Some new card ideas!

[MCXC1987]

I want a set that is just amazing pictures with very little writing on the card-like stadium club used to be for other sports. (the eclipse speedscapes subset this year is a lot like this except it is artsy-just have the cool picture)

I want an insert set that involves the family-most of our drivers families are well-known by us-call the set family portraits-I dont have any cards with Kate or Carls baby with him in a victory lane type picture-I think itd be neat. Also have a dual auto with the driver and his wife (I think Stevie and Darrell Waltrip signed a few of these for legends and they were super popular)

im sure i have more ideas but those are the two I most want

The best photography ever. Loved their designs. Always very basic. Just put the name and team in the center, the rest was just a photography. Loved those cards Great ones for TTM/IP

As far as RU goes, I think they've done just about everything possible.

Although it would've been cool if they did a RU set that had chunks of the old Daytona pavement.

Alright, Ive been thinking about the "Most Wanted" set.
I think that this would be a cool idea for 2011 Main Event, since its always themed!
The base cards would be like this:

Driver cards would be called fugitive.
It would show a full-body mugshot of the driver, actually done with a real mugshot background.
The driver would be holding a sign that said their name, date of birth, and place of birth.
The back of the card would have the info of the driver, with the whole FBI scheme to it.
All of the cards would have the green digital writing like whats on an alarm clock.

There would also be a base set with the drivers car on it.
The set would be called "Getaway Vehicle".
It would show the car on the front, and the info like: "#2 Miller Lite Penske Dodge".
On the back, it would tell a top speed, car color, and main sponsor.
Would also say the last time that the car was talked about during a race.
(Like, "Last seen rubbing fenders at Martinsville" or something like that)

As for the autographs, it would show a different mugshot, with just the drivers face from the front and the side. (the cards will be cards that are horizontal instead of vertical).
There will be the drivers autograph on the bottom-right, under the mug-shot.
To the right and in the middle of the card would be an actual drivers fingerprint.
There would be a film over the card to protect the fingerprint, but the place where the drivers autograph is would have the normal feel to it, without a film.
All of the autographs would be #/30.

And since there are rewards for capturing one of the "Most Wanted", there would also be a "Reward" card.
It would be kinda like the cards in '10 Legends, and it would feature an oversized Firesuit Patch.
Nothing other than firesuit :)
The firesuit cards would be #/30 as well.
These cards will be vertical, not horizontal.

There would be no levels for these cards.
No numbered base cards (unless in fast pass boxes).
Printing Plates will still be inserted into random packs though.



So, do you guys think I should send this idea into Press Pass?
If youd like to see my version of "2011 Wheels Main Event: Most Wanted" then please say so! :)

I think it'd be a sick idea. Don't know if PP would ever go for it, but it's worth a shot!

Alright guys, I just thought of some new card ideas!

One would be an "FBI's Most Wanted" kind of thing, with the drivers autograph, and to the left would be on of the drivers actual fingerprints (under some type of film to protect it of coarse).
And on the back of the card, have a "mug shot" style picture of the drivers face, along with the reason theyre most wanted. (for winning races, doing good in the points, etc).
It would cool if it said on the back, "Last seen driving the #2 Miller Lite Penske Racing Dodge" (for Keselowski).
They would all be #/25.

Another cool one would be a Race Used gauge card, like what was used with Jimmie Johnson in the 5 Star Paramount Pieces card.
I honestly think that is a really cool piece!!

They also need a few more "instant win cards" for random race used memerobilia of drivers from all 3 levels...Trucks, Nationwide, and Sprint Cup.
Not talking about a piece of anything, a lugnut, or a dang "driver worn" hat or sunglasses....but Im talking undershirts, shoes, gloves, firesuits, HANS devices, and helmets even!
BUT, Im a huge memerobilia collector, so thats just that side of me talking.
It would be easier to get a Truck or Nationwide driver, and harder to get a Sprint Cup driver (but not that hard).

LMK what you think of the ideas, and give some ideas of your own!!

These are great ideas and you made me think on the instant win cards. Press Pass could go as far as Instant win cards for what you mentioned, but also would be really cool and a great marketing ploy if they had instant wins for tickets for 4 to a Sprint cup race ( locally ). Maybe an instant win card for an unopened case of any one of their Nascar products. I know for sure these would sell, because people love chances. I remember when Upper Deck used to have instant win cards inserted. I got lucky to pull one for a full size autographed helmet. Not the best player, but a regulation helmet and autographed was a sweet pull. They could definetely do more for driver worn this or that. My Kyle Busch shades would have been that much cooler if they were signed.

And Im sure if I did send them the idea, I wouldnt get anything in return except for, "Thanks for the idea!"

You'd have the satisfaction of knowing that every collector will see the cards that you came up with. :) I know you'd rather have something tangible, but its something. lol

Just sent the idea to Press Pass.
Told them there was ALOT of positive feedback from the collectors!
I hope they will make a set like this :)

Here is another idea that Just popped in my head a little while ago so I decided to throw another example together real quick.



It would be a past and present autograph set. Have the date the driver won the race on, their actual winnings amount, and obviously their auto on the bottom right. I think that it would be pretty neat to see the differance in the cash winnings from the legends to todays drivers. Let me know what you guys think......*Ryan*

AWESOME idea!
You need to PM me so we can get together and make some examples to send to PP
