Wow thats pretty cool. Have you ever taken the cards with the clipped corners
out to see if the backs are marked? Of course I would love a scan of the Griffey
back and front if you have time?
Me too but he is saying Berg didn't go to the 96 Fanfest and there has been two
posted articles saying he did? I can't believe nobody took a picture of the finished
product?
Nope :lol: jk I don't know what to believe now? All I do know I have never seen a 96 or 97
fake or real Griffey and I search daily through 100's of auctions for hidden gems..
I think because they didn't have the 97's done in time. Not sure how long they need to make these
but guessing a month or so? I have asked for a picture or confirmation from his site but haven't
gotten back to me yet..

No like andruwjones said there must not be a lot of fakes out there because
they never surface. I have never seen any fakes. It's confusing because
they did this at the 97 All Star Game but used the 96 Cards and they only did
this one year not both... This is what the Ripken and others look...
Couple things> They used the 96 version of the Pinnacle Fan Fest cards to do the tower
not the 97 version like yours. That was my first sign that this is fake and the top right corner
is not so round either.. Yes this was done at the 97 Fan Fest but they used the 96 or the
year before design...
IK I have heard there are fakes. I have never seen or held a fake or a real card either.
I was told if it's not an exact replica of a playing card then its a fake. Heck I would
like either of Griffey..
I have never seen a Griffey sample set. For the longest time I thought
it was just one of those cards that didn't exist like the 93 Donruss Triple Play Preview.
It exists I guess, but not with the word PREVIEW is not on there anywhere..
Yes there are fakes if its not a playing card weight and type then its fake.
Brian Berg built huge creations with these cards so it had to be the same
Sturdiness as a regular playing card.
Brian
Does the 97 Pinnacle Fan Fest Playing Card actually feel and have the weight of a playing card?
I guess there are some fakes so if its not the weight and texture of an actual playing card it could be a fake?
That would be cool! I remember playing Dek Hockey in Leominster Ma against Jarade Skalde.
He played for the Devils and he was nasty at Dek. It wasn't even fair... lol
I love that 1000 point Power Up card you won from buttercontrol.. The last year
has been great as Dave sold his collection off. I thought he was done but last week
he had another nice run of cards. So many great cards sold off into the hobby..
Nice haul! I will offer you 10 bucks for the whole lot :lol: jk
I love that 97 Pinnacle Fanfest Playing card! Funny I contacted the
guy who does the card creations and asked if he had a picture of this
particular creation and they can't find anything? I find that odd its not
like it was 1944...
Not much talk in the way of Griffey here. It was decent for awhile but
kind of fell off when he retired. Anywho I am up for Griffey card talk
all day everyday.
These very seldom show up on Ebay. Thats the first Bagwell I have seen
so I will be no help. There is a 92 Griffey on Ebay right now but like the
Nolan Ryan its priced no to sell..
I would be happy with a scan of both Griffeys for thepclist.com ...
I could not compete against the Griffey guys but would be happy with a scan.
Thanks
TNP it looks as if Upper Deck bought some factory sets to stamp these and like you
or someone said probably ran it through the process and...
Yeah I low balled on the Griffeys but was hoping for an offer back so its hard to get a feel as to what you want for them heck just list them here with what you want for them and you will have 3/4 of them sold by noon!The whole secret pm stuff is annoying at best just tell us what you want for...
