Does anyone know what Mario Andretti's first official (PSA recognized) card is? I know he has some early 70's Panini cards but I am not sure what his first actual card is.

    Great thanks!! I have a feeling that 69 is going to be hard to find.

    A post card probably received at Charlotte after the race. The drivers used to give these out to fans. I believe that is an 69 Cyclone in the picture. Just thought you would like to see it.

    i was the one who actually won that ebay auction. The card was smaller than it looked in the scans.. but was in great condition. I'll be sending it to psa this month along with a few other panini rookies.. i feel like everything looks better in in a psa slab. i'll post some scans when i get them back.. i've been trying to pick up HOFers from sports other than the big four. It was too diffictult to determine what their true rookie was.. so i decided to just go with their early panini cards.. like the 1966 ali or 1964 pele.. still looking for 1970 arthur ashe and 1986 mike tyson
