I Love Vintage and Collectible Items

I love vintage and collectible items and so it was natural for me to start selling these items. I collect things (too many I think) and enjoy sharing these items with others. One nice benefit of selling is being able to buy items to add to my collection.  I have found it is often easier to buy then to sell but I am working on downsizing a bit.  I have been selling on eBay since 2000 and have listed many vintage items over the years.

I also enjoy hearing from buyers about the items I am selling and the story behind them. I sell a lot of vintage racing items and have often received notes about drivers, tracks and the memories they have of these places. It is interesting to hear the memories from other people about racing. Often people buy some of these items because they attended that track or their dad raced there. This is an example of vintage racing program book we have listed on eBay.




I think most vintage and collectible sellers are also preserving a bit of our history by sharing these items and having them go to a good home and not the landfill. So stop by today and check out my other vintage items on eBay.

Vintage 1969 Nascar Banquet Program

We have followed car racing ever since we were kids and still enjoy it today. This is a vintage Nascar Banquet Program that was held in Daytona Beach in 1969. The program is an original item that was given out at the banquet and has that year's winners pictured on the cover. There is also information and the events of the night inside the program.


Over the years a lot of these paper items didn't last so there are not many of these around. This one is in good condition and is listed on eBay this week for auction. You can check out the eBay listing for the rest of the pictures and information.

We have a lot of vintage racing items listed and they include all types of racing. You can check these out in our eBay store Book Corner Cafe n More and most all of our items include free shipping.

New 1987 Winston Cup Media Guide

I have a friend who has been around racing for a very long time starting with racing on the beach in Daytona. He has boxes of racing items and now has decided to downsize and I have been listing those items for him and what a treasure of racing history. He was a racer, promoter, press person and wore many other hats as well and still very involved in the Living Legends of Racing.

I have a new sealed 1987 Winston Cup Media Guide1987 Winston Cup Media Guide I listed today. These media guides were given out at the races to the press people so they could use the information to write their articles. You have to remember this was before the era of computers and sponsors and teams would make these up so all the correct information about the team was published. My friend has boxes of these that I am listing.

This is really a piece of racing history with all the pages filled with facts and figures and vintage photos. This media guide is new and there are very few of these around today.

Our our store is being filled with many different items regularly and quite a few vintage racing ones so please check back often or subscribe to our our newsletter for updates.

Vintage Indy Racing Press Kit for Michael Andretti

Here is a vintage Indy Racing Press Kit from the Kraco Racing Team with the sponsor Turtle Wax. They had 2 drivers Michael Andretti and Kevin Cogan on this team. This kit contains a folder with the sponsors name on it, information on the team and drivers and some nice black and white photos. These press kits are very nice collectibles that are in limited numbers and you can find this listed for sale on Ebay . The world of racing has changed so much over the years it is interesting to see these older collectible items.

These kits were given out to press people at the races so they had the correct information to use in their articles.

We are selling these and many other items for a friend who has been around auto racing for many years starting as a racer on the beach in Daytona. He is still involved in writing and the press side of auto racing today. You can learn more about Dick Fleck and his racing career at his website.

We will be posting regularly about many vintage unique racing and other collectible items we have for sale. You can find us on Ebay,  and Amazon
