1996 Pinnacle was issued across two separate series of 200 cards each, and in 10-card packs with a then SRP of $2.49/ea. A foil version of series two was made available in 5-card retail super packs with an SRP of $2.99/ea. The 300 subset was produced to mirror the player’s batting averages. Because both Paul Molitor and Jeff Bagwell had .305 career batting averages at the time, they’re both assigned to card #305. That said, while this makes the numbering stop at 399, it’s also why there are actually 400 cards in the base set. A special Cal Ripken Jr. Tribute card was inserted at a rate of 1:150 series one packs and while it’s stated as card #CR1, it does not contain a card number.
