A baisc front and not sure the angled back really works.

The back is at an angle so you can read it while going around a turn.

This is a sharp card all around. I think the front pops more than most cards I have seen. I also like the angled back because it gives it some flare in my opinion rather than it just being basic and straight.

When life has you down buy a pack of cards and realize you overpaid.

Eventful 1991 for Rusty. All those 0s. Did he race for another series or what? (Also I don't know racing.)

Cards come from a smoke/pet/Subway-bread/patchouli free home.

I like the action shot with the crowd behind from victory lane.As for the back clearly it is turning left.

Yes. Wallace was a well-established NASCAR Winston Cup driver by this time - the highest level of professional stock car racing. The ASA series (American Speed Association) was a national touring organization, a lower-tier (though still very competitive and eventful) series, and Wallace won the championship in 1983. I don't know how many ASA races he was running in this time frame (obviously none in 1991), and this set seems to be of the commemorative and historical type, so I assume that's why he was included.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

I watched ASA at the Minnesota State Fair Speedway. Had pit access before the races one year. Great for photo taking. Speedway has been gone for many years. sad

I never had the chance to get into ASA, but I did enjoy watching Rusty race. He was never my favorite driver but being a Missouri guy I was never upset if he won.  I once had a boss who was a big NASCAR fan and Rusty was his favorite driver.
