Press Pass Sell Sheet
The 50 card base set cards feature a color torso and head shot of the named driver. All of the subjects have their arms folded across their chest. The background is a digitized flame or fire graphic in a matte finish. The driver stands out with a glossy finish. The border-less cards have a silver foil graphic at the bottom of the card fronts which have the set and driver name. The card backs have a smaller color picture of the same on the front. The card backs are trimmed in a color of the driver's fire suit and list moderate career highlights.

2013 Press Pass Ignite that features the hottest drivers on the NASCAR circuit. Teh drivers are listed alphabetically so the base set is easy to sort. Normally I complain about too many inserts but I did pull a complete set form the box so I can not this time. Pulling a couple of low numbered cards was a real bonus. The auto is a sticker auto but the card is designed to fit it well. About the only real drawback I can speak to is the the cards all look the same. I like teh simple not do busy design, but having all of the drivers posed the same way make the set feel redundant.
The Bottom Line: I give 2013 Press Pass Ignite a BUY rating. Pulling a complete is worth it and pulling some low number cards is a real bonus! Buy a box and trade your Dale Jr. cards to me!

Press Pass sent me this box to review for Full Spectrum Baseball. As always I am offering base and insert cards to members here for a SASE.
Thanks to Press Pass for making this review possible!
