Formula 1 Show-Off Thread - Page 5

Just got this super cool card in the mail, is a 2006 Futera Grand Prix Memorabilia card of one and only Ayrton Senna, this card is made from porcelain, and is quite heavy. The mem piece features what looks like a piece of used tire.

Anyone familiar with this set, feel free to give any insight.

YES! I am in your club now! Beautiful Ham - hoping to have it on hand in a day or two...

Thank you! Still in shock! However that doesn't stop me buying more F1 Sapphire boxes. So much potential in this product

Putting the cards I showed off in other thread into this...

Today Matt of Blowoutcards TV and I had a great day!
Bought 4 boxes...
First box was decent.
Second box was good. Last pack / last card was a Hamilton #1
Third box got me this... #1 Hamilton Variation Gold Refractor #/50

Later a hour or so I decided to be greedy, and asked Matt to pick one of the two bottoms (there were two columns of boxes). Third box was picked by myself at the bottom... You know the drift...

4th box blew the water!

Verstappen #6 Red Refractor 2/5

Added Max (one of the cleaner autos I've seen of his) and Lando over the weekend.

My Gold Sapphire looks like a bum next to the Red LOL

excel_b · 07-01-2021, 10:15 AM

Show them off! I wanna see them no matter what! Love seeing us making a rainbow (next message - gold; second message - purple; then I will put Red...)

Maybe someone has the Max #6 Padparadscha 1/1 to show off???

Here’s an ongoing page from my F1 binder. I haven’t been this involved with a set release since 2018-19 Optic Basketball. This is collecting at it’s finest!

Dang!

Random question - doesn't page hurt the cards? Last time I used the card 6 card sleeved page (or whatever it's called) was back in high school...

Do I have a problem with that? Cards I have are either in soft sleeved + toploader or in boxes...

dcarado · 07-01-2021, 11:01 AM

Hate to break up the Verstappen party, but...

I use Card Guardian or VaultX binders from Amazon for all my cards/sets. They’re made to fit with a penny sleeve; side loading as well. Cards won’t come out - they’re fantastic!

Yup, home of F1 sapphire

I'll be updating with a few more soon.

Just returned from PSA today, very happy with the grade of this Gold Hamilton

Archangel1775 · 07-02-2021, 05:15 AM

Could you make the picture bigger? It's hard to see...oh wait, nm, I just need a second monitor

secretsix · 07-02-2021, 10:15 AM

Man, the cards posted on this thread are crazy! Makes me almost ashamed of posting what I have Lol. But I guess there should also be normal cards here to balance out the high end.

Here are some of my favorites to start my Charles Leclerc collection:

I have been buying singles since I started collecting F1 and so far, I haven't seen a card that I can confidently say would gem when graded. Is it sort of the same for those who broke boxes? Some of my purples are rough! Are you guys considering collecting raw (apart from the low numbered/valuable ones of course)?

That's PURDY on LeClerc, Secretsix...

I believe I have a LeClerc Red Sapphire... But not the original one; one of his inserts. Do you want to see it?
