. You may be familiar with the 1996 pinnacle fanfest card that was distributed at the 1996 all-star game show in philadelphia. This is similar but a like a playing card. At the all-star game show, they had a big enclosed steel cage. Kind of like a dog cage or a fence or like a cage in a wrestling match. Inside this cage, were some pinnacle employees. There job that weekend was to build big houses out of these cards. It was actually a pretty impressive sight to see. They really made some elaborate structures that were pretty high. Kind of like sand castles on the beach. When the houses got really huge, they would collapse. Every now and then, a few of these playing cards spilled on the floor outside the cage, near the cage close enough to pick up. Well, that is the only way these were ever obtained. The cards have show up periodically but were never released to the public in anyway. The back of the card has the pinnacle logo

No Griffeys or Frank Thomas' were harmed in the making of this production.
