10 can 1998 Pinnacle Inside break- pictures & MOJO

So we're packing up a large chunk of our house in preparation to sell it. I was going through a bunch of stuff in the hallway closet and found a box of stuff I'd forgotten about. Inside were these unsearched gems:

Cool! I bet there's some really cool stuff in here. Let's have a look!

    10th can revealed a golden tone to the lid after I took it off. I'd have a picture of the golden lid, but I threw it in the trash and didn't feel like digging down to the garbage juice to retrieve it. Y'all will have to take my word for it. Anywho, I knew that some serious MOJO was waiting.

    yeah, that's right - gaze in awe at the shiny rainbowy die-cut glory that is JOSE CRUZ JR.

    That doesn't encourage me to open the dozen plus McGwire cans I have.

    So I pretty much understand why I was able to buy this crap in '05 for $0.79 a can. Pretty much underwhelming.

    Remember the old Heinz Catsup commercial where the guy was sitting at a table with the catsup bottle in a pouring position. While he waited for the catsup to come out a song was playing in the background, "Anticipation."

    Weren't they fun to open and the anticpation of what you might find?

    Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.
  • The cans are nice collectibles... For $0.79 it really is not too bad. I am right now looking at a Derek Jeter can it is now in use and has been holding my pencils and pens on my computer desk. I opened this can back when I was in the second grade!

    They're fun until someone loses a finger trying to open the can, or digging a gold lid out of the recycling bin.

    Cool Geordie...

    I remember opening a can that I picked up at the Px - don't remember anything about the set.

    Any chance you got any Ron Gant or Bernie Williams inserts? Those have been tough to find for my player collections.

    I will always fondly remember the late 90's when a glut of products competing for collector's coin brought phenomenal innovation to the hobby... game used gear and autographs became a requirement for any product.

    Die-cuts, sequentially numbered inserts culminating with 1/1 cards, sometimes overwhelming arrays of parallels, acetate cards, lenticular motion cards, and other new offerings as companies escalated the card wars.

    As a player collector at the time, I loved products like Pinnacle Inside Cans, Pinnacle Mint Coins, and Donruss Preferred Tins because they were easier to display than cards resigned hidden away in albums or monster boxes.

    I don't know if it is lack of competition, lack of collector interest, or if everything has been done already... but it seems the past few years there has been little in the way of innovation.

    As I get closer to finishing up some of my graded vintage sets and additions get fewer and farther between, I have been having a blast putting together some of my favorite insert & parallel sets from this era.

    Cool! Somehow I missed that they put cards in cans! I probably would've stocked up on the stuff, so it's better that I didn't know...

    Thanks for sharing something I've never seen before!

    I just checked - no cards of either one of them
