Good article (http://www.sportscardforum.com/articles/?p=517) by Karine. What do you think about racing cards in 2008?

nice little article but there was alot missed.

the premium release had the wickedest patch cards ever produced. eclipse had a great teammates autograph lineup. just a few small things that would have brought the grades of the releases up.

premium was dull, but the patch cards were awesome.

i would love to help with such articles in the future. i could be interviewed, or just write one myself.

i can write ok, i just need a topic to get me started.

great job karine and pete.

well I agree to disagree with her on several aspects so here's my take on the sets, using the same order she did

2008 Press Pass
This is a case of it is what it is...didn't thrill me C-

2008 Eclipse
Nice looking set. I loved the black border. The Under Cover's to me were a major disappointment otherwise it would have been an A. B+

2008 Legends
I havent bought any of the Legends product and haven't traded for any yet (though I still want the Stewart's and Kyle's) as such I don't feel I can grade the set.

2008 Premium
I liked the overall design and I liked the firesuit cards especially the patch versions B+

2008 Speedway
Just terrible. As bad as Traks that it replaced. The Garage Graphs stopped it from being an F...D+

2008 Stealth
Cluttered fronts and card 72 not made in the retail version? Inserts were weak. For me I don't understand the huge love of this product. C -

2008 VIP
They were so ugly, I bought 2 packs and decided I would just trade for the ones I needed D-

2008 American Thunder
I didn't get the political theme. Doesn't do a thing for me. C

2008 High Gear
Not bad. But not spectacular B

I'd love to get as much feedback on this as possible. I am planning on going back to college to pursue a degree in sports journalism and this was my first crack at writing an article. It was a priviledge to have such an opportunity and I look forward to all of you, my peers, to give me your thoughts. I appreciate all the comments, whether positive or negative and will view them objectively as to provide better in the future.

Thank you all

The article itself was well written, just so everyone doesn't think Im being overly critical

Very nice article, Pete!

I appreciate yours, and everyones, opinion. After all, we are all entitled to one. As far as I'm concerned, any criticism is good criticism, no matter if it's positive or negative.
