Shockwave, the 3 jet engine Peterbilt semi was there and every time he burped the throttle, it felt like someone was thumping you in the chest.

I saw that last night, couldn't believe it, you were just talking about it. Sad news indeed.

I know. Somewhat freaky for sure.

Is there some scandal with Schumacher? His PSA 9 RC which not long ago was over 200 just sold under 100.

I think the markets getting saturated. It’s turning out to be a much more common set then people anticipated a couple years ago. Like most early 90’s issues in all sports, there’s been lots of overstock of this uncovered.

I think the market is just softening due to the economy and recession fears. The 1992 Grid set was worth very little up until a year or two ago. Even the Topps 2020 F1 cards, which just kept rising into the stratosphere, have had a noticeable pullback in recent months.

Here are a couple my NASCAR cards.

Not a card but close enough from the mid 70's of the Super Swede

Went the safe route on Verstappen.

Just got these back from SGC. I thought they really nailed me on the centering and the typical for this issue print bleed at the top, for the Senna portrait, while I thought they would hit me harder for the black borders on the Verstappen.

I have always liked the Senna portrait from that set. That is such a neat image. I know the card is not rare, but it is so cheap compared to some of the other early Senna cards/stickers with an image that isn't great.

On another topic, some of the Goldin results seemed really strong to me. I was shocked by $1,440 by the Nico Rosberg Futera card. Rosberg only has one world title and does not have a huge collector base, so that price surprised me.

Also, the $3,120 for the Senna signed program seemed very strong. Given the choice, I would rather have a signed card or photo.

Yeah, it's a pretty good shot.

I thought this 1984 Senna panel in the Goldin auction was interesting. I haven't seen one in that strong condition before.
