Barry Larkin Collection 1,087: 1996 Pacific Prism - #16

Barry Larkin
Year:  1996
Brand:  Pacific Prism
Card number:  P-16


It wouldn't be long before Pacific pumped Prism full of parallels, but in 1996, Prism was relatively tame in that it only had one parallel (Gold) to go along with the silver base cards.  As you'd expect from the set name, the Prism base design contains plenty of sparkly foil.  I do wish the player's name were a bit easier to read, but otherwise, it's a fun design.  The card back isn't anything to write home about, but at least Pacific used a different photo than what was on the front of the card.  I suppose it's hard to make a super informative card back when you have to have all text in two different languages (English and Spanish for Pacific).

Finally, for those that might be wondering, I am still searching for that Gold parallel of Barry's from the 1996 Prism set!
