Autograph & Memorabilia:
Kurt Busch- 2010 Press Pass Autograph
Mark Martin- Spellbound Swatches- Race-Used Firesuit Letter N # 100/150
Brad Keselowski- Spellbound Swatches- Race-Used Firesuit Letter O # 012/120
Joey Logano- Spellbound Swatches- Race-Used Tire Letter O # 021/299
The autographs and memorabilia that I pulled are all great cards. The Kurt Busch is a great autograph to pull, but I actually have 2 favorites.
First is the Keselowski because of the 2 Color NASCAR patch piece on the Firesuit Swatch.
The second is the Danica Patrick base card. Having Danica's 1st NASCAR cards in Press Pass products has peaked the interest of many collectors to buy this product to pull something of her.
Final Thoughts:
This was a fun product to open. The artistry, detail and precision on these cards is truly amazing. The combination of a painted style picture on the front with a retro look on the back will be a hit with collectors. As will all Press Pass products, the wide variety of On-Card autographs and the potential for multi-color swatch memorabilia that gives the collector the opportunity to spell out the name of their favorite driver(s), creates a buzz with this product and will put 2010 Press Pass Eclipse Racing on the top of everyone's want list.
Here's how I would rate the product:
Value- 5

Fun & Experience- 5
Rebuy Value- 5
I rate this product a solid A+ for Press Pass!!!
