Hey guys and gals,

Once everyone busts their box(es) of 2008 Press Pass, could you please make a nice, orderly post showing what you got out of your boxes. Also, if possible, provide a scan of the best card you pulled? If you need help posting scans, PM anyone on the SCF Racing team and we will try to help. Also please make sure to put how you felt about this product, quality of cards, looks, etc., good or bad post it and be honest.

When reviewing a product that you have personally opened, try to include....

**The name, brand, and year of the product
**Your assessment of the ru'd or auto pulled

Thanks for your input!!

Thanks
SCF Racing Team


Also please keep this to the posting of your box breaks only. For any trading, please discuss it through PM with the member directly. Thank you!

Les (:->

Just about everything is for trade. I rate this release a 1/5. Terrible Collation problems. The front of the Slideshow cards look ok, but the back looks horrible, I almost went blind sorting through them. Out of 2 boxes I didn't get a RU/Auto, which I'm not basing my rating from that, but would have been nice. ALOT of doubles. Same old subsets.

Though I beat the odds on both boxes with auto and ru'd, not happy with the collation issues involving the parallel gold cards. One box had them all, the other had none, the one that had them all, 50% damage rate, from packaging apparently, weird that only cards with bent corners were gold. I left message with Amber at Press Pass, now have to wait to see what they will do for this, just hope I can keep the ru'd.

Did you get any platinums out of the second box? I'd be happy with those. You got 2 hits. I didn't get squat from my 2 boxes.

Yes I got 1 platinum in the 2nd box, I put all the cards back into the foils, as I cut the top edge to pull cards out, to avoid damaging the cards when opening packs. Was kinda pissed at Press pass after 1st box, not having golds, I was looking forward to trading away golds for blue retails. It was P37 Carl Edwards

Hi gang, hopefully third times a charm. Tried to post this twice already and got booted both times (database error/reset?), the second time was after I typed out 2&1/2 boxes worth.
Anyway got my 4 boxes from Les, Thank you again Les for still taking the time to do these case breaks, even with all you are oing through. We will keep an eye out for your posts, and will continue to keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers.
I was only gonna bust 1 , but ended up ripping 3(you'll see why)
My thoughts: Typical Press Pass set. Thin card stock, nice pics, but still hate the ultra shiny foil inserts. The foil backs on the Slideshow are a pain too By the time I actually looked at the backs of them I had them all fingerprinted up.

Box #1
Base Cards 114 1 double*

OK so finally got my Golds and a couple of Bonuses :LOL:

I give this release a 3.5 out of 5. Bad collation takes the mark down.

I think I'll let my wife and son open the last box tonight, might even do a live break.
