Spade Racing Opens Six “Fat Packs” of 2021 Donruss Nascar Cards, 1 of 6


Join us (well, me) as we/I continue going through 2021 Donruss Nascar Cards with six “Fat Packs”.



Fat Pack 1—Derrike Cope, Misplaced Hope, and I’m Kinda a Dope


FIRST LOOKS: Here we see Derrike Cope in all his glory.  You can mock him as a “one hit wonder” all you want—even though he actually won two races—but remember that 99.99% of the population has zero Cup wins, making Derrike infinitely better than most of the universe.  Meanwhile, Jesse Little’s card is an example of the “Carolina Blue” parallel variant series limited to 2021 “Fat Packs”.  Because if there’s one thing modern collectable cards need, its more variety.

TO THE BACKS: While Natalie Decker’s top-five finish in the Truck Series race is nothing to sneeze at, it was really the highpoint of her season in which she struggled to make the top-20.  But, to be fair, she was racing for—NIECE MOTORSPORTS?  That makes it even harder to defend any hope for her performance improving.  Speaking of misplaced hope, Gray Gaulding.

SAY WHATS: “This guy really doesn’t know how to take pictures, does he?  Its like I’m surrounded by an LSD-infused hallucination.”  “Stick with the professional photogs—they know how to make us look eight feet tall.”
