Cards 55 - 60 show battles, championships and first wins by such prominent drivers as Dale Earnhardt Sr.


Cards 61 - 71 show the “50 Win Club”. Cards 72 - 80 are the “Champions” cards, which include Petty, Earnhardt and Johnson.

Race-Used

Doug Kalitta Lasting Legends Shirt (Three Color Red/White/Black) LL-DK #10/25
Mark Martin Lasting Legends Firesuit (Lime Green) LL-MM #096/175
Dale Earnhardt Sr “50 Wins Club” Firesuit PATCH (Three Color Black/Red/White) #01/75



WHAT DO I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? Several things, including: (1) The thick card stock. These cards are not flimsy and are not going to bend easily! (2) The "canvas" look of the Motorsports Masters, especially on the Autographs! (3) I like, no I LOVE, the idea of having the NHRA involved with this product! (4) "50 Wins Club", these cards are just outstanding! (5) Only NINE (9) cards shy of having the complete base set!

WHAT DO I NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? While it took me a few minutes to adjust to the thicker (1/8") card stock for the race-used, there is nothing in this product that I do not like.

FAVORITE CARD: Honestly it is a toss up between The Dale Earnhardt Sr “50 Wins Club” Firesuit Patch and the entire base set of the "50 Wins Club"

Cost: approximately $150.00

THIS IS HOW I RATED THIS PRODUCT:

Value = 5
Innovation = 5
Fun and Experience = 5
Rebuy Value = 5

I RATE THIS PRODUCT AN “A+” FOR PRESS PASS!

You noticed that too? Seems like every box break I've seen has a Mike Joy Autograph. Can't remember which site it was but the guy pulled TWO (2) Mike Joy Auographs from his box break!

I like the throwback cards in the set. I am not a Nascar collector per se, but the cards are pretty cool looking.
