auto racing cards

Finally found a Jackie Stewart. Not a great card due to the pose, but if you have to have the rookie.

Some unopened packs I've restrained myself from opening up (so far).

#1. 1980 Panini "F1 -Grand Prix" packs. Not as glamourous as the mid-80's sets (ie. no Senna), but still very neat.

#2. 1984 Galp Energy "Formula 1 - Grand Prix" packs. Portuguese issue similar to Panini's

Notable in that this contains a very early Ayrton Senna card on the Toleman team. I believe the earliest card of him in a released set that just features him and not his car or part of a perforated panel with another driver.

Example (not mine):

Very cool 1948 Fangio. There are not a whole lot of great options when it comes to early Fangio, Ascari and Farina cards. We discussed the 1958 SADA earlier in the thread. The SADA has a neat image of Fangio. But yours is much earlier, of course.

I haven't looked lately, but there was a Galp Senna with a big BIN on eBay for a long time. WIth how much early Senna stickers have taken off over the past year or two, I wonder what that would go for in an auction.

The one I pictured is the one on EBay.

I've been interested in picking up an Andretti RC for quite awhile and recently couldn't pass this one up.

Nice pick up, Matt. Like a lot of cards, the 1969 Panini Andretti has come down in price in recent months. I think a PSA 7 Mario rookie is a great hold long term.

I am excited to pick up this 1994 Futera Ayrton Senna tribute card. I have wanted one for a while, but they almost never show up anymore. The card is numbered to 500, but they were only released in Australia (AFAIK). I picked it up from an Australian seller on eBay who said he had the card since its release.

I also like the biography of Senna on the back of the card.
