It's not a situation where only 77 of the card were made.

I have heard there are less than 500 of the silver Promos made. I know 8 people looking for this card I have and 2 who own it myself and another guy. If you look in my buckett I have all 4 of these types of cards with the 2 Promo and 2 that came out of the set. RE: New Derek Jeter card recieved 1996 Leaf Preferred Steel Promos #40 - supergwynn - 01-09-2012 What about the Bronze Promo? Have you seen one?

There is none that I know of I believe they made only 2 which was the steel and the steel gold. Here is what I read on a site. Although prepared & first displayed Tuesday June 26, 1996 at the Donruss Corporate booth at the 1996 Anaheim National (NSCC) Convention, Pinnacle opted to distribute ONLY the "GOLD" Promos (GOLD's then and now .. have always been quite hard to find, and in high demand!) through their distributors & brokers network (to dealers) on Friday August 2, 1996 .. retaining the "SILVER" Promos for internal use only (& possibly only for Pinnacle execs, a secret "little detail" not known until years later!) . Until very recently, just a couple examples of these SILVER Promos managed to find their way into the hobby .. and thus, not only was the general public unaware of the existance of these SILVER Promos, they also were never catalogued in any sportscard price guide. Why didn't Pinnacle release BOTH sets, which would NOW be the typical thing to do? Some background is in order .. Pinnacle had just acquired Donruss/Leaf in late-1995, and was operating Donruss separate from Pinnacle operations. Donruss traditionally created promo card sets with twelve cards or less, while Pinnacle was on the cutting edge trying all kinds of new promotional methods & products, never before tested in the sportscard hobby. So when Pinnacle launched one of their brand new test products .. Leaf Preferred (a one year product, with six card packs retailing for $3.49) . As Pinnacle aimed for a brand new quality image, the "GOLD" STEEL promos were selected for the promotional splash, with an unprecented 77 different promo card set! Talk about creating a BIG hobby buzz .. and .. HUGE promo card chase!

I am not sure about Bronze. I know they didn't even do Bronze in the regular set, but I wouldn't put it past them to try it out in their promos. I think I have seen one other (McGwire?) besides this from a Clemens collector: *edited to show difference w/ Gwynns** RE: New Derek Jeter card recieved 1996 Leaf Preferred Steel Promos #40 - chads-cards - 01-09-2012 Were these given out to dealers? I know we get tons of PROMO stuff. If so we may have got one back in the day RE: New Derek Jeter card recieved 1996 Leaf Preferred Steel Promos #40 - supergwynn - 01-10-2012 (01-09-2012, 02:47 AM)chads-cards Wrote: Were these given out to dealers?

RE: New Derek Jeter card recieved 1996 Leaf Preferred Steel Promos #40 - Jakelovescards - 01-10-2012 Wow what a read, thanks for all the info. I have a couple of the steel cards myself, no promo sticker so they must be part of the set. I always wondered about these cards. |
