What I pulled:
Base #1-57
Nice picture of each of the drivers. They are pictured in their uniform and not in the car.
MPH #58-69
I like that there are pictures of the drivers themselves and some are of their actual cars in action.
Rookie Recap #70-81
The Rookies of the past 2009 season are featured. It's good to see them pictured at their best accomplishment of the year.
Winning Numbers #82-90
These are not really necessary for the set. I think that the cards of their full car is good enough. No need to take pictures of just their numbers.
Prelude To The Dream #91-99
Headliners #100-108
I like seeing the biggest accomplishments of the season having their own recognition.
Top 12 #109-120
It's good to see the Top 12 get recognition of their accomplishments this past year.
Chase Puzzles #121-129 (1:30)
The puzzle is a great feature that Press Pass has in this set. It makes it fun to try and complete something other than a set.
Pulled: 1 (Kasey Kahne)
By The Numbers (1:3)
Good to see some die-cut cards, but the design of them isn't outstanding. Looks a little bland.There is a total of 50 drivers to complete this set within the set. There are also 6 other Target/Walmart exclusives for this set.
Pulled: 10 (Harry Grant, Dale Earnhardt, Carl Edwards, Richard Perry, Bobby Allison, Matt Kenseth, Regan Smith, Reed Sorenson, Glen Wood, Alan Kulwicki)
INSERTS
Holo Parallel #’d to 100
The glossy base which are low numbered are always fun to see in a set. Adds more to just a regular base set.
Pulled: 2 (Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne)
Unleashed (1:6)
There are 3 different pictures on each of the card. I like there there is a celebration picture and a car picture. It's capturing what each of the drivers are all about.
Pulled: 5 (Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, David Reutimann, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers)
Tradin’ Paint (1:12)
The design jumps at me, and they have a great feel to them as well. They are great, but maybe different variations of some drivers would be great.
Pulled: 3 (Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson)
Cup Chase Entries (1:28)
If the driver you pulled, places in the Top 12 during the 2010 season. You will be sent a 'Top 12' set at the end of the year. It's sort of a redemption. I like the idea because it gives the racing fans into the sport more. They begin to cheer for the drivers to do well.
Pulled: 1 (Kurt Busch)
Hall of Fame (1:30)
It's nice to see the Hall Of Fame members being honored with a card of their own.
Pulled: 1 (Bill France Sr.)
Burning Rubber (Silver - #'d to 250, Gold #'d to 99, PC #'d to 25)
Tradin’ Paint race-used sheet metal (Silver - #'d to 299, Gold #'d to 99, Holo #'d to 25)
The designs on these cards are amazing. The paint that is part of the design looks real.
Final thoughts:
The base set just reminds me of the past couple of years, nothing jumps out to me. I like that you pull the complete base set. There was one problem that i had. Some of the base cards weren't cut properly. They were cut unevenly and you could see a little bit of the next card in the set. I pulled at least 5 cards that had this problem.
I really like the Insert sets. They have a great design that is very appealing. The holofoils make another challenge for set collectors. It's great to see a Race Used memorabilia card per box. Don't need to increase the odds of pulling more memorabilia cards.
