As the start of the 2024 INDYCAR season approaches, racing enthusiasts have even more reason to be excited. INDYCAR has announced a thrilling three-year partnership with Parkside Cards to create a brand-new trading card series. This collaboration, set to launch on March 1, promises fans an immersive experience filled with collectibles, contests, and giveaways that will truly enhance their race weekend enjoyment.
The INDYCAR Collection by Parkside will be available to fans at race events, in retail stores, and online. Parkside Cards aims to engage fans through various initiatives, offering redemption cards for signed memorabilia and a contest with a grand prize trip to the iconic Indy 500, among many other exciting opportunities.
Parkside Cards, known for its collections featuring the US Women’s National Soccer Team and the National Women’s Soccer League, is expanding its portfolio with this thrilling motorsport partnership. The INDYCAR Collection Hobby boxes, priced at $88.99 plus shipping, will contain 20 packs with eight cards each, ensuring that fans can anticipate receiving two autographed cards in every box. In addition, retail hanger packs will feature 25 cards, with an autographed card included in every 18th pack.
One unique feature of the collection is the inclusion of relic cards, which contain actual pieces of brick from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. These relic cards provide fans with an incredible tangible piece of racing history to add to their collections. The base set will include 162 cards, and collectors can also look forward to a 72-card Marquee Moments insert set, as well as thematic inserts such as Race Events, Pit Pass, and Indy NXT. Autographs from 27 different drivers will be available, with special Blue, Black, and 1/1 Gold parallels amplifying the collectability of the series.
