I bought this box twice, surely for myself, one of the best NASCAR boxes of that time (there weren't many, to be fair). But the photos on the cards are just fantastic, the colors of the cars are superb. However, there are no SP cards except for vintage drivers from the 50s to the 80s, and several drivers are reproduced multiple times. I didn't necessarily understand why Ricky Rudd was produced twice but almost identically, and the same for Junior Johnson. Harry Gant, too, but without a card representing his Skoal Bandit car—too bad. Kyle Petty, for example, was also produced twice, with two classic portraits, but no photo of his Pontiac. Instead, we get his team manager at the time, Gary Nelson, and his engine chief, instead of having the car. There are many small misunderstandings like this, but overall, the set is really great. It includes 143 cards with drivers from that era.
I wanted to add some additional details to the 1991 series, a little something extra that the other cards don't have. It showcases the team members, the owner, the team leader, the driver, the car – all of which got lost over the years after 2000, especially. I find it really unfortunate because NASCAR is all about the team, with the car and the driver making NASCAR what it is!

One of my favorite sets is the 1992 Winston Cup PRO SET and its sequel, which is even more beautiful with its cards. The set is larger, reaching a memory of nearly 245 cards, if I recall correctly! As I mentioned, the drawback of the 1991 set is the absence of cards for " the car Harry Gant, the car Kyle Petty, or the car and the picture of Dale Earnhardt.

There are 37 legendary cards representing the drivers from the early years of NASCAR in the late 70s and 80s. There are no inserts or special cards, and even the "prototypes," if I remember correctly, are not included in the boxes – this needs to be verified! In any case, I highly recommend this box if you are a fan of NASCAR from the 1990s.
