Indy Item of the Day: Old Trading Cards

Here are Dale Coyne and Chip Ganassi from the 1985 A&S Racing Collectables set. (Yes, that's how these folks spelled it.)

Who would've guessed that midway through the season that Coyne's team would have more wins than the mighty Ganassi outfit?

Chip could probably use an Old Milwaukee or three right about now. Looks like he's talking to Scott Brayton, but I can't be sure.

I have no idea where Coyne is in this photo.

I'm a collector

I collect just about anything related to the 500 and IndyCar racing: Yearbooks, programs, post cards, diecasts, decanters, autographs, T-shirts, media guides, newspapers, books, magazines, trading cards, bobble heads, plastic models, CDs, DVDs. I even have View Masters (remember those?) and a blow-up Goodyear blimp, which hovers serenely in my basement. I think the following sums up this mania best. Once, while at the Mailroom on 16^th Street I was looking over some items, and my mother told the owner, Frank Gilbert, “He’s been hooked on this since he was about 5.” “Well, there are a lot worse things to get hooked on,” was Frank’s response. Indeed. I love hearing from fellow collectors about their prizes and how they got them.
