Other than some super obscure Fangio cards or discs that will sell for $1,000+, that is just about the earliest mainstream Fangio to have (AFAIK). He does have some other 1952 options, but I think the Chocolat L'Aiglon is the best looking. As for the particular card you linked to, if you are patient, you will be able to pick up a cheaper copy on eBay at auction.
Maybe someone is reprinting them. Happens with soccer I understand. I guess they would tend to be higher grade though if that were the case?
