Any of you racing enthusiasts ever do anything with collecting midget racers? Back in 1936 various papers around the country printed what were called Sports Stamps in them that included pictures and short bios of various sports athletes of the day. One paper, the Los Angeles Examiner, included midget race car drivers as part of their Sports Stamps series. Wondered if anyone else had ever seen or collected these.

Pre World War II, many of the top Midget drivers in the country progressed to big cars and eventually made it to Indy.

I've not heard of them either, but would be interested to learn. There's a chance that some Indianapolis drivers might be included.

Sooo...did anyone here win any of the five T36 lots that just ended on eBay?
I bid on two of them, but not very hard. I was the underbidder on the 10 card lot, but only needed two of them. Pretty surprised how much the smaller lots went for. -kin

I am putting together a T36 set, but I did not make any bids. Even the small lots had what would have been doubles for me, so I let the auctions pass. Prices have been climbing on T36s; the 10-card lot was a pretty nice deal for someone at $13 a card.

They did get a deal on that ten card lot. I just wish I'd needed more than two of them. I don't regret not going higher, though. The other lots had ones I needed, but many appeared trimmed and one of the ones I needed had what appears to be a cigarette burn on the back.
Prices are definitely climbing and in truth, it pisses me off. Why are people all of a sudden interested in the set and driving up prices? I wish I'd found out about this set 20 years ago instead of seven years ago.
