Those cards are cool. I would keep them as they represent racing history. Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to post a couple of autographed items to this thread that I just received.

An autographed 8x10 of several Midget Auto Racers and Owners from probably the 40's, and an autographed program from the late 40's of HoF racer Bill Schindler. Bill is one of only 3 drivers to participate in the Indy 500 with a prosthetic leg. Unfortunately he died in a race crash in 1952.

This is a very nice item

Very nice item. But I still like the one with multiple signatures the most

Neat items, Gonefishin. I live in Pennsylvania, so I have always been familiar with Bill Schindler's history. The East Coast ARDC Midget club dates back to 1940 and Schindler was their first champion.

Hey Eddie, I made a couple of decisions on the autographed photo and the Bill Schindler autograph.

I made a few decisions on the next steps with the 2 items pictured. I contacted Brian Caruso who's grandfather signed the photo with the multiple autographs. He has a racing museum in Las Vegas, Caruso's Museum. I'm donating the photo to him for display.

I'm taking the Schindler autographed program to PSA on Friday at the Long Beach Expo and having it certified.

I have given the Dodge Brothers picture to m son-in-law for him to enjoy.

I feel good about spreading the wealth!

Please be careful using PSA for vintage autographs, they have made a number of mistakes recently.

I took a few of my photos to PSA at the Long Beach Expo. I was able to turn in the Schindler program for authentication, which came back as authentic. PSA actually had him in their master data base and the fee was only $20, so I was very happy.

Unfortunately, I couldn't turn the vintage photos in and have to mail them to NJ. Since I haven't had a good experience with time return from NJ I am a little hesitant, but hope to get them in the mail this week.

Very nice, Jim. I enjoy seeing your pick ups.
