1996 Select Certified is a 144-card, hobby only, set released by Pinnacle Brands in the summer of 1996.

'96 Select Certified contained a staggering (for the time) six levels of parallels, and was one of the first sets that allowed individual player collectors to [[Rainbow|"chase the rainbow."]]
'96 Select Certified also redefined the standard for rarity for subsequent baseball card sets - up to the time this set was released, only a handful of inserts/parallels had either announced print runs or serial-numbering, which ranged from the high hundreds to high thousands.  However, '96 Select Certified pushed the envelope by limiting the number of boxes distributed ''and'' drastically limiting the availability of all parallels, especially its Mirror parallels, which successfully contributed to establishment of the brand as a super-premium one, as intended [[1995 Select Certified|a year prior]].  As a result, this set could be viewed as the impetus for the low serial numbering/print run craze that soon followed and harmoniously coincided with the "Insert Mania" wave of the mid-to-late 1990s that gave rise to cards numbered to ten, five, or one (e.g., [[1997_Flair_Showcase#Masterpiece|Flair Masterpieces]]).

Description

1996 Select Certified was a 144-card hobby-only set released by Pinnacle Brands in the summer of 1996. This set contained a staggering (for the time) six levels of parallels and was one of the first sets that allowed individual player collectors to "chase the rainbow".

'96 Select Certified also redefined the standard for rarity for subsequent baseball card sets - up to the time this set was released, only a handful of inserts/parallels had either announced print runs or serial-numbering, which ranged from the high hundreds to high thousands. However, '96 Select Certified pushed the envelope by limiting the number of boxes distributed and drastically limiting the availability of all parallels, especially its Mirror parallels, which successfully contributed to establishment of the brand as a super-premium one, as intended a year prior. As a result, this set could be viewed as the impetus for the low serial numbering/print run craze that soon followed and harmoniously coincided with the "Insert Mania" wave of the mid-to-late 1990s that gave rise to cards numbered to ten, five, or one (e.g., Flair Masterpieces).

Distribution

20 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $4.99).

Based on the insertion odds for the Mirror parallels, there were a total of 64,800 boxes distributed.
