Recently I acquired a collection of Nascar cards from the past thirty years. Most of it was unopened “Blaster Boxes” (those things you see near checkout at big box stores) as well as a few early-90’s “Premiere Sets”. Lets open them and see what’s inside!
Press Pass 2012 Part 3—a golden haze, glory days, and a flag to raise
FIRST LOOK: This is a pretty nice-looking gold foil card, despite what my crummy apartment lighting does to it. Darn you lack of drive to get a professional light rig!
TO THE BACK: Ah yes, David Gilliland’s Busch Series win, one of Nascar’s biggest upsets that didn’t involve rain, restrictor plates, or a driver strike.
SAY WHAT: “Hey, uh, so this is the 100 flag. And even I gotta admit I don’t know why he’s celebrating this.”
RATING: 5 pit road penalties out of 10
