw Jones was always inserted on the top of pre-priced 1997 Score Series Two blister packs. The backs carry a "Thank you for buying Score Baseball Series II" sentence with a list and description of insert sets found. The rules for the Stand and Deliver Promotion rounded out the backs.
