Random Card of the Day



Tuesday, January 10, 2017

Year: 2004

Set: Press Pass (Rate)

Card: #46 Jimmy Vasser


“ Jimmy seems to need to pick up a sponsor or twelve. ” -rmpaq5

“ Vasser had a very brief NASCAR career- two races in 2003 - but he was much more successful in Indy car racing. He won 10 races in his career there and the 1996 Championship. Now retired, he is currently a team owner in the IndyCar series. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ The back was no help on how he did during the season. Lots of NA's. ” -carthage44

“ Looks kind of plain even for a racing card. Thought the back was a checklist at first but appears to be some kind of general schedule of the racing season? ” -captkirk42

“ He's looking a bit too cool for having not finished top-20 in any of the races listed on the back... ” -dilemma19

“ "Ladies....." ” -SFC Temple

“ I really like that they put some stats on the back. I never collected NASCAR, but I always thought some kind of stat would be good. This is a nice looking set. ” -muskie027

Actually it was more because press pass was really inept. They could almost never figure out that a NASCAR set should show the cars, for instance.  Also Vassar had stated that he wanted to switch to NASCAR full time but obviously it didn't happen.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
