The guys review last week’s winners from the Talladega Superspeedway: Grant Enfinger in the Craftsman Truck Series, Sammy Smith in the Xfinity Series, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the Cup Series. They also discuss the highest finishing rookies, including Layne Riggs, Jesse Love, and Carson Hocevar, along with their rookie trading cards.
Next, the guys check out the latest on-demand cards from Topps Now F1 and address the lack of cards in the Topps Now F1 Archive section. They highlight the Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Panini Instant card from Talladega Superspeedway, featuring him climbing the fence, which is available on the Panini America site. The guys review this card and its parallels for sale.
Val recently received a redemption card and shares his story about what it was for and how it turned out. Finally, the guys wrap up the show with some exciting eBay racing card auctions in “The King’s Court.” #thehobby #tradingcards #panini

Finally back on the top of the leaderboard.

[@loganward6691]

Glad to see you put a qualifying setup in that thing!

[@charmcityautographs]

Really hoping that Val can get his cards signed. That’ll be a fun follow up to hear about.

[@nascardradio]

I was able to get it signed, Woo Hoo

[@loganward6691]

Yeah, me too! He’s been working hard at it!

[@LScottBoyes]

I only got a Tommy Joe Martins redemption card because TJM told me in person he has signed them and sent them back to panini.

[@nascardradio]

That's a pretty reliable source.

[@loganward6691]

That really helps when you know if they signed and returned their cards👍

[@tim26847]

Way to go Grant Enfinger!!!! Furst win for the CR7 team!!!! Byron did return some of the gold one I can confirm cuz I had the redemption and redeemed it back when I pulled it. I agree with you whole heartedly, the redemption policy is a joke. It's almost like playing those carnival games. Maybe they are working with Ty, teaching him how to write his name?

[@nascardradio]

It's hard to find two Ty Gibbs signatures that look the same

[@loganward6691]

Hoping TFG learns cursive and finally signs his freaking cards!

[@beansballcardblog]

re: the Earnhardt Pro Set sig in King's Court I wonder of on these non pack pulled autos if people are willing to overpay what a "normal" signature would go for because they want that particular one signed for a set and just want to have it.

[@nascardradio]

You make a good point. Autograph set projects could be the reason.

[@loganward6691]

I would say maybe because the like the card. I know I’ve done that in the past👍

[@kylekaatz3258]

Enjoyed the show guys! I feel Val's pain, I had the same William Byron red redemption and got 150 points. The points are really annoying, Panini should make shipping 100% free! And also points should be redeemable towards boxes.

[@nascardradio]

I love the points towards boxes idea!

[@loganward6691]

I love the points for boxes idea. SMRT👍

[@skidmarkxcards]

The redemption process stinks. You never know if you will ever get it. Imagine a first time buyer who loves nascar going out and trying a box of cards just to get a redemption. Then not even getting the redemption but instead those lousy points that don’t even amount to much. It’s a total letdown for new and old members of the hobby. Congrats to the winner of that Carl Edwards’s GOLD!

[@beansballcardblog]

Paninis Points system is terrible. Ad Im with you....we need LESS autographs. Make boxes cheaper again and autographs special again.

[@loganward6691]

Yeah, make it like Upper Deck did back in the day where it was something crazy like one in six boxes
