NascardRadio

NasCardRadio Episode 160: The guys review last week’s Kansas Speedway Craftsman Truck Series (Christian Eckes), Xfinity Series race (John Hunter Nemechek) and Cup (Tyler Reddick) winners, highest finishing rookies (Taylor Gray, Parker Retzlaff and Ty Gibbs) and their rookie trading cards. Next, the guys cover the IndyCar Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey winner Scott Dixon and 2023 IndyCar Champion Alex Palou and their rookie cards. In the next segment the guys revisit the 1989 TG Maters of Racing set. Review the different series and how they were sold. The color photographs used for the set were taken by the same person who produced some of the early NASSCAR trading cards and the Racing Pictorial magazine. Most of the photography taken at racing events were in black and white for newspaper photos. These color photos are rare and provide a complete color history spanning 1959-1986. Finally, the guys wrap up the show with some groovy eBay auctions in ‘The Kings Court’. #thehobby #tradingcards
