Collect them all... Before the wall does

[Formula 409]

I picked this up from an article I was reading a couple of days ago at the peak of Indy hype:

(The IRL marketing department) added two managers to specifically deal with sponsors. It debuted the premier issue of IndyCar Series magazine this week. And next month, IRL trading cards will come out, produced by Pacific Trading Cards.

Trading cards. This is the silver bullet that will finally slay the dragon. ChampCar is doomed.

Anyway, what would these cards look like?... So I got to messing around with photoshop and started to noodle around a bit...

And so I give you: The 2004 Series Earl League Trading Cards!

So far, only full-timers get a card. There may be more in the future. Glad people like 'em - and yes, I have a lot of free time.

[CART T. Katz]

you should have a limited edition classics series. you definitely have to get dnfisher, donnie beechler and the kooky shigster in that set PLUS the beloved (and recently deposed) jenks.

[JLMannin]

Seriously, Pacific did trading cards for CART back in the early 90's. I have complete sets from 90 and 91, I think.

[Night Train]

Best thread ever!

[Madmaxfan2]

We need the sammich edition, Cards of ole Sammich in his fist fighting days. One photo in a dirt car at Springfield. A LeMans Edtion, Another in his Coyote Foyt days. Son and grandsons of Sammich. The chart of Futility, Plus a bonus, his Godson in an Indy Lights Car, whose secret identity will be revealed. Yes the Sammich edition is a must for every IRL fan, and if you hurry, a free enclosed packet of Kool-Aid for your drinking pleasure. And a super special bonus card with Jack Arute proclaiming the greatness of the IRL era. Yessir, folks, this is a must have. :gomer: :gomer:

[DjDrOmusic]

Outstanding!! We should pool our money and actually sell these, they would outsell the IRL version 20 to 1!! :D :rofl: :thumbup:

[lone_groover]

BEAUTIFUL!

Much, much betta than the I*L version.


:thumbup: :D

[dando]

Great work! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm a lil' disappointed that there's no DNFisher card. I mean she is the EARL's most popular driver. ;)

The real cards should be all the rage @ Big Lots during the holidays. :laugh:
