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 37—Repeats after Repeats after Repeats
Obviously there’s going to be plenty of repetition now that we’re into the 37th pack, but getting essentially the same exact Race Day Relic (an Aric Almirola tire) is pretty strange. There’s also MORE focus on Jesse Little and more Ryan Newman Oscar Mayer cards.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Daniel Hemric had a decent if not spectacular rookie season. But Tyler Reddick brought funding so off ya go, Danny.
SECOND LOOK: William Byron could definitely be considered “New Age”, although its pretty funny considering his two major sponsors are a paint company stretching back over 100 years and one of the most-conservative colleges in the world.
TO THE BACK: Here’s the back of the Race Day Relics card. Nice design and all, but still—how’d I get two of essentially the same exact thing in the two Blaster Boxes?
FINAL SCORE: 5 repeat winners out of 10
