Onto the Card Collectors World Box Break!……..

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 1 - 34 are the “A to Z“ of the Sprint Drivers. From Allmendinger to Waltrip, all active Sprint Drivers are included.

Cards 35 - 44 are the more popular cars driven by Sprint Drivers such as Johnson, Gordon, the Busch Brothers, Stewart and Dale Jr.

Cards 45 - 53 are Nationwide Drivers, including Allgaier, Danica, Wise and McDowell.

Cards 63 - 72 “Sunday Sensations”. These cards highlight the winners of 2011 and include Johnson, Kyle Busch, Harvick and Edwards.

Cards 73 - 78 “G Force”. These cards highlight cars from six of the top drivers: Burton, Kurt Busch, Harvick, Edwards, Martin, and Stewart.

Cards 79 - 86 “Dream Team”. Not to be confused with the Olympic Basketball Team from a few years ago, these cards “introduce” the collector/fan to the different teams currently running in the Sprint Series. Teams highlighted are: Hendrick Motorsports, Roush Fenway Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, Penske Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing, Red Bull Racing, and Stewart-Hass Racing.

Cards 87 - 95 “Top Performers”. These cards highlight various “best” throughout the year, to include: Johnson/Hamlin - Most Wins in 2010, Harvick - Best Average Finish in 2010 and Matt Kenseth - Most Laps Completed in 2010.

Cards 96 - 100 “Undiscovered Elements”. Up and coming drivers including: McReynolds, Ruffin (the 16 year old), Whitt, Elliott (the son of Bill Elliott) and Brunelli (the 17 year old Rookie of the Year in NASCAR Late Models).

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

2011 Hall of Fame: Ned Jarrett NHOF110

INSERTS: (Note: The inserts are chrome, so this makes it very difficult to get a good scan.)

Paige Duke (Miss Sprint)
Ryan Newman Flagship Performers “18 Consecutive Races Without DNF” FPD-RN #33/50

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
