The football card from 1997 Pinnacle Inside #46 Kent Graham. On the back for his hometown it reads 'same as Chuck Long' was this intentional or something that someone was supposed to look up before typesetting?

Either a mistake or a "Pinnacle Inside" joke.

By looking at the other cards in the set and all the odd topics and tidbits, I'd say it was intentional. They were saying, "He's from the same hometown as Chuck Long". Card #40 has the same type of information; "Hometown: Same as Terry Bradshaw".

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Chris T. Jones high school is listed as "Same as Craig Erickson"
Winslow Oliver's Scouting Tip as "Think Dave Meggett" and Garrison Hearst's nickname as "Doobie" because his favorite cartoon is Scooby Doo (you're not fooling me Garrison).
I think they're just trying to be hip with the kids.

I've only a few cards from this set, so it would take a while to see that it was done on other cards. Thanks guys.

If only there was a web site with images of all the cards in the set so you could what was on them....

Ha ha ha. What I meant was having to click on each card would be very time consuming. I get your humor though!

I use the Gallery and look at ten at a time.
