Panini comes out every year with a “super premium” series of Nascar cards, chock full of memorabilia pieces, autographs, and rookie cards. This year its the Chronicles Series. Join me as we unbox, unwrap, and unpack six “Blaster Boxes” worth of cards!
PACK 13—Gator, a Crusader, and Changes for Later
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Four of the five drivers here will not be in these rides in 2021, a reminder of just how quickly things change in Nascar (especially with a card company’s long lead times). But it IS a good capture of the 2020 season—well, the first few weeks of it.
TO THE BACK: I can’t figure out what the 2019 championship race has to do with a crusade. Maybe Rowdy spent the offseason trying to conquer the holy land for the Pope?
FINAL SCORE: 7 pit stalls out of 10.
