It has been been more than a year since there was a set of NASCAR trading cards. But the end of the drought is in sight. Today Panini America confirmed they were, indeed, getting in the racing card business. The announcement came during the company’s presentation at the 2016 Industry Summit in Hawaii.
Not a lot of specifics were given about products or release dates. However, the 2016 Panini NASCAR trading card lineup was revealed. A total of four sets will be released this year:
2016 Panini Prizm NASCAR
2016 Panini Torque NASCAR
2016 Panini Certified NASCAR
2016 Panini National Treasures NASCAR
As mentioned, no specifics were given as far as release dates go but the impression was given that Prizm would be the first set under the agreement.
The details were given during the company’s address that covered several topics and concluded with their Black Box presentations given to attendees.
There hasn’t been any racing cards since Press Pass went out of business in January, 2015.
