Card Identification Forum

Thier is 5 cards in this set. The cards are 5x7. ( 1-5 Jeff Gordon 2-5 Dale earnhardt 3-5 Robby Gordon 4-5 Terry Labonte                     5-5 Ricky Craven )

In 1997 Action Packed Chevy Madness--This 6-card set is actually beginning of a 15-card set that was distributed in  1997   PINNACLE ( 13-15) and 1997 Racer's Choice (7-12). The cards features the top chevy drivers from the Winston Cup Series. The cards were randomly inserted into Hobby Packs and Retail Packs

Now my question is. In 1997 Racer's Choice Chevy Madness is thier 6 cards in the set. As you see above i have 1 thru 5. What i know Jeff Green is missing?                 Is these cards just a bad set of what i have above??

I'll have to do some checking around to be sure, but it looks like the regular Chevy Madness set consisted of 15 regular sized cards inserted across the three products (Action Packed, Racer's Choice, and Pinnacle).  This card appears to be from another 5-card set of oversized versions.

Thanks. Let me know what you find. I will too be checking for more Info.

Definitely not the base card. That is normal size and has a grayish foil background. I've never heard of an oversized version before.

Hi David-

I have confirmed your observations via information from another long-time collector.  I have added the set HERE.  It is ready for your scans!

Upper Deck was doing a lot in that timeframe with box toppers that were not well documented.  I suspect that is what these are.  I need to do some more asking around to be sure before I commit any info to the release notes.

Hi Lea DeFoote..

Have looked up some pictures of these cards. So far what i have come across is the 5 cards i have is from a retail ( not hobby ).

All the other cards i have seen the numbers on the back are the same from ( Action Packed - Racer Choice & Pinnacle ) These might be from Hobby 

Action Packed # 1 thru 6

Racer Choice # 7 thru 12

Pinnacle        # 13 thru 15

Can't find any more cards from the one's that i have. The one's that i see are from ( 1 thru 5 ) and no more after that. The rest of the cards should be numbered ( 6 thru 15 ) ????

David-

There are only five cards total in the 5" x 7" set.  The scans you posted at the top of this thread belong to this card.  It would make sense for them to be from Retail.  I know of at least one set of oversized cards that were specific to boxes sold at Wal-Mart.  I guess that is how Pinnacle made Wal-Mart feel that they were getting a special product.

These cards:

Action Packed # 1 thru 6

Racer Choice # 7 thru 12

Pinnacle        # 13 thru 15

are standard sized and listed here, here & here.  I have already submitted an Innacuracies Report to have cards #6 and #10 removed from the Pinnacle set since they are already properly listed in the AP and RC sets respectively.

Good work Tom! I went ahead and added the teams for the oversized cards.
