Barring a huge market crash, I am probably destined to stay stuck at 12/25 on the T36 Auto Drivers set. I always thought the set was undervalued at $50 or so a card, but I never would have guessed there would enough interest in drivers largely unknown to most collectors to drive prices to $500-1,000 a card.

I picked up 10 packs of the Parkside Pacific IndyCar set last year because I wanted to support a company producing modern IndyCar cards. I know the modern parallels are just a gimmick, but I was a bit disappointed by how horrendous the collating was in that some buyers were hitting 1/1s in almost every pack they ripped. The autograph cards are pretty nice, though.
Hope all is well! Good to know that some people are listening to their show.

I was excited when it was announced Parkside was going to start making Indycar cards. The base set is a bit underwhelming, but I really liked the first Pacific Indianapolis 500 set they did. Interested to see what the base cards look like for the upcoming release. The previews have only shown the autographed cards.
