| Both Blaster Boxes |
After unboxing and unwrapping a box of 2020 Donruss (Panini) Nascar trading cards, I decided to keep going. Now we dive into two “Blaster Boxes”—small boxes of 7 packs each. Join us as we go through each eight-card pack to find the good, the bad, and the downright weird.
PACK 25—Orange, Seig…uh…ah Dammit
Our first look at a pack from one of the two “Blaster Boxes”, aka Those Things For Sale On That Display By The Registers At Target. Its not the most auspicious debut, but we DO get three former champions, ironically including two who spent some time irritating Roger Penske.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: The “Blaster Boxes” have Blaster-exclusive orange parallels, shown here with Chris Buescher. So by MY count that means we have Optics, Border Variants (black instead of gray, gray instead of white), Red, Blue and Purple variants, with another one to come. And people wonder why people don’t collect cards to “collect em all” anymore.
SECOND LOOK: Why look, it’s Nascar’s Official Underdog of the Xfinity Series! And is it just me or does “Larry’s Hard Lemonade” sound a little creepy?
TO THE BACK: Rusty Wallace managed to enter the top-ten all-time for top-five race finishes, mitigated somewhat by the fact that he did so in Delaware.
FINAL SCORE: 4 quarts of oil out of 10
