I love collecting cards. It's a way to learn about my favorite athletes, and to me there is nothing more satisfying than being able to put together an entire set.
That's the reason any card collector would love 2011 Press Pass Element racing cards. They are informative, colorful and the duplicates are rare which means you can build a set from a box.
There are also chances to collect autographs from up-and-coming drivers, as well as current drivers.
In every hobby box, there is a one card mystery pack that includes either an autographed "Undiscovered Element" card or a black-bordered base card that is serially numbered under 35.
In my box I pulled a Brandon McReynolds autographed "Undiscovered Element" card, numbered 200 of 225. The cool thing about the card for me is the fact that the card is hand-signed meaning the signature is on the card, and not on a piece of tape applied to the card. In other words, Brandon McReynolds actually held the card to sign it.
Besides the one-card mystery pack, there are 24 six-card packs in the box. As I said I was able to build the base set from the 144 cards, I was also able to get a good start on the 12-card "High Octane Vehicle" subset, as well as the 10-card "Tales of the Track" subset. I also pulled a NASCAR Hall of Fame card of new inductee Ned Jarrett.
As an extra bonus, there is also one memorabilia card and one autographed card per hobby box.
I was able to pull a Tony Stewart "Finish Line" card, numbered 4-of-10. The card included a swatch of an actual race-used checkered flag, which was very cool.
My autographed card was even better.
It was 1-of-1 press plate signed by Elliott Sadler. Like the McReynolds card, it was actually signed on the card by Sadler, which made for a very cool pull.
With the ease of set building, and with the high quality inserts, 2011 Press Pass Element racing was a fun box to have, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves racing and collecting cards.
