Vintage Racing?

I think that was the Kulwicki he bought. Even if it is a steep price, if it's a piece you can't often find and it's the only one that you need, sometimes you pay what you have. Kinda like the STP cards, what if you never see one again? Like the guys on American Pickers say, if it's something you've never seen, now is the time to buy.

I have some more of these coming in the next couple of weeks, but I thought I'd share this. It's a blog post (my card blog) about my 1911 T36 (ATC Auto Drivers) Ralph DePalma.

. . . this gentleman has a pretty decent collection of both vintage
and current Indy Car racing autographs.

I discovered that website a couple years ago, and that collection truly is amazing. I remember looking at nearly all the examples shown on that site, especially the drivers from the early days of the 500.

Funny you should mention that site. A Ray Harroun autograph on a '61 Indy ticket stub closed above $1,000 in an eBay auction a couple weeks ago. From what I have read in the past, Harroun was brought back to the track that year to honor him on the 50th anniversary of his win. I know that Harroun is an iconic name from winning the first 500 (controversy over whether or not he really did win the 1911 500 aside), but I was surprised to see the auction close above $1,000. He lived until 1968, so his autograph is not as impossible as some of the winners who died shortly after their wins in the 1920s.

Here is a cool video I found a while ago -- A.J. Foyt and Ray Harroun on "I've Got a Secret" in 1961. "Mr. X's" secret was that he had just won the '61 Indianapolis 500 a few weeks earlier. "Mr. Y's" secret was that he won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911.
