NHL 1996/97 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle - No 1 of 10 - Wayne Gretzky

This 250-card set was distributed in 10-card packs. The set featured color action player photos with player statistics and included a rookie subset plus three numerical checklist cards. Rookies of note include Ethan Moreau and Kevin Hodson.

Randomly inserted in packs at a rate of 1:90 hobby packs and 1:127 magazine packs, this 10-card set featured a double-front card design which showcased top players by position from both the Eastern and Western Conferences, back to back. One player from each conference was displayed on opposite sides of the cards, with one side also being enhanced with Dufex technology. Although a small premium might be attached to the card depending upon which side was Dufexed, this premium was not universally applied.
