Base Card Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
The base cards
have simple and easy on the eye design with portrait
shots. These cards give you last years review and a
preview on this upcoming season. On the back of the
cards it gives us a fact on the driver. Great design
on the cards.

Insert Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
Press Pass goes
all out with their insert design. I find that the inserts
are very appealing. They have a nice high gloss that
blends well with the cards. There are four sets of inserts
and should be fun to put together. Very well done. We
also got a Daytona 2006 Contest Entry Card. Send this
card in and try for a chance to win a one-of-a-kind
signed helmet and flag from Daytona Speedweekssigned
by top drivers.
The parallels (MPH) are just about the same as the base
cards. The difference between the two is that the parallel
set lettering is done in gold numbered to a 100.

Race Used Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
We also pulled
a race used out of the box. This was alot of fun opening.
We pulled this Tony Stewart race used flag. I personally
think that this is a great looking card. Really is nice
to look at and even a plus win you pull a race used
card of the Nextel Champion.

|
|
| Comments:
We were very
pleased to pull an autograph out of the box. These cards
have a basic design with an on the card signature which
is great.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|

|
| I
gave this product four and half out of five HI Fives.
The base set is to 90 so can easily put together. Really
enjoy the inserts and parallels. SRP is 3.99 per pack
Hobby and 2.99 Retail. In a hobby box you will get 5 cards
per pack with 20 packs and in a retail box you will get
4 cards per pack and 24 packs per box. We met all the
odds inpulling the inserts and parallels and even did
better than the odds by pulling a auto and race used in
the same box. |
