Ever since 2006 MA has been nothing but bull anyway. They had a few good card....like Keselowski's Blue Angel, plain version goes over $200 on eBay.
They need to look out, CFS is coming, and I think their diecast is better too!

everyone kinda knows that Nascar thought it was more popular than it really is and goofed up-this was part of it-they overproduced everything when the sport had its mini boom and now they got all this merch they cant sell and had to dump (mostly Dale Jr stuff) and it especially dont help that he isnt winning either-hes the merch peoples golden goose. Its supply and demand-just like econ class told me-they are still trying to recover from their greediness.

It's interesting to see this article. Let me explain.
I've been collecting cards since 1977 and following NASCAR about the same time but I didn't start collecting NASCAR til 1999. When I started, I wanted everything possible of Tony Stewart - cards, diecast, hats, shirts, etc. At one point, I had practically one of every diecast paint scheme Tony had raced. I realized that there were too many paint schemes, too many versions, too much money, and too little room to effectively collect it all. I then decided to just collect what I liked.
Fact is, all too often, I don't like alot of the paint schemes for any of my drivers. Diecast has become less and less a part of my collecting and I can do without stuff. It doesn't bother me not to have one of everything and I can live with that. Unfortunately, many of us NASCAR fans feel like that we have to have it all. Unless you have unlimited room in the house, a spouse who doesnt mind all your "toys" cluttering up your house, and a lot of money, it's not practical to have it all.
I think what's been missing from NASCAR and all collecting regardless what it is sports/non-sports etc is the fun. I started collecting as a kid because it was fun. At some point in my teenage years, it became an obsession. Now in my 40's, it's become fun again because I set my own rules for collecting.
