What's Buzz-worthy: This one was billed as a high-end brand when it arrived at a $20 per pack price and that led it to have a one-pack-per-hanger-box presence at retail. All those years later, this one was found in a retail bargain bin yesterday for less than $10. (The box was pretty mangled so you see just the pack here.) The base cards definitely carry a premium feel with some of the better foil work I remember seeing from Press Pass, while the parallels here are die-cuts with color changes. Simple enough. The autograph in this box was of that year's Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne -- the youngest winner at just 20 years old -- but the design of that auto set isn't the best I've seen among Press Pass' past cardboard. These retail packs include either an autograph or a memorabilia card so this one definitely feels like a win, especially from the bargain bin. If you see them in the wild, make sure they're not tampered with and that the pack is inside (given their age) and rip away. This brand includes some solid stuff.
