1997 Select
Notes |
Distributed as Lo-Series (#1-150) and Hi-Series (#1-200). The 50 cards exclusive to Hi-Series (#151-200) were accidentally given the "Select Company" parallel stamping and the only way to distinguish them from the parallel is the silver background and finish. The base cards are smooth and frosted while the parallel cards have a textured "sunray" appearance.
Select - Artist's Proofs
Partial parallel, #1-150 only. Red foil inserted 1:71 packs and blue foil inserted 1:355 packs. Fronts have a bronze finish and an "Artist's Proof" foil stamp.
Select - Registered Gold
Partial parallel, #1-150 only. Red foil inserted 1:11 packs and blue foil inserted 1:47 packs. Fronts have a gold finish and a "Registered Gold" foil stamp.
Select - Rookie Autographs
Randomly inserted into Lo-Series packs, autographed base cards with "Authentic Signature" printed on the back. Print run of 2500 for #101 Jones, all others have print run of 3000
Select - Rookie Revolution
Inserted 1:56 packs. Cards are serial numbered on the back but print run was never provided by Pinnacle. Reportedly 0000-1500 were distributed in Lo-Series packs while 1501-2000 were distributed in Hi-Series packs.
Select - Samples
Cards have "SAMPLE" printed diagonally across the front and back
Select - Select Company
Inserted one per Hi-Series pack. Fronts have a silver "sunray" foil finish and a "Select Company" foil stamp. Hi-Series cards #151-200 look very similar to the uncorrected error base cards that were accidentally given the same stamping, but the finish on the base cards is more frosted than these.
Select - Select Company Samples
Fronts have a silver "sunray" foil finish and a "Select Company" foil stamp, and the backs have "SAMPLE" printed diagonally.
