   Base Card Scans

Comments:

The base cards have simple and easy on the eye design with portrait and action shots. On the front of the cards is a picture of the driver with their car number down in the corner. The lettering is done in gold and lets you know what series they drive in. On the back of the card is the drivers stats from the previous year. Letting us know where they started and finished in each race they ran. The base cards also show us some of the great highlights from last year.


   Insert Scans


Comments:

Press Pass goes all out with their insert design. I find that the inserts are very appealing. Some have a nice high gloss that blends well with the cards and some have a dull finish on the border that makes the picture stand out. Very well done. We also got a Cup Chase redemption. If the driver on the card makes it to the Chase for the Cup you mail it in and regeive a prize set of the drivers who are in the Chase.

The parallels are the same as the base cards. The difference between the two is that the parallel set has a dull finish and are numbered to a 100. Really like the dull finish on the cards. You really don't see that to often and I think it just looks great.



   The Final Verdict!

I gave this product four out of five HI Fives. The base set is to 120 so can easily put together. Really enjoy the inserts and parallels. SRP is 2.99 per pack Hobby and 2.99 Retail. In a hobby box you will get 6 cards per pack with 28 packs and in a retail box you will get 6 cards per pack and 24 packs per box. We met all the odds inpulling the inserts and parallels.
