Continuing a tradition of limited esteem, Spade Racing bought, unboxed, and unpacked a sealed box of 2020 Donruss (Panini) Nascar trading cards. Join us as we go through each eight-card pack to find the good, the bad, and the downright weird.
PACK 9—Three of 43 and Panini on Panini
Not one, not two, but three Bubba Wallace cards here—two of which have him in the exact same post. The young guns get some love in this pack with a single retired driver (Kenseth), a welcome change from the Dale Jarrett & Danica onslaught so far.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Bubba Wallace gets the portrait treatment whilst doing the Bill Clinton lip-bite for some reason. “I did not splash water in that driver’s face, Mr. Bowman”.
SECOND LOOK: This is as good a time as any to remind you that I took pottery as my art elective instead of photography in high school.
TO THE BACK: Panini doing a card on a Panini-sponsored driver? How very Nascar on Fox of them.
FINAL SCORE: 5 synergistic marketing plans out of 10
