A well-founded concern, I'd say; IMO this does not look good:

Let’s go back to 1911.

Wow, Richard. that is a great looking Chevrolet. I have been stuck at 11/25 on a basic T36 driver set for a while now. They don't show up often on eBay anymore. Even the PSA 5.5 Lancia T36 that had been on eBay for a long time sold recently.

Hard to believe this was 24 yrs ago today.

The awfulest aspect of these skull fracture deaths is that they had the tech but not the will to mandate its implementation until after Dale Sr. got killed.

Not a card but close enough:



i picked up one of the Rose postcards over the weekend too but no scan yet.

The vintage Indy 500 tickets have fantastic graphics with bright colors and an eye catching 'streamlined' design from that era. A week from today, I'll be attending the 500 with my 15 y.o. son for his 1st time (my 4th). We're also going to attend the racing collectibles show while in town, so I'll post anything cool we find.

Attending the Indy 500 has been on my bucket list for a long time. Definitely let us know how the collectible show is. I have read some passing comments about it over the years, but would be interested in hearing another collector's viewpoint.

Have fun with your son. Many of the best memories of my life are of races I attended with my parents.

Sounds like fun, Matt. My bucket list racing event is the Monaco Grand Prix. Yeah, that's gonna happen...If you happen to see a Daytona International Speedway PC of the Bakers, i'd appreciate it if you could please get the seller's info and pass it on to me. I'd like to finish my set.

I thought that the Rose ticket was fun because it is one of the few tickets that shows the winner of that year's race, since he won back to back. I also picked up a 2002 Castroneves for the same reason:

I would also love to go to Monaco as well. Realistically, I may get to Indy in my lifetime; Monaco will never happen. Even by Formula 1 standards, the cost to go to the Monaco Grand Prix are eye-watering.

Looks like you could pull it off (as part of a France trip) for anywhere from about $200 for the worst seats on Sunday on up to $4,000 to go deluxe for three days. I've been pondering a retirement present of a trip to Lyon anyway, so I might just figure out how to work that trip around a GP weekend and make the trip to Nice for the weekend. My wife can visit Nice, and I can catch the train into Monaco for the GP each day.

Or I could just buy more cards

Bingo! Autograph is spot on too.

Bought this early Hamilton.

[Bored5000]

Great pick up, Peter. I think a lot of collectors are still not aware that those Czech magazine cards even exist, but PSA grading them will go a long way toward making more people aware that there are other early Hamilton options besides the Futera (which is out of reach price-wise for many collectors), Top Trumps and SIFK cards.

Are there any cards of David Pearson during his active years?
