after the recent victory for Jeff Gordon (Number 80),
I went thru a bunch of NASCAR Stuff I have stashed away,
and found this little gem:

and this set:

did Jeff ever drive a craftsman truck series race?

I only recall him being a part owner of a truck....

Michael

i got the car and truck set also.
but, not the card. nice.
i do have a cup set that was put out in i think 1997. you had to have gordons winston cup card. and he won the championship. so you sent in the card for this set. it's really nice.

I have the 1995 Championship car:

The Chroma Premier is his best paint job.... I don't collect him, but I had to have that one.

Michael

here's some gordon things. a few of many. 1996 rainbow warriors, rcca.
winners circle stuff. note the difference in the lifetime series #6 of 6. they are side by side one has the 24 car in the photo card, the same #6 of 6 has the jeff gordon photo with the mustache. also gordon and hendricks in the truck racing champs item. and some other racing champs, and a team authentics.

a few more items. cup chase set from 1997. cards.....

also the jack daniels clint boyer car 1996 rookie.

I gotta find a Jack Daniels car...

Michael

get in good with a liquor store. i don't drink. but, know some people that run the liquor dispensary. could get ton's of stuff. but have no room or use. i picked this up for free a couple weeks ago. they get loads of freebies for liquor car sponsers.

Quit drinking 7 years ago... I'll have to search eBay now.

Michael

i haven't drank any adult beverages in 16 years. i just know the folks running this dispensary. i let them know i was interested in some memorabilia. i've gotten some neat items. have the jack daniels dave blaney from 2005 and got it auto. at dover. it was also a freebie from the store. had several clint boyer "jack" hoods (26" x 36") the store hung, and some standups. but just couldn't handle the room they took up. so, i sold those.

Space is the worst enemy for a Nascar collector..... It all adds up when you start collecting things other than cards and 8 x 10's. Have ya had a chance to check out the Beckett collection post? There was a guy w/ a TON of autographed 1/24's. Think of the space he has use to display all that!

Michael

That was because he hadn't met his money grubbing first wife yet ;)

I have the 1995 Championship car:

I have that one too, only mine is autographed by Jeff. :thumbsup:

I also have the sports ilustrated magazine he was on the cover of from back then, also signed by Jeff.

And I have that two car truck/car pack, and a few others, like these...

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o150/MudSlinger_Pics/For%20Sale%20or%20Trade/DSC00851.jpg

The two pack, and the three in the last pic are actually for sale, if anyone is interested shoot me a pm.

I believe Scott Lagasse drove that #24 Dupont truck. Then Jack Sprague drove it when it changed to Quaker State. I guess.

Sorry but I think I may have the REAL Jeff Gordon Rookie? :p
