auto racing cards

[Bored5000]

I watched with interest the autographed Joe Weatherly postcard that ended last Saturday on eBay. At just $106, the final auction price seemed very low to me. I fully realize that autographs on eBay are a scammer's paradise. But I think the autograph was good after comparing it with the few other examples that could be found online.

I thought that would be a $300-400 item. Weatherly autographs are very tough. He was the NASCAR Cup series champion in 1962 and 1963, then died in a January 1964 Riverside (Cal.) crash.

The numbers just aren't there on early NASCAR stuff; even the best items just do not sell for much. Kinda nice for a collector but disappointing if you plan to make a profit with it.

Once in a while it goes well with PSA.

Nice. That looks to be a tough one to get centered like that.

I'm not really a Nascar guy, but that ones been on my wish list for awhile. I've got a bunch of the 88' sets with his card in it and some of his 91" Trax cards (1st Nascar issue), but never sprang for an 87'.

Price has come down quite a bit in the last year or so, so I might start looking around for a nice "9".
