   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.


   Autograph Scan

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.
