This was pretty cool - decided I had to have it... 1997 Pinnacle Inside "Season Opener" Promo Kit with original packaging. Don't know how common they are, but couldn't find another one to compare prices.

Never seen this before, but it's awesome!

[MENTION=1845]gracecollector[/MENTION] - Dude, that's pretty cool! When were they handed out or what's the back story? It's a pretty cool idea and I'm guessing every player had one? Pretty neat item... hopefully it didn't cost you an arm and a leg.

That is cool. Never seen or heard of one before. Ah cards in a can. I'm regretting not buying more pinnacle inside when I found a bunch cheap. Best card I ever pulled was the Ripken/Arod dueling dugouts.

Just a promo kit given to Pinnacle dealers. Ryan Klesko was a hot rookie, and he was the cover boy for this product - so no other players. I thought it was worth $25 delivered ($17 + $8 shipping).
I had seen the can-shaped promotional flyer at this year's National. I know there are some players' cards pictured on the inside of it, but don't remember who. Have to wait to it arrives. Wish the can opener was marked somehow, but doesn't appear to be. I'll take better pictures when it's in hand.

It's pretty cool no matter what... how the hell did you find it on eBay? Just an oddball item and not sure it'd show up in any of my searches unless Belle was pictured :lol:

Sometimes I search for "Pinnacle Bankruptcy" and "Pinnacle Promo" - I think it was a hit on Pinnacle Promo. Wasn't looking for it specifically.

I'd pay $25 for that in a heartbeat. Great pickup and awesome relic of the odd state of the industry that was the late 90s 
I've seen one of these before and I think the can opener had something written on it. I could be mistaken though.

Excellent pick up! I almost hit the trigger on that with my eBay bucks, then I asked myself, what am I going to do with it and stopped! A cool piece for sure.

When I'm a homeless hobo from spending too much on this hobby, at least I'll be able to open my can of baked beans.
It had the Pinnacle Inside logo on it. I know this well because when I moved to Toledo for college in 1997, the shop owner gave it to me as a gag gift going away present. Used that can opener all throughout my 5 years of pharmacy school before it finally rusted

That's great. Good school. I have a few buddies who all went there for Pharmacy school but graduated much later than you, probably like 2009 range.

Cool - does the one in the box look like the one you had? Definitely hope it has a logo on it.
