My Album Of NASCAR Racing Insert Sports Cards
These pictures represent only a very small portion of my collection of 1000s of NASCAR related sports cards and collectibles. Let me know if you would like to see more of my collection.
I have over 1000 cards of my favorite driver, Jeff Gordon, alone including many rookie cards.
All of the cards pictured here are contained in one album of special cards called "insert cards". Often there are only one or two of these insert cards per pack of NASCAR sports cards and are sought after by collectors.
As you can see by these examples, insert cards are often a related series of colorful foil or acetate cards and are sometimes die-cut into interesting and appropriate shapes to evoke collector interest.
Many of the cards in my collection feature retired drivers as well as current racing super stars.
Some cards feature the different paint schemes of the cars.
Aside from the insert cards pictured here, I also own 1000s of regular issue cards.
These cards are part of the popular Rear View Mirror insert cards series.
I like the foil driver cards like these. They make an attractive display.
Octane is another popular insert series using foil to decorate the card.
For those interested in racing, cards are a good choice, especially if you don't have the room to display larger items such as die-cast cars or sheet metal.
Comment if you collect racing memorabilia. Hope you enjoyed these photos of my collection!
I wonder how much is that collection worth... did you ever check?
I would put the average value of the insert cards at between $1-$2 with some being more. I have several 1000 insert cards. Some rookie cards are worth considerably more and relic or autographed cards can be between 2 to 3 figures for popular drivers or rare cards. I also collect sheet metal slabs (pieces of the actual race car) A collection is only worth what someone is willing to pay ;)
WOW! Love the sheet metal parts.
How cool is that man, crazy!
I have quite a few sheet metal slabs.. not too many offer them now, it seems. I like to find ones that match if I can such as these from driver Danica Patrick.

I also have a 2014 Kyle Larson (Rookie of the Year) contingency panel but I don't have room for too many larger pieces.
