Your 2015 options are pretty limited, as only one set was released...the retail cards are the ones I show here, all the base cards in hobby are foil. I actually like retail better myself.<br /><br />And I know exactly what you mean about too many cards to choose from. I'm a completionist, after all! :)Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858926958713988123.post-17410430670107840772015-02-22T23:40:10.831-05:002015-02-22T23:40:10.831-05:00I meant to watch the race, but I forgot about it u...I meant to watch the race, but I forgot about it until it was nearly over and didn't want to deal with the uproar of my children if I turned off their movie to watch racing. I'm still pretty bummed about Press Pass going away, as I liked getting my NASCAR fix from them and they put out some pretty interesting cards over the last few years. I hope that someone picks up the NASCAR cardboard license soon. I need to pick up a 2015 set sometime, probably soon. There are just so many cards competing for my attention. Each month the want list gets bigger.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858926958713988123.post-54389819669403732052015-02-22T20:00:24.627-05:002015-02-22T20:00:24.627-05:00Well, with Press Pass, even though these are marke...Well, with Press Pass, even though these are marketed as 2015, they were produced around September of 2014 so all the sponsors and images are a year late. It's been that way since around 2003. And of course, the censor Budweiser and for some reason they censored 5 Hour Energy this year. McDowell still has K-Love but they were not on the car at Daytona- they actually got a paying sponsor. K-Love is something he feels strongly about and I am not actually sure if they pay to be on the car.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858926958713988123.post-71539474290277738972015-02-22T18:45:40.883-05:002015-02-22T18:45:40.883-05:00I was happy with the race and the winner, glad it ...I was happy with the race and the winner, glad it wasn't anyone else that finished in the top five. The two I was rooting for finished 12th and 13th, so I can't complain at all.<br /><br />Those are nice cards, it would be nice to find some NASCAR cards around here, but I've never been a fan of their subsets. I hope someone picks up the licensing for them as it would be a shame for no more cards being produced.<br /><br />I have a question, how accurate are the sponsors on the cards? I ask because I know there were a lot of changes since last year (I didn't know Edwards switched numbers and has a new sponsor), so I was curious. Also do you know if McDowell still has K-Love as a sponsor? It seemed like an interesting sponsorship to me, but I do root for him on occasion.Jupiterhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429260259942068151noreply@blogger.com
