Year: 1994

Set: Press Pass Optima XL (Rate)

Card: #8 Ernie Irvan


“ I have nothing but good things to say about Ernie Irvan. He was my absolute favorite driver growing up. This is an interesting long card but the space is used very well on the front and back. ” -ketchupman36

“ Awesome. Ernie was my favorite driver when I discovered the sport and he still is right up there. 1994 was a tough year for Ernie as he was almost killed in a practice wreck at Michigan. He had only a 10% chance to even survive, but he did...and even raced and won again. This is one of only four "tall boy" sets issued for NASCAR. I got it as a single years ago, I never opened a single pack of the oversized NASCAR cards. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ That's a top-notch mustache! Interesting observation: Earned almost as much money in 1994 as 1992 -- in half as many starts! ” -dilemma19

“ I like Billy...nice add! ” -bkklaos

“ So much money for someone who can make 4 left turns. ” -carthage44

“ This if the first time I've seen a card of any kind that has stats of the season currently being run. ” -rmpaq5

“ Look like it was modified to removed his beer bottle and his cigarette from his left hand. ” -PMB

“ I'm guessing this is a larger than standard size card? Front OK for racing card I guess, but where is his car? Back again I think looks OK but again his car? I can see by his suit he drives the Texaco Havoline car but it would be nice to see the cars as well. ” -captkirk42

“ Well, it beats soccer. ” -NJDevils

“ What's with the shading of the rest of the card? ” -corozco

“ I usually like non-standard sized cards, but this one doesn't really do it for me. I've mentioned it before: I'm not a fan of motorsports, but if I collected the cards, I would want more pictures of the cars, and less of the drivers. (I'm sure Danica Patrick fans would disagree). Glancing at the thumbs for this checklist, it looks like only about a dozen cards have a car on them. ” -switzr1
