Even a beat up Andretti rookie sticker by itself would attract more action starting at a dollar.

There's a Perforated one in an SGC holder on Ebay, but it just doesn't look right to me.

Might be a legitimate commemorative or reprint issue from Panini, but I doubt it's from 1969/70.

I think the albums had an ad sheet that included 2(?) sample cards.

Yeah, that's what it looks like according to the text on the tabs. Question is, were they issued in the 69/70 album, or are they commemoratives issued in a more recent album?

Issued/inserted in the original albums.

I don't think the reprint sets/albums included something similar.

Here's an example

This isn't the first time a Prost rookie sticker has been posted in this thread, but here is a recent pick up for me. Prost is destined to be forever "undervalued," given his resume. I picked this up for under $60. That just seems crazy for the rookie sticker of a four-time F1 champion.

Nice pick-up. I thought I saw Prost cards finally starting to pick up some steam a little while back, but maybe that was short lasting.

I think F1 cards in general are starting to come back down to earth. The 2009 Top Trumps Hamilton seems to be trading at a fraction of the price it did a year or two ago.

I don't really play around with any of the newer Topps releases outside of the cheaper Match Attax cards, so maybe the newer shinier stuff is still getting lots of interest, but the vintage stuff seems to be definitely on the way back down.
