Here are some of my older Earnhardt cards in my collection. Thought I would share some pics. Hope ya'll enjoy seeing them as much as I have collecting!!! Thanks for looking!!!
1994 Highland Mint (Bronze, Silver & Gold). The cards are each encased in a thick lucite holder and these come in there own little "books". This includes the 'card' which is a sculpted 'metal' card that is a copy of the 1994 VIP card #10 Dale Earnhardt card. Each card comes with a certificate of authenticity and each are serial numbered.
1994 Highland Mint Bronze #'d of 5,000 produced.

1994 Highland Mint Gold #'d of 500 produced.

These are the 1996 VIP Dale Earnhardt Firesuit cards. There were two cards per set (DE1 & DE2), andthey came in 4 different foil colors for a total of 8 cards. They are not serial numbered, but were a real pain to put together a set of them. Not sure exactly how many of each card were actually produced. BUT... with somewhat high pull ratios... I'm not guessing there are a bunch of these sets out there. lol The pull ratios were as follows:
Silver Foil 1:384 packs
Gold Foil 1:512 packs
Blue Foil 1:2,048 packs *
Green Foil 1:6,144 packs *
*Blue & Green Foils were in WalMart ONLY retail packs.

Here are my 1997 SB Racing IQ Remarques of Dale & Richard Childress. I collect ANY & ALL cards for my Dale Earnhardt collection provided that either Dale, or his car appears on the front or back of any card. That is the reason for the Richard Childress cards included here.
Below you will find 3 cards for each of them. To make the set complete there should be 4 verisions of each card. I currently am missing the FINISHED verision of both cards (#'d of 570) that were pack pulled cards, but someday I will have them in my collection.... I hope!
However, what makes two of each of these cards rare is that there were 15 Artist Proof cards (serial #'d of 15 for each) produced by Sam Bass and were released, to high volume dealers as a "Thank You" incentive for high sales volume. I've never been able to confirm or deny this info. However, since I have heard things like this have happened before, I have to believe it's true. I was very fortunate to find THREE OF THE FOUR cards with the SAME serial number! I would LOVE to find the fourth card someday!!!
Take note of the regular cards (#'d of 570) that differs from the AP cards (#'d on the back). BTW... the blank space in the pic is intentional... someday I hope to fill it!!!
