auto racing cards

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.

Guys..........I picked up this Lewis Hamilton team promo card from 2007 today at a local card show. I would grade it about VG-EX and the price was reasonable. I can't find the exact issue when searching online, but found a couple similar ones. It measures 8.25"x almost 4". Does anyone have any more info on this issue? Thanks in advance........Matt

That's a neat card. I think a lot of card collectors ignore the racing team promo cards, ad cards and postcard type releases...I know I'm guilty of this for the most part, but a part of me thinks I should expand my search a bit and make things a little more interesting.

It's not a Lampo but it's not bad.

The '66 Panini is a great image of Clark, and it is still accessible at a reasonable price.

Here are a couple recent pick ups. I love the obscure and different. This Hamilton card from the 2022 Topps Industry Conference seems really cheap for a Hamilton card with only around 60 examples produced.

I also picked up this 1946 Omnia Sport rookie of Alberto Ascari. The card is paper thin and very tiny, noticeably smaller than a T206 or most tobacco cards. But there are not a whole lot of options for early Ascari cards. He was 1952 and '53 Formula 1 champion, then was killed in 1955 testing at Monza on a day he was not even scheduled to be in a racecar.

I did not realize Clark had a card from 1962 but there is one in PWCC now. A pinhead shot for sure.
