Set of the Month

1997 New Pinnacle was a 200-card, single-series set released in June 1997. Rather than issue a second series of 1997 Pinnacle, the parent company decided to release an entirely new set, complete with a new checklist, design, and inserts. Each base card featured a borderless color photo, gold foil accents, a team-colored nameplate, and a holographic window behind the nameplate.

While the product was not as well received as expected, the release was notable for making press plates available to the Hobby for the first time.
