I will be liquidating my cards over the next few months so look out for lots, sets, and huge lots all cards will be listed in the lots unless it's factory sealed box. If you have any question feel free to ask. 1996 Pinnacle Aficionado was a 200-card set released in August 1996.
The set was produced for "fans with a passion for the game" and marketed as a "premium" release, but only lasted for a single year. All base cards featured a sepia-toned player photo, a wood grain-type background for the gold foil nameplate, and a player portrait that utilized what Pinnacle dubbed as "Heliogram" printing (spot holographic foil with black ink) on a 24-point thick cardstock. This thick card stock combined with the black finish on the card backs resulted in a very condition sensitive set. Further, all base cards except for the Global Reach subset, were printed in landscape orientation. 17 Paul O'Neill x3. 156 Chan Ho Park x1.172 Mike Grace RC x8. 180 Wilton Guerrero RC x6. 183 Osvaldo Fernandez RC x6. 184 Matt Lawton RC x5.
