Year: 1994

Set: Finish Line (Rate)

Card: #139 Jimmy Fennig


“ 1993 Leaf wants its design back. ” -ShoTime

“ The effects on this card reminds me of the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. ” -rmpaq5

“ This could be one of the worst cards I have ever seen. The awful photos, the dizzying background, the slanted writing. I am trying to find something nice to say and I can't find one redeeming quality. This card should be burned and anyone that worked on this card should be thrown in prison for crimes against humanity. ” -davidhandberry

“ Pro Set did racing too! Not just Hockey, Football, and Little Mermaid. Drivers' have directors? At least no frame-y borders. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ It's amazing how many sets in this time period used this same basic design. More than one in the same season for NASCAR! I consider 1994 the best season for NASCAR cards although 1998 is my favorite season overall. Although Jimmy Fennig has retired from traveling to every track every week he's still involved in the sport today, being technical director of Roush Fenway Racing. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ So-so racing card in my book. Was Finish Line part of Press PASS? It looks very similar and is very simple. ” -captkirk42

“ Maybe if you were into racing, but not for me. This could be anything looking at the front. I wouldn't have been shocked if this was a set of news casters of the world, tennis coaches, random cards for people watching a horse race. A lot of wasted space in the bottom right too. ” -muskie027

1993 Finish Line was so much better than 1994 Finish Line. Pro Set really messed this one up with the blur and basically using the same design from 1993. One of the rare Pro Set misses in any sport! This card shows why they didn't last much longer after that year.

And: @captkirk42 - No, Press Pass had nothing to do with Finish Line. It was purely a Pro Set product and PP never used the Finish Line brand for any product after Pro Set closed.

Not a fan of this one.  The front is okay, but I wouldn't have blurred the background.  The back is a mess.  The photo on the left being the worst.  The writing is also bad too.

Not really much of a racing fan and the back of the card is somewhat "dizzying".
