Onto the Card Collectors World Box Break!……..
The cards are made from a medium-weight card stock. Artist painted over each picture taken, giving the look of a painting versus a picture.

WHAT DO I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? A couple of things. First, the artist concept. These “painted” cards give this product a totally different look from any previous product. And, while others might disagree, the chance to be able to spell out your favorite drivers name with the spellbound swatches is a fantastic idea. Second, just like the Element product the lack of Dale Earnhardt Jr and Danica Patrick cards makes this product very nice!
WHAT DO I NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? I would have liked to seen a better selection of base cards showing drivers from the Craftsman Truck Series and the Nationwide Series.
FAVORITE CARD: My favorite card out of the CCW box break? Are you serious? A favorite? Forget about the numbered, the autograph and the race-used. Did you actually take the time to look at the base cards? I would say my favorite card are base cards #1 to 90! The base cards are beautiful!
Cost: approximately $90.00 - $110.00
