Shockwave, the 3 jet engine Peterbilt semi was there and every time he burped the throttle, it felt like someone was thumping you in the chest.

I saw that last night, couldn't believe it, you were just talking about it. Sad news indeed.

I know. Somewhat freaky for sure.

Is there some scandal with Schumacher? His PSA 9 RC which not long ago was over 200 just sold under 100.

I think the markets getting saturated. It’s turning out to be a much more common set then people anticipated a couple years ago. Like most early 90’s issues in all sports, there’s been lots of overstock of this uncovered.

I think the market is just softening due to the economy and recession fears. The 1992 Grid set was worth very little up until a year or two ago. Even the Topps 2020 F1 cards, which just kept rising into the stratosphere, have had a noticeable pullback in recent months.

Here are a couple my NASCAR cards.

Not a card but close enough from the mid 70's of the Super Swede

Went the safe route on Verstappen.

Just got these back from SGC. I thought they really nailed me on the centering and the typical for this issue print bleed at the top, for the Senna portrait, while I thought they would hit me harder for the black borders on the Verstappen.

I have always liked the Senna portrait from that set. That is such a neat image. I know the card is not rare, but it is so cheap compared to some of the other early Senna cards/stickers with an image that isn't great.

On another topic, some of the Goldin results seemed really strong to me. I was shocked by $1,440 by the Nico Rosberg Futera card. Rosberg only has one world title and does not have a huge collector base, so that price surprised me.

Also, the $3,120 for the Senna signed program seemed very strong. Given the choice, I would rather have a signed card or photo.

Yeah, it's a pretty good shot.

I thought this 1984 Senna panel in the Goldin auction was interesting. I haven't seen one in that strong condition before.

Anyone know the earliest racing cards ever made?

If we are talking cards in actual sets, I think the 1901-02 Ogdens and 1908 Felix Potin cards may be the answer. Both are massive sets and include some racing cards. The 1911 T36 Auto Drivers set is the most mainstream early American set.
