Learned something new today player collectors: 1998 Pinnacle

gracecollector · Feb 6, 2011

Wow, I spend a lot of time with 1990's cards and never heard about this. Kinda cool I got to add two new Grace cards today for just 30 cents each.

1998 Pinnacle was printed with 3 different backs, season statistics, home statistics and away statistics. I checked mine and have the season stats. The home and away stats variations were available from Burbank on beckett.com.

I just ordered them. Anyone have scans of the variations in their PC?

Wow never knew! I checked my Lankford collection, has the Away version in my collection and went back through my doubles box and found the Home. Looks like I need the Season stats now!

Glad I could help at least one other person. Can't believe I've never seen this mentioned before. Thanks for the scans. The "Seasons Stats" doesn't say anything, just has full stats.

Does this apply to the base set only or does it carry over to the parallels?

gracecollector · Feb 6, 2011

Base set only, and only cards #1 through #157.

no '98 Pinnacle for me

Had these already in my collection. Onionring9 told the McGwire collectors about these sometime last year.

It was in the first 90's thread.

I recall first hearing about it here somewhere on FCB...as it turns out I had 2 of the 3 already. COMC is good for these singles as you get to see scans of the backs...

Another variation from that thread was the 1998 collector's choice. Note the UD sticker in the bottom right.

Was this base set and was it the whole set?

olerud363 · Feb 6, 2011

I learned the same thing when I was searching Beckett Marketplace for Olerud's a couple of weeks ago, and actually learned about it from Burbank listings too! I figured it was probably already discussed here somewhere. Incidentally, I only have the "away" stats version.

With the addition of the 1998 Collector's Choice variation to this thread, it got me thinking that maybe it'd be good to have a sticky thread for this type of thing. I know there are already threads for "errors and variations", and for "cool 1990's inserts", but it'd be nice to have one thread dedicated to 1990's variations since there has been a lot of discussion about them in a couple of other threads.

I'm such an idiot. Why I didn't think to look in my doubles box is beyond me. I checked my list, and saw that I had two 98 Pinnacle doubles. I dug them out, and - what are the odds - one was the Home and one was the Away. Of course, after I placed the order. ::facepalm::

While I had the box out, I checked my old Donruss, and found that I had the 89, 90, 91 and 92 Donruss "Inc" and "Inc." variations. (Back copyright can be found both with and without a period after (Year) Leaf, Inc).

ok, who's got an extra '98 CC #143 with the diamond hologram?

Brad, don't forget that '89 actually has 4 variations:

*denotes - INC and *denotes - INC.

*denotes* - INC and *denotes* - INC.

Thanks for the reminder. I remember seeing those scans before. Turns out I had all four.

Anyone remember which year Upper Deck (89, 90, 91?) had the variations with and without copyright line on back? Might as look for those while I got the boxes out.

So there is an INC with *Denotes* version? I've got the other three. Time to search for that last one.
