*********************************************************
2011 Press Pass Wheels Main Event is a mid-range product that will deliver that "lotto ticket" thrill and still leave you something to show for it. Starting off with perfect collation I pulled a complete base set and not a single duplicate card form the whole box. My bonus pack yielded the red parallel. The autograph is on card. The base set is broken down into six subsets. The driver cards are in alphabetical order by last name. The only real con I have for 2011 Wheels Main Event is the grey scale background. It actually makes the cards look kind of the same and really dark feeling.
The Bottom Line:
I give 2011 Press Pass Fan Fare a buy rating. A complete set per box is always nice. The hits, inserts and parallels to chase are all pluses. Go buy a box and trade your Jr. cards to me!
The Final Score:

Press Pass sent me this box to review for Baseball Digest. I am also offering the base and insert cards to members of The Bench for a SASE.
Thanks to Press Pass for making this review possible!
