The cards are made from a heavy card stock and have that old school, back in the 60’s look and feel.
BASE CARDS: There are 100-cards in the set. We were able to do one complete set in our box and ended up with 27 duplicates.

Cards 79 - 86 “Dream Team”.

Black Parallels (#d to 50): Stewart’s Car 40 #25/35

WHAT DO I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? EVERYTHING! The old school look and feel is great! The thicker card stock do not bend easily. And, as in the previous few Press Pass issues, some of the race-used are extremely thick (1/8 inch to 1/4 inch). THE AUTOGRAPHS ARE ON CARD! And, please forgive me for saying this, but it is so nice to see a product that is not cluttered with Dale Jr. and Danica!
WHAT DO I NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? Are you joking? How can you NOT like this product? Great base cards, easy to put together insert sets, nice assortment of race-used, and ON CARD AUTOGRAPHS!
FAVORITE CARD: My favorite card out of the CCW box break? That’s an easy one……Tony Stewart Autograph.
Cost: approximately $75.00 - $85.00
