Collector Cards Of The Early Drivers?

General

Dave,
The winner circle "Say no to drugs" race cards was to be given out at all NASCAR race tracks but I think it was (1) different old NASCAR race driver "Say no to drugs" race card per race track.

It might had been for young kids to teach them "Say no to drugs" by given them (1) "Say no to drugs" race card and (1) "Say no to drugs" poster of all the old racecar drivers collector cards thatold NASCAR drivers like Fireball Roberts and Wendell Scott.
I think Wendell Scott's "Say no to drugs" race card was given out at Richmond race track at the "Say no to drugs" trailer?? Not many was handed out because it rained during race week??
Maybe this is the reason Wendell Scott's "Say no to drugs" race collector's card is so high??
I think Glen Wood's "Say no to drugs" race card was given out at Martinsville race track at the "Say no to drugs" trailer??

Auto Racing Collectors,
Be very very very careful, used common sense, if the race item looks funny, sounds funny, don't buy it and know who you're buying from, there is whole lots of fake auto racing items: like old race collector cards, old race postcards and old race posters that can be easy be scan/copy/printed on an home scan/copier/printing machine.
Sincerely yours,
