From about
1998 through 2010-ish I was a regular racing collector. I continued to pick up
the occasional NASCAR blaster for a few more years but I only watch a race or
two each season now, so I am no longer an active collector. But because racing
sets include some of the coolest relics, I still will pick up a couple of cards
a year.
In last year’s
COMC Black Friday order I had three NASCAR cards. A 1998 Upper Deck Road To The
Cup- Winning Material Dale Jarrett piston ring/fire suit dual relic. This card was a gift for my son, he is a total gear head and loves the piston ring in a card.
A 2013 Press
Pass Redline- Muscle Car Memorabilia Jeff Burton sheet metal relic
A 2009
Wheels Main Event- Stop & Go Pit Sign Scott Speed sign relic.
I do like NASCAR relics as well. Was a big Jeff Burton guy. Cool cards. I'm a Kyle Busch guy now and will be rooting for him this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAuto racing sure does lend itself to the relic market - much more unique (and inexpensive) material to pull from than stick and ball sports. I too was an active NASCAR fan in the early aughts, but I've since shifted most of my focus over to Indy Car. I still check in every now and then though.
ReplyDeleteLove the piston ring card! Lucky you saw it before I did, or I likely would have gotten that one.
ReplyDeleteCool cards, bad placement of the patch though on the Jarrett card.
ReplyDeleteI've never had any interest in racing, but I do appreciate the awesomeness of the relics, and do enjoy seeing them when they pop up on the blogs from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! They definitely take memorabilia cards to another level. Love the ingenuity of each one.
