auto racing cards

On another topic, I was looking at Lauda cards today, other than the now prohibitive 74 Panini there don't seem to be any good options.

I think his 1975 Jenkki card from Finland is a good option. The image is neat, and it is still affordable. There is one currently listed on eBay for $250, but that is high. A Lauda Jenkki card sold at auction for $58 in May. Even though the title of the listing is 1974, that is actually a 1975 release. That Jenkki set has some F1 drivers that can be had fairly cheap.

I have been wrestling with whether or not I really want to pay up for a Lauda Vedettes card. Not that I want to see the entire economy collapse, but I do have some dry powder if the economy does hit a recession and sanity returns to card prices.

I don't like the image of him blocking up his ears. I may like you just wait and see if the Panini comes back to earth. The 1974 Keisa does nothing for me.

Oh one more I forgot to post. I THINK this is her first card but who knows.

I agree with you completely on the Keisa card. I try to stay away from images in which the driver is helmeted or action shots.. That is an issue with some of the early F1 options from the 1950s and '60s.

Yeah most of the Fangios until Top Flight are like that. There are some awful Jackie Stewarts.

I like Fangio's 1958 SADA. It is a big image of just him and can still be found for under $100.
