Year: 1993
Set: Pinnacle (Rate)
Card: #349 Eric Dickerson
“ Wait...Eric Dickerson played for the Raiders at one point? I have no memories of this and just minutes ago I finished watching the show "Timeless" on Netflix. Paranoia kicking in. ” -rmpaq5
“ I loved the '93 Pinnacle cards in MLB and NFL when they first came out. Great photography, nice design and tons of info on them. But they didn't hold up to time well. The black borders chip and fray easily. Nothing else bad to say about these cards. More stat-lines on the back would have been nice, but it would have taken away so much info from them. ” -spazmatastic
“ One of my favorite sets. A very simple design with great photography. The cards are stunning if the black borders are clean. Although the stats on back are lacking, the head shots are great. ” -Big Ray
“ Love this set in baseball. A bit annoyed now to see that they used the same layout for the football set as well. I think it is lazy to have the same exact layout across multiple sports. ” -davidhandberry
“ Great back, terrible sideline reporter. I heard a joke once that Dickerson never met a sideline he didn't like (a jab at his propensity to avoid taking hits) until he was assigned there as a reporter. ” -Brimose
“ Not bad for a pinnacle ” -parsley24
“ A great player, but I've never been a fan of Pinnacle. ” -Jd_sports
“ I took a 12 year hiatus from collecting, and it was this set that caused me to do it. I paid (at that time) a lot of money for a box, and it had none of the 'guaranteed' inserts or special cards...nothing but commons. I didn't like the changes in the hobby at the time, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Luckily I came back years later, but I still don't buy boxes unless it's a cheap blaster. ” -DocOso
“ Solid card. ” -cjjt
“ Man o Man Mr. Dickerson will ALWAYS be a RAM in my eyes. and this 1992, er 1993 Pinnacle card if I don't already have I should cause he is one of my PC HOF guys. BTW I have always had a love/hate about the black bordered 1992 and '93 Pinnacle sets. Backs put too much emphasis on the profile photo and limit stats to one year. ” -captkirk42
“ I did not remember that Dickerson ever played for the Raiders. Also played 4 games for the Falcons. ” -vanstryland
“ For some strange reason I liked these. ” -NJDevils
“ TIL Dickerson was on the Raiders. ” -royals
“ I forgot he played for Oakland. I like Pinnacle's initial year. Not this one so much. ” -muskie027
