Vintage Racing?

[Beansballcardblog]

I want to own just one card from this set, but it's not been on my radar, yet. Have you seen other recent sales that might be more accurate? Not following them, I'm not too surprised to see $356 (for a PWCC auction), but I may be off base.

A PSA 4 Petty that was part of a lot that also included cards of Mario Andretti, Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna sold for $270 a couple months ago at Love of the Game auctions. That sale probably puts the Petty card at more realistic $125-150 valuation, IMO.

If you are just looking for a random card from the 1972 STP set, Buddy Baker and Elmo Langley are your best bet. That are, by far, the most common cards in the set and can be found in the $20-25 range if you keep your eye out on eBay. Don't pay $50+ for a Baker or Langley card that has been sitting on eBay for a while. Those two drivers do come up at cheaper prices on eBay fairly frequently. A couple Bakers even went for under $15 in recent months.

I agree with Eddie, the $356 seems strong. But I think the Love of the Game lot was very low (and overlooked/missed) for the cards included.

Maybe the STPs are starting to catch some of the major sport craze going on right now.

Hey Eddie, I just found this. The PSA 4 from the LOTG auction sold on ebay for $400 on 5/24. Wow, maybe we are behind the times on the values of these cards.

Oh, jeez. That used to be my card. At one point, I had three Petty cards from buying different lots trying to put a set together. I received a PM from a member on here a couple years ago asking if I had an extra Petty. I am pretty sure I sold it for $125. I missed it getting resold on eBay. Some profit and three free cards to boot from the auction price at LotG.

A few more months and the Schaefer 500 cards should be going for $100 each.

I was watching the four different lots of T36 auto drivers that were auctioned off last night at vintagenonsports.com, but did not put in any bids. I wish I would have picked up a set of T36s a few years ago, before the prices escalated.

The four lots at auction last night were broken down by factory and brand. I am not a condition snob, but so many of those cards last night were really in rough shape. Altogether, 132 cards were sold in the four lots. I 'd like to pick up a basic 25-card set; there was just so much rattiness and extraneous cards in those lots last night.

I know Lancia is tough in the T36s, but wow. A Lancia PSA 4 just sold for $143 on eBay a few weeks ago. LOL When I saw your post, I figured it was an Oldfield card.

Yeah, this one popped up for me. I just wanna know what that guy is on.

I completely missed out on these and hate myself for it. Even in rough shape, a couple of the lots ended at under $10 a card (I don't know what the BP is there, though), which is a steal considering how these cards have sold the last handful of year.

Then again, I say that as a guy that's not a condition freak. When it comes to cards like this, I just want the cards (at the right price).

I'm going to be beating myself up for weeks, maybe months, over missing out on these.
