[Baseball Nut]

They are the cards for those who serve and collect. 2011 Press Pass Stealth a nice tribute to the U S Armed Forces and a great set to chase and own.


We classify 2011 Press Pass Stealth as premium cards. Each hobby box contains 24 – 5 card packs which include one autograph and one Race-Used memorabilia card.


Here is a look at the cards we pulled from the box.


PLEASE NOTE - Any cards with shiny or mirrored finishes look fantastic in person but are really difficult to scan. Definitely applies here.


First from the base set

Sprint Cup Series Drivers

some come in a set of three cards



these sets have puzzles on the back of their cards.



Nationwide Series Drivers



Command Center



Cockpit



Strategic Alliance



and Refueling Mission



They also come in numbered parallels. This Tony Stewart Office Depot Chevy is #/99.

From the inserts

Carl Edwards, Mark Martin and Danica Patrick In Flight Report cards


Lee Petty is the subject of this release’s Hall of Fame cards



Kasey Kahne and Marcus Ambrose Supersonic cards



B-52 Stratofortress Flyover card

Our hits were

Joey Coulter Press Pass Signings Autograph card



Danica Patrick Metal of Honor memorabilia card #/50


Overall Look

These are some smart looking cards. With foil and riveting to give the cards a metalic look, Press Pass has done what we’ve come to expect from them, namely, carrying through on a theme in style.

Quality and Variety of Drivers and Subsets

The quality is there. Sprint Cup and Nationwide drivers are represented which makes for a nice checklist. Inserts work well making this a cohesive set of cards.

Do the Hits satisfy? Are the cards too base heavy?

While Press Pass Premium concentrates on firesuits, Press Pass Stealth concentrates on sheet metal. The “Metal of Honor” cards look great and fit right in with the Armed Forces theme. Pull any of these and you’ll be a happy collector. Pull any of the premium cards like the 4 Wide, Afterburner, or, if you are lucky, the Premium autographs with either a military inscription or a combo sheet metal/auto and you just might shout HOOAH!

Will you keep coming back for more?

You could easily purchase multiple boxes and definately look for aftermarket acquisitions of you favorite drivers.
