Opening a Sealed Box of 2019 Donruss Racing Cards PACK 12


Recently I got a sealed box of 2019 Donruss Racing Cards—24 packs, 8 cards per pack.  Join me as I go through the entire case, pack-by-pack, to see what awaited me. (Click any picture to enlarge)

PACK 12 OF 24: A Driver Who’s Happy, some Timing that’s Crappy, and Junior Looks Snappy

OVERVIEW: Ryan Reed gets a card here, this despite the fact that his career appears to be over (as is his sponsor’s involvement in Nascar).  Ryan Blaney, meanwhile, gets a card that’s limited to 199 for…some reason, it isn’t really made clear.

SPECIAL SPECIAL: So they call Kevin Harvick “Happy” on a card where he looks depressed as anything.  Then on the back they talk about his smiley-face pltboard.  But that’s not pictured on the front.  Maybe you discontinue the nicknames in 2020, Donruss.

IN FOCUS: So Chase Elliott likes “Wedding Crashers”, that’s cool.  But why does he get a “Binge-Watch” logo on a 1980’s TV?  How do you binge-watch a movie?  Is Chase like John Hinckley and “Taxi Driver”?

SPOTLIGHT: Dale Jr. looks dapper in his RACE KINGS card, although his posture leaves a little bit to be desired.

SCORE: 5 hero cards out of 10
