Year: 1999

Set: Pacific Revolution - Foul Pole (Rate)

“ I miss Pacific! ” -trauty

“ Man Pacific had some innovative card designs. Wish other companies nowadays (looking at you Topps) would think outside the box sometimes. ” -rmpaq5

“ Who else thinks Bernie should have received more HOF support? Even though the Yankees teams were otherwise loaded, I don't know if they win as many WS as they did without him. Don't like the Yankees but have never disliked Bernie. ” -Brimose

“ This would be cool if it was actually part of a foul pole but it's just a fabricated net. ” -carthage44

“ Bernie looks to be in a state of con-fusion on the back. ” -sahal694

“ Way too busy for me. The net just adds to the confusion. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ I'm not sure what I'm seeing here...is this a net relic or just designed to look like a net? ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Another coincidence card? Comments open on Bernie's birthday! Nice. ” -dsorek

“ Neat, first card I've ever seen with its own air conditioner. ” -NJDevils

“ Well, 1999 was a really great year to be a collector, both Football, and Baseball card manufacturers started releasing these beautiful cards. Absolute and Pacific Revolution was two of my favorite Sports Card Issues and 1999 Pacific Revolution was a must have for any collector. I really miss those Pacific brands because they released some very rare cards. I still have one of the Rarest Michael Vick Re Cards ever made. The 2001 Vanguard #02/10! Now as for Berne Williams never was a big fan. just one of those I never got into. I did love this set and I have three of them, ” -The House Of Cards

“ This would have been better for hockey IMO. I don't think of nets when I think of a foul pole, I think of a metal screen. ” -rmitchell6700

“ Huh? What? Here's a thought, Pacific--save some us all some money and make this card 60% of the normal width. Or even better, give us photos that are 40% bigger than these are. ” -kents_stuff

“ It's cool, but a lot of wasted space. ” -muskie027

Pacific had a lot of great designs over the years. IMO, this isn't one of them!

Yes Billy it is just designed to look like the foul pole. No relic. That would be something a relic of something from a stadium still in use. Hehe.

Thanks Kirk. It has been done, as they replace parts regularly.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

The base set of Revolution is a bit too shinny and tacky for my tastes. The Foul Pole set although an interesting idea is a bit too odd even for my oddball tastes.

I few years back i was in a group box break from a blogger who busted this and 2 other sets from the same year or close one was 2004 Leather and Lumber set the other was another pacific product that was simlar. I think I had 4 teams (2 bought and 2 random) I claimed the Orioles and Expos/Nationals Franchise (it was all pre-2005 products so no Nationals just Expos) my random teams were Mets and Padres. I got the Tony Gwynn Foul Pole card.

No. this is a horrible card. They put a weird net/foul pole thing on 40% of the card -- front AND back, with no tie-in and no explanation? It's not a relic. It's not about baseballs hit that came close to the foul pole. And it doesn't look good. I mean, it's "innovative." But I could "innovate" all sorts of bad designs. Yick. v3
