This beauty is the Pinnacle of my 1997-98 cards

[56Parkies]

I've been searching for this card for the better part of 12 years -- it definitely counts as a "white whale" for me. After TurcoCollector35 pointed it out to me here, I badgered and cajoled PenaltyMan until he was kind enough to give in and give it up. With all the crazed Beezer collectors out there, I thought I'd never track one o' these down, but.....

Without further ado, I present the 1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle Vanbiesbrouck/Osgood parallel/refractor:

This beauty finishes off my 1997-98 Osgood cards, and they look pretty sweet all together:

Thanks for the peek, and especial big thumbs up to both PenaltyMan and TurcoCollector35!!!

Congrats on a nice pickup. Always good to land a super tough insert like that one.

Thanks to everyone for the comments!

Wes: You DEFINITELY the man.. I was resigned to having to pester you for a year or so before you gave in. Glad you were kind enough to spare me that trouble! LOL

Still got a few more years where I only need one or two cards.. If anyone knows where I can find a 1996-97 Pinnacle Mint Silver coin (not the nickel ones) of Osgood, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks again! Glad to see there are some people who appreciate the shinies from the 90s!

After 12 years of hunting I would consider it a whale too. Congrats on adding it to the PC.
