1997 Zenith Question. Do these cards exists?

cbrandtw · Oct 27, 2009

I have on my player checklist a 1997 Zenith the Big Picture but I can't find the card of my guy or any other player for that matter. The card is not even listed in the Beckett price guide. Does someone have a scan of what one looks like or do they even exist? Coincidentally my player (A-Rod) has the same card number as his 8 x 10 insert #13.

Thank you

You just can't get anyone to help you on this, can you?

I have never heard of them or seen anything of them. But I am far from an expert.

Good luck man.

If these are what I think they are, I remember seeing them in Toys R Us back in 1997/98. They were huge, like 2 x3 feet or something like that, smaller than a poster but much larger than the 8x10's. They were in a larger plastic sleave hanging from pegs near the front of the store. I saw Roger Clemens but didn't look through the rest, I wasn't interested in anything that large and probably nobody else was either which is why they are so hard to find now. Probably a pallet of them sitting around in a TRU warehouse somewhere.

I have never heard of them either. Took a look in the SCD & saw no mention of them. Where did you hear about them?

I believe you're thinking of the Pinnacle cards.

yes, those are the 1998 Pinnacle Uncut cards.

Cobra, I am looking at my player checklist I printed off of Beckett that I use as a folder for quick reference if I have a card or not. If it exist it would have to be an insert that other star players are in. Do you have a list of Frank's cards from '97? I'm sure he would have been in the set.

Just took a look on the back of the box and a pack and there is no mention of them. Of course these are the 8x10 boxes so I don't know about the normal size card packs.

Could scan the back of a box later if you'd like and it'd help ease your mind :lol:

I trust you. I'm just going to ignore it and never look for it again. Thanks

Frank Thomas is listed as #1 in the Big Picture set...whatever that means.

allstars · Oct 27, 2009

I think I remember an oversize all-dufex card from that product, in fact I think I had the FThomas at one point...

The Big Picture is just the technical name for the 8x10 set that comes 1/pack

I would tend to agree with this. They all are numbered the same as the 8x10 and 8x10 dufex set. I have a feeling, Beckett just double lists the same set under the a different name.

You mean these:

Regualr 8 X 10 Gwynn

Dufex 8 x 10's:
Griffey Jr, I still need to send this to Magic

Clemens

Belle

Jeter

What a BEAUTY! I've never seen that one before.

Be8el0ve · Oct 27, 2009

I have a few regular 8" x 10's and 8 x 10" dufex if anyone really needs there player... plus this one, were these harder to pull?

8" x 10"

I think I can say the A-rod exists:

I'm not an a-rod collector either so lemme know if you want to trade or send me a few bucks. I collect Manny Ramirez and 1998 bowman chrome inserts.

This seems to make sense. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't another licensed card not recognized by Beckett like the '97 Score Stand and Deliver Gold.

Carrsallstars, thanks for the offer but I have that card.

BunchOBull · Oct 27, 2009

I don't think the V2s were that tough, but they aren't so easy to find now.

Thank you

? Guess I misunderstood that "can't find the card of my guy...do they even exist?" to mean that you did not have one

That Jeter is sweet looking, but that Griffey was amazing. All of that Museum action in on place!
