Random Card of the Day

Year: 1994

Set: Racing Champions Stock Car (Rate)

Card: #02221 Sterling Marlin


“ Front is ok, but there's something weird about the back.And funny name. ” -Duke

“ Here's first for the Card of the Day...this is the 1994 card shown. The 1995 card used the half gray box with facsimile signature and a close up head shot. Sterling won the Daytona 500 in both years becoming the first driver to score his first two career wins back to back in the most important NASCAR race of the year...and remains the only one to do that to this day. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This looks way more retro than 1995. That just be me showing my age. 1995 doesn't feel like it would have that old of a look. The back is awful. ” -muskie027

“ NASCAR fans get their cars with this series. Just for the record: I've never bought a product based on advertising in racing. ” -Sportzcommish

“ More sponsors please. ” -carthage44

“ These came with a diecast car, this was one of the first cars/cards i got. Sterling won back to back daytona 500's in 94 and 95, won a couple other races in the mid 90s then nothing till 2001/2002 where he won another handfull of races and i think was leading the points when he got hurt at kansas ” -Thunderfoot

“ Racing Champions... Sterling Marlin... I'll give this a 5 out of 4 stars. ” -UKboogie

“ Super simple Racing card. Racing fans is it possible that this is one of the cards that came with the die-cast cars? ” -captkirk42

The cards weren't as important to me as collecting the diecast cars but the cards are still fun to look at.

hmmm... I don't see card numbers.


-------------------------------

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Chuck, please do NOT start this. You have no idea how difficult it was to get accurate checklists for these sets. This is the only place on the internet where an accurate checklist of the CARDS is posted, I know, because I did ALL the work.

The cards are numbered to car number. and it's necessary they stay that way because there are dozens of times where the drivers have cards with different numbers. It is absolutely necessary to not destroy this by screwing up the numbers. Screw this up and not only do you undo literally decades of my work, you also make the site less accurate and we lose information.

So please, just don't. And also know that if you change it...you'll be wasting all our time because I WILL change it back to what it is right now. I have no real life beyond cards so I have the time, and I still have all the original files I used to create the checklists saved, so I can do it. It'll take time and it'll earn you an enemy but it can be done.

Hopefully you can see how important this is not to change it.

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.
