Yes, she sure stands out being in the middle of the card (I know that you are talking about Newman lol!) If I had a little more money I could have gotten a Showcase Martin RU card also.

Good lookin' cards, Jerry! I'm with you, though, no way I can afford a box of this stuff...too rich for this hillbilly's blood! I did buy a few individuals like you, though. Will share when they come in.

Thank you, even the owner of the LCS said that he was not going to try to complete the base set because it was so expensive and you only get 1 base card per pack.

Oh, there are two other drivers on the card with her I had to go back and look......... ) I have to agree with Jerry though and vote for the last one as my favorite also.
Congrats on the pickups, nice stuff.
I collect Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Kevin Garnett also certain High End Celtics HOF's.

Jerry Your correct sir. I do like Danica too but her stuff is expensive so I don't collect her. I'm just happy Newman landed at RCR , I was afraid he would wind up on a lesser team.

HOLY SHHHHHHHHHH...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That last card is spectacular! I like all of the cards for one reason or another, but nothing beats that last one!!! All of those cards would look nice in one of my PC's.
Congrats on the sweet pick-ups, Jerry!
I also agree with everyone here that Showcase is just too rich for my blood (or wallet). I saved up for months to buy a box of the 1st release in 2009. I still didn't get to buy it until I got my tax return in April 2010. That one 15-card box cost me $256 then, AND that was a bargain in the first year. I kind of felt slighted after that since the next year's boxes could be had for about half that price. I pulled real nice cards, but not nice enough for me to scare up the money for the 2010 box.
