1998 Pinnacle Baseball Forum

Beckett is once again causing me some confusion - it's related to these inserts so I thought I'd piggyback off the thread here. For each player, are there four or five Epix parallels (for each color)?

I assumed there was one of each for Play, Moment, Game, and Season. But Beckett has two listed for Moment - one that is just a "regular" Moment card, which I've never actually seen anywhere. And then a separate listing for the "All-Star" Epix Moment cards, which are the only ones I have seen. Does the first version exist and it's just rare (I know Pinnacle was going out of business around this time so I figure it's possible)?

Thanks!

There are 2 distinct sets wit hthe Epix theeme. The All-Star can be found in Score R/T and Pinnacle Plus. The "first" you mention does exist across 4 different sets. The only caveat is that those that were supposed to be released with Pinnacle Certified never got released as that was when Pinnacle went under. A couple years ago we went through an overhaul of these sets to ensure they are reflected accurately in here.

Thank you!  That is super helpful. I'm glad I asked - I can't believe that set actually exists, at least for Tony Gwynn - I've never seen one of his listed anywhere in my life. But it's good to know they're real.

Thanks again!

I fixed all these last summer. Check out the Release Notes on each Epix Emerald, Epix Orange and Epix Purple.

Here's the Emerald:

1998 Pinnacle Epix Emerald

1998 Score Epix Emerald

1998 Zenith Epix Emerald

1998 Pinnacle Certified Test Issue Epix Emerald

This and the other link are being added to my bookmarks immediately - since I know I'll forget in a couple months.  Thanks all!

The Test Issue was backdoored wasn't it?

Yup, which is why it's noted as "Test Issue" and the release notes mention aftermarket.

Fair enough, though I thought we didn't list backdoor items. 98 Select for example

There was discussion about it last year and the sets were allowed to stay.

Missed that. Thanks
