I'm glad it's the weekend, even though it already feels like the weekend is too short. I don't have much to talk about today, so I guess I'll just get straight to the cardboard.
I probably got this card on eBay. This post was originally scheduled for April 30th, 2017, so it's been a while since I acquired it. It's a Pairings Materials card from 2016 Panini Torque, featuring tire swatches from Tony Stewart and Danica Patrick. This is the Red parallel, numbered # 26 / 49.
Both racers are retired from NASCAR now. I haven't really been following NASCAR much this year. I never really latched onto another driver now that all of my favorites are off the circuit, so we'll see where things go from here. I don't have any proof as far as numbers go, but I think my Danica Patrick collection might be my biggest player collection across all sports, especially when it comes to hits. R.A. Dickey and Jon Singleton might be close, and I probably have more of their autographs than I have signatures for Danica, but I bet it's pretty close. One of these decades I'll actually get my cards sorted and maybe I'll find out for sure.
I'm too anal to not have cards sorted. Ha! I have to have all my sets and cards in binders so I know what I have. Cool card....yeah, I haven't been following NASCAR this year much. I did go to the Richmond race though.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get my life together like that. I've started organizing my collection many times, but I never get past a box or two of cards.
DeleteI gave up on Nascar years ago. The chase made it no longer interesting for me. I was once a Stewart fan
ReplyDeleteI do kind of feel like the Chase makes things less interesting.
DeleteThose tire swatches are really nice. I originally thought they were from a fire suit or maybe race used seats. This post made me wonder what my largest player collection is. I'm gonna say Gwynn... but the race for 2nd biggest is tight.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what my biggest collection is. I would guess that I still have more Hakeem Olajuwon cards, but when it comes to impressive autographs and relics, it's probably Danica Patrick.
