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 22—More Ray, McDowell in Gray, and The King Back in the Day
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Always cool to get a Richard Petty card, but they are somewhat limited by photographic availability in what they can choose—I’d imagine its hard to find a high-res picture of him from the 1960’s. Although they could probably just put one in the Pedal to the Metal series—are you listening, Panini? This is gold here!
TO THE BACK: On the one hand Nascar is the only sport (besides horse racing) where 6’1’’ is “tall”. On the other hand, he’s still got height on me.
FINAL SCORE: 7 helmets out of 10.
