| 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. |
