Flashback: Pinnacle Inside Baseball

John Smoltz is the '97 version and Ripken Jr is '98

Gold Can Version of Vlad Guerrero

Each can came with a pack of cards inside. You would have to open the can like a can of soup. Each pack came with roughly 5 cards and cans ran around $2.99 at that time. There were randomly inserted autograph cards, inserts and more.

This was one innovation I loved and I wished could be brought back. The first year they came out, I collected every can from the set. The '98 set I could not put together.But I did managed to find a Gold can that were randomly inserted and hard to find. I still own 4 cans that are not opened. Sometimes the temptation is there....but don't think I will ever do it.

Do any of you own these unique items? Do you wish they could come back? Do you wish companies had the same kind of innovations now?

FLASHBACK CARD........

FLASHBACK CARD........

Once in awhile I will post a flashback card that brings me back to my first years of collecting....these may be things that you own, have seen or forgotten about.

Anyone remember these? Topps Action Flats. One card and one figure per pack/box. There were only 6 star players made including Brett Favre, Barry Sanders and Troy Aikman and 2 rookies in Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf. This is the only one I own and the store I bought it at only had 2 options which were the 2 rookies. I would say I made the right choice in the rookie I chose.
