I have always been confused by this set. Can anyone tell me which version this is. Thanks, Mike

Mike, I didn't collect that year (during my 5 year collecting hiatus) but it looks to me to be the white front version... there is two versions, right?

It is from 97/98 Pinnacle and it does in fact look to be the Refractor "Mirror" Parallel. There are also two variations of the card, one with the holographic part on the front and one on the back. If you are coinciding with Beckett, this would be the 1997/98 Pinnacle Mirror Team Pinnacle "parallel" (since the back of the card has the holographic material. Hope that helps =)

Jeff, Just to be sure, which version do you think this is?:

1. 1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle

2. 1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle Mirror

3. 1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle Parallel

4. 1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle Parallel Mirror

And, what would the print run or odds be? Mike

2 and 4 are basically the same card, just depends on which side of the card the mirror happens to be I think.

There are 5 total cards you would need from that set.

1. Regular card
2. Team Pinnacle Parallel, glossy on Leetch Side
3. Team Pinnacle Parallel, glossy on Chelios Side
4. Team Pinnacle Mirror, refracted on Leetch side
5. Team Pinnacle Mirror, refracted on Chelios side

You seem to have #5 there. Hope that helps.

I thin it is #4. I do not believe there are 5 versions, only 4, but correct me if I am incorrect. Mike, do you have other copies of these cards in your PC, because whe you see them in person, it is very easy to tell. I have also heard that there were only 20 made, but I think a lot more were back-doored, killing the value.

OK, Now I think my head is gonna

Mike, in my opinion, the card listed is this one:

4. 1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle Parallel Mirror

And there are only 4 versions of each Team Pinnacle, not 5, just the way you listed them. The way I see it, the one with the silver foil on the Leetch-side (front of the card) is the Team Pinnacle, and if the foil is on the other side (Chelios), then it's the Team Pinnacle Parallel. At least that's the way I see it.

Grabbed myself a Tkachuk/Jagr Mirror Parallel just the other day too.
