First look: Danica Patrick's debut NASCAR cards from Press Pass
Press Pass unveiled its first NASCAR cards of Danica Patrick on Monday evening — cards which are set to arrive in 2010 Element in January.
As reported here on The Beckett Blog last week, Patrick will appear on a card in the base set as well as one insert set in Element. The company did not have enough time to secure autographs for inclusion in the product, however she will have autographed and race-used cards in future Press Pass products.
Patrick will make her debut in an ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway in February and run a limited schedule in the Nationwide Series while continuing to race on the IRL circuit.
Look for more on upcoming NASCAR cards right here in the coming weeks. See both forthcoming Patrick cards after the jump.

They could go through all the trouble printing up cards and getting the pictures, but they couldn’t get her to sign the cards? LAME. Just tell us it costs too much money and at least we will like you becuase you are honest.
The cards are scheduled to arrive in shops in less than a month. You can bet that they held things up to get her in — i.e. images approved likely just today before released.
Next step, printing and packaging. Again, that doesn’t happen in minutes.
And I’d be more than willing to bet that there is not an ample window of time to add autographs to the list of variables.
But I’m sure you know better.

please Chris, Im not stupid, if you can sell this garbage without spending money on her autographs then why would you, especially when beckett is there to make it look like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Hmm I can pull 3 autos in a box of baseball cards but only one in a box of racing? LOL
