Card Number 960: Pacific Prisms, 1996; #P-61
Unusually for Pacific, this set doesn't have the set name on it, just the Crown Collection logo. These cards were sold in packs of 2 - one Prism and a bonus card.
The foil effect looks like the card has been clawed by a big cat. It's an eye-catching design that looks very different to Prism cards released in other years.
The cardback is bilingual because Pacific specifically targeted the Spanish-speaking market.
There's no real reason for the card number to have a P in front of it. All the other cards shipped with Prism cards had different letter codes in front of the numbers depending what small set they were from. Having a P in front of the numbers on the main cards in the set makes is feel like a whole set made up of inserts!
It must have been challenging to build sets like these... one card at a time. Reminds me of Upper Deck and their SPx cards from the same era.
