Dale Earnhardt, Sr. Was an American race car driver, best known for his career in stock car driving in NASCAR’s top division. Earnhardt died in a last-lap crash during the 2001 Daytona 500. Throughout his stock driver life time and long after, trading cards of Earnhardt were produced.
From reference to over a hundred websites the cards range from 0.61p in the UK to the highest price found of $999 for a one off card in the USA. Those that are more rare or have been autographed tend to be in the higher price bracket but can still be found on websites such as Ebay for around £25 to £45. For example a 1988 rare Dale Earnhardt trading card can be found for £34, including shipping fees with a 2004 card going for £4 to £26. The majority of the cards appear in the price bracket of $1 to $25 with around 70 percent of these from $10 to $16.
The amount the trading cards are worth vary greatly and appear to depend on which website you use to sell them and how much people are willing to pay for them. For instance, there are many websites that offer these cards but have had no willing buyers. This may be due to the fact the cards are so widely circulated that only few cards count as ‘special’. However, you can still set yours at a higher price and it is likely that eventually someone who has been looking for it will buy it. Especially if someone is looking for a specific card that they are willing to pay a higher price for.
This website has one man’s lifetime collection written out and handily he has shown the prices that he paid for them. This helps to show the varying ranges of prices. If you have a particular card from his list it will help give you a rough idea of what someone may be willing to pay, and the link is here: www.teamterrier.com/Sales/EarnhardtWants.htm
