I got a few in the mail and thought I would share. A different insert set from Press Pass. Hopefully other closet Racing fans will post their recent pickups as well.

2008 Press Pass Garage Graphs Insert Set - For the non NASCAR guys these are the crew chiefs (The guys that make the call on pit stops, gas, # tires etc..)

Chad Knaus
Knaus has 59 victories as Jimmie Johnson's crew chief and is the only NASCAR crew chief to win five consecutive championships
image

Greg Zipadelli
He is currently the competition director at Stewart-Haas Racing. Zipadelli is most notable for being the crew chief of the #20 The Home Depot car for Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Tony Stewart and Joey Logano from 1999 to 2011. He has won 34 races and two championships in 2002 and 2005 as a crew chief.
image

Steve Letarte
He is currently employed at Hendrick Motorsports as the crew chief for the No. 88 Diet Mountain Dew/National Guard Chevrolet driven by Dale Earnhardt, Jr.. He first began as crew chief for Jeff Gordon when he took over the job of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet from Robbie Loomis in September 2005.
image

Tony Eury, Jr.
He is the crew chief for the Swan Racing Company #30 David Stremme, and former crew chief of JR Motorsports #7 Go Daddy Chevrolet Impala driven by Danica Patrick and Kelly Bires in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Eury had been the head of Hendrick Motorsports Research and development group but, previous to that, he served as crew chief for Dale Earnhardt, Jr., his cousin on his mother's side. Eury is the son of veteran crew chief Tony Eury, Sr.

    Here's three post"cards" I picked up last week.

    Dave Marcis with his 1979 K&K Insurance #71 car
    image

    Benny Parsons in 1979 standing beside his #27 car
    image

    Fred Lorenzen beside his 1967 Ford Fairlane prepared by Holman and Moody of Charlotte, NC
    image

    Maybe we can open this up to cards AND memorabilia?
    Looking to buy/trade for any Holman Moody (NASCAR) related items you may have.

    Not really recent but these are my 2 best racing cards. The andretti was a raw purchase from Italy that arrived loose sandwiched between 2 index cards... Then was signed through ttm an the card still somehow survived all of that to get a 9. Sorry for the crummy scan but its all I had already in photo bucket

    1969 Panini Mario Andretti signed

    1972 Stp Richard Petty

    If you want to know how stock car racing started (Before NASCAR) and how NASCAR was born this is a MUST read or listen.

    This is the audio book version. I read the paperback and Buz has a great voice so I had to get this one (10 CD's).

    1990 AC Racing Proven Winners Set:

    This 7 card black bordered set features drivers sponsored by the AC Racing team. The cards were given away as complete sets and included six top drivers and one unnumbered checklist card. The Proven Winners name is included on the back of the checklist card. The cards were distributed as a promotion given out at many of NASCAR speedways.
    Beckett Vol. 4 (1999)

    The cards are not signed but have a space on the back where they could be signed. I picked this baby up on eBay.

    The Earnhardt has been signed on the front and the back.

    Here is what the sealed set looks like. They use to go for big money back in the early 90's as you can see from the price tag.

    Agreed!

    I didn't realize until I looked at my scan that 3 of the 4 are named Bobby. Weird.

    Some TTM action today:

    Ray Fox who just turned 97 last month. He has been named as one of the 25 NASCAR HOF Nominees but has not been selected yet.

    Raymond Lee Fox, Sr. (5/28/1916) is a retired American engine builder, NASCAR car owner and NASCAR engine inspector. His cars won 14 NASCAR Grand National (now Sprint Cup) events and 16 pole positions.

    Mr. Fox is one of the last of the living legends from the early days of NASCAR.

    Nice andretti card. It seems to me that his cards are very cheap considering how recognizable his name is. His 1969 Panini usually only sells for about 30-50 bucks. I think that's pretty cheap for a rookie card of one of the biggest names in the sport

    Agreed. I don't really follow 4-wheel racing, either open-wheel or left-turn, but I do know the big names nonetheless. I acquired the Andretti among a near-set of Quelcom I picked up a while back. The regular Panini is in the price range you mention, but the Valida-Back Panini sells for a bit more.

    Not much of a Race Card buyer, but bought (2) boxes (6 packs total) of '12 Showcase from Blowout Cards a few weeks ago. 2 Race Used and 1 Autograph in each box...

    The best Race-Used was this...

    I picked this signed 2000 SP Authentic Short Print card up cheap. It's a rookie card with an early signature which looks like the 2000 Sign of the Times above.

    I guess for you non-racing guys it’s the equivalent of picking up a signed 2000 SP Authentic Tom Brady!
