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 13 OF 24: Austin, Mark’s Pen, and JHN
OVERVIEW: Well, it had to happen sooner-or-later—the first really bad picture I took from this set. Please note that cards are not actually this blurry in real life. I guess I just got distracted by the greatness of Corey LaJoie.
SPECIAL SPECIAL: The back of Rusty Wallace’s ICONS card details his exploits in the Blue Max car, conveniently leaving out how he wasn’t being paid on time and how he took sponsor Miller with him, essentially shutting the team down when he left.
IN FOCUS: “Epic Swag”. I never heard about this, but its a pretty cool story.
SPOTLIGHT: And here’s an autograph! Mark Martin’s John Hancock appears on the front, while a story about his near-miss in the championship points appears on the back. No, not that one, the other one. No—the other OTHER one.
SCORE: 9 better photographers out of 10
