This was Maxx's first attempt at producing a mass-market racing product. The Myrtle Beach (First Edition) set contains 100 cards including a Cover Card and four checklists. The set was initially introduced at the 1988 Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte. The Myrtle Beach name was attached to this set due to the printer's notation on the four checklists. The 100 standard sized cards comprising this set were issued in complete factory sets which were made available to collectors for the price of $19.95 through an offer on the cover cards. Ten-card shrink-wrapped packs were packaged in 44-count boxes and in 1989 Maxx Combo packs which contained three 10-card '88 packs. It is important to note the combo packs contain cards from all three printings of this set. The Cover Card from this set was produced with two different descriptions located in the yellow starburst on the front of the card. The cover card in the factory sets reads "100 Collector cards...", while the cover card in the shrink-wrapped packs shows "10 Collector cards...". The scarce nature of this set is attributable to the ten variations which it contains. Reportedly 10,000 of the Myrtle Beach sets were produced. The cards listed below are the ten Myrtle Beach variations. [Collapse]
