NHL 1996/97 Be A Player Autographs - No 148 - Lyle Odelein

This 220-card set was issued by Pinnacle in two series and was distributed in eight-card packs. For the first time, the series was licensed by the NHL, as well as the NHLPA, and thus the players were allowed to be seen in their own uniforms. Promotional cards were issued to dealers in six-card and two-card packs. These cards mirror those in the regular set save for the addition of the word PROMO written on the card back. The numbering, however, is the same as the base cards. The P prefix has been added for checklist purposes only.

These autographs were inserted one per pack. Gold foils distinguish them from base cards. Alexei Zhamnov did not sign, and thus the set is considered complete at 219 cards. A silver parallel version of the autograph set existed as well. The cards were distinguishable by the silver foil backing on the card fronts. Although no odds were published, these cards were inserted at a rate of about 1:30 packs.
