Year: 1997

Set: Pinnacle Certified (Rate)

Card: #114 Nomar Garciaparra


“ You think Topps Chrome is bad? These cards curled like nobody's business. A shame because I quite like the look of these cards. As far as Nomar, he was the best pure hitter of the sacred shortstop trio of that era (A-Rod, Jeter, Nomar). An electric player! ” -mkaz80

“ Nice looking card for a high end set. Front OK lookswise needs team name. The brand logo stamp should be much smaller and the player name should be easier to read. Script fonts look fancy but are often hard to read on cards. Back is OK. For rookies minor league or college stats would be nice. ” -captkirk42

“ To peel or NOT to peel is the question. ” -CardFlipper1974

“ Rookie Nomar? That's a neat one. ” -DarkSide830

“ Poor Nomar. Plays at a Hall of Fame level, but gets traded in 2004. Turns out, he was holding the Red Sox back from winning the World Series. ” -cjjt

“ Nice set. Looks 1000x nicer if you peel that dumb plastic off. I've peeled all mine. So much better. ” -switzr1

“ What's not to like, chrome looking with peel off scratch resistant plastic. [to peel or not to peel?] Rookie card of a real good player. Remember in 97 when the debate was: Who will have the best career between Nomar, Jeter and A-Rod? A few years later, all were looking good, and the question became: Will any of them surpass Cal Ripken? Big fan of 97 Pinnacle Certified and chasing the Mirror Red, Blue, Gold. Even a bigger fan of 97 Pinnacle Totally Certified, with all the base cards SN3999, and a Blue and Gold parallel. One of my all time favorite sets. Both sets have the same player check list, and back of cards are the same, but images on the front of the cards are different. ” -abide

“ I like the back, despite the lack of statistics. I reckon Pinnacle decided some of the umpteen competitor brands could cover stats and they'd do something different. But I like that design overall. The front is a bit hard to tell with the "peel off" array, but it seems a bit plain for my tastes. ” -kents_stuff

“ I like certified. I have no idea who this is. ” -dollar guy

“ PEEL IT OFF! PEEL IT OFF! PEEL IT OFF! Oh wait, this isn't a Benchwarmer card. KEEP IT ON! KEEP IT ON! KEEP IT ON! ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ Nomad was good, the card isn’t bad, but not a fan of the peel off stuff. ” -muskie027

“ I will never understand the purpose of those peek offs. Protection only? ” -hwi5wi

Why anyone would want a card with the words "Peel off" written across it repeatedly is beyond me. If I took a card and stamped that on it 20 times, I don't think it would get much of a grade....

But I do remember being pretty excited that the Cubs got Nomar. That dissipated pretty quickly....

All those peel offs are very distracting.
