“ Not sure why but this card just doesn't look right. ” -John Kerry
“ 1994 Action Packed is my favorite NASCAR set ever, but they sure do scan terribly. The entire background is gold foil in a checkered flag pattern, and the embossed nature of the card makes weird white lines show up in strange places, usually on the face, due to the scanner's light reflecting oddly. The card image is from victory lane of the first of Jeff's 93 Cup wins, 3rd most all time. Unfortunately I didn't get to see it due to it being on TBS, which we didn't get until around 1999. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I don't collect racing but remember Action Packed from baseball and football and I liked them. They were one of the first cards that I remember to use computer generated backgrounds and do all the 90's graphics. This card looks odd but I believe it's because the foil and graphics don't scan well. ” -davidhandberry
“ Odd shading and reflections, or else my monitor is doing funny things with this card. ” -kents_stuff
“ Didnt know ben shapiro had a card. Very cool. ” -parsley24
“ Action Packed for any sport I don't like the print on one side of medium thickness cardboard and fold it into a card style that they did. Foil letter does not scan these 50+ year old eyes can't read a damn thing on the front except "Dupont" on the driver's jacket and "Coca-Cola 600" on the hat. "Charl...." (Charlotte?) at the top and Action Packed in bottom left. Yes yes I know back in the 1990s card companies didn't think about how the chrome and foil lettering would "photograph" (or "scan") they just wanted something that looked flashy and were testing new technologies for cards. ” -captkirk42
“ action packed oh how i miss you... ” -Thunderfoot
