1997 Pinnacle hobby box
Contents
Description
1997 Pinnacle is a 200-card, single-series, set released in February 1997. There were plans for a second series, but a Series Two was replaced by 1997 New Pinnacle. Because of this, many star players appear in the "Clout" subset, but not on a basic player card.
Distribution
Hobby/Retail: 24 packs per box, 10 cards per pack (MSRP: $2.49).
Magazine: 24 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $1.99)

Parallels
All 200 base cards are available in the following Dufex parallels.
- Museum Collection
- Artist's Proof
Following a similar structure to the 1996 Finest brand, the Artist's Proof parallel was "fractured" into three different groups of cards; 125 Bronze, 50 Silver and 25 Gold. The Gold cards are scarcest with an announced print run of only 300 (non serial-numbered) copies, and silver cards are scarcer than bronze cards. Each group of cards is easy to identify by their bold color-specific backgrounds (i.e. gold cards have gold backgrounds). All three groups share the same Artist's Proof logo on front.

Press Plate Previews
As a way to promote the new Press Plate concept, the actual plates used to print 1997 Pinnacle Baseball were distributed within sealed cases of 1997 New Pinnacle. The card backs contain a serial number, of which dealers were supposed to find a matching serial number on their actual cases. Dealers lucky enough to have been sent a matching plate/case would win a prize for their show.
Eight press plates for each card (four front plates and four back plates) were included for all 200 base cards plus all ten Shades inserts.
A total of 1680 Press Plates were distributed.
