Wheels Main Event--Win a Nascar Auto! /50

**Showdown** · 10-23-2009, 12:13 PM

Here's your chance to win a great on card auto that was just pulled from the 2009 Wheels Main Event Box. You can win a card of Colin Braun, which is a nice, on card autograph numbered to 50. Braun is a very young rising star in the Nascar Truck series. He captured the 2008 Raybestos Rookie of the Year award in the Nascar Truck Series.

Here's how to win---
Read the Review of the 2009 Wheels Main Event Box in the Review Forum and then, in this thread, explain what you like and don't like about the Wheels Main Event Product. The entries will then be judged (not by me) by a neutral person, and the winner gets the Braun card! The more feedback, the better! Simple as that.
All entries are due by November 4!

Hi,
I like a lot of things about the cards. I really like the autographs that are on the cards instead of on stickers. I also really like that you got an extra autograph in the box and that one of the autographs was Billy Bad Butt. It's a great idea to have those types of fun autographs in the box. The race used cards are very nice and unusual. The combination with poker is a lot of fun, although I with each box had a whole deck of cards. I really also like the wild west old fashioned look to the rounders "wanted" cards. That was great idea! The only things I don't like are that you have to get a few boxes to get that whole deck of cards. If there was a guaranteed poker autograph, even if it wasn't from a super famous poker player, that would make it more fun too.
For a suggestion, it might be fun to have some cards of the drivers playing poker. I don't know if any of them have been in the World Series of Poker, but that would be a great combination to have a card showing them playing in the Main Event, since that's the theme of the boxes.
Another idea that I think would be an improvement would be if the Poker and Driver cards had inscriptions, like "2001 Main Event Champion" or "Talladega Speed Record." Even if those were limited or serial numbered that would add another fun part to the cards. Or, since there are Driver Triple Hats, maybe Poker Triple hats since just about everyone wears hats at the poker table. Also, it would be fun to see poker/driver combined jersey or auto cards, that might be "2008 champions," and then have the Poker champion and driver listed on the same card. If there were jerseys, hats, or autographs, it would be even that much better.
I think Press Pass had a really great idea on this one and should keep creating these boxes in the future!

I like the new B+W design that is a new concept. I always love that all autographs are on card. And it never hurts that they add a poker star auto with out that going against a nascar Driver Auto pull. I also like the addition of more hits with sign cards.

I did not like the "cowboy hat cards" sort of ripps off the leatherheads card idea from SPA in football. However, it does not seem to connect well for me in this product. I think that one dsign and product to be inspired by would be Premier in football. Pulling a multi color helmet piece with a race used firesuit and shoe to parallel how they do football ---helmet, jsy, pants would me awesome. That would be something to look into especially for maybe your higher end releases.
