Vintage Racing?

[Bored5000]

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.

Whoa, that 5.5 is nice! I hope he auctions it off. I have the T36 set and am not going for a master set. I am trying to gradually upgrade. I was watching Tom's auction, and almost bid, as the factory 30's are tough, but I just didn't need all those dupes. Rob

I'm the buyer of all 4 "ratty" T36 lots last night. This series is really hot in any condition right now. I could not pass-up building my inventory as you rarely find these in quantities like this. There are happy buyers on both ends of the quality spectrum.

Glad to see a board member pick up the T36s. I apologize if I offended with my earlier comment; that was not my intent at all. I am largely a low grade collector myself, so I should not have been so flippant.

No offense taken. I actually thought it was pretty funny.

Congrats, Jeff....you got a steal.

Interesting that you mentioned that Factory 30s are tough. Is this something that others have noticed and/or is this a widely held view?

I have the complete front run and have 58 of 100 backs.

I had noticed that I had less 30s, but it wasn't an alarming difference. My set breakdown (I have eight multiples that I'm not counting in these numbers):

Hassan 30 - 10
Hassan 649 - 17
Mecca 30 - 13
Mecca 649 - 18

I love seeing some new names in the thread with an interest in the set (even if it's costing me more and taking me more time LOL).

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.
