Autograph collection
#1
Posted 26 October 2009 - 09:42
I am collecting autographs of racing drivers since 1965. My first autogaph I got personally from Jochen Rindt at his exhibition in Vienna. But Dieter Quester motivated me to try to get signed photos from many drivers, when he offered me a beautiful photo of his BMW-mountain-spyder and signed it personally for me (Vienna-Aspern airport race 1968). I attended many races (F1, FIA-GT, WTCC, DTM) in Brno and Zeltweg, also 1000 km Monza, Ennstal-Classic, several exhibitions and also the Festival of Speed in Goodwood and the Goodwood Revival.
Later I specialized on formula one, Indy 500 and moreover the winner of the three most important long distance-races: Le Mans 24 hours, Daytona 24 hours and Sebring 12 hours.
By the time I got a rather complete collection: Only two living drivers of the Indy500 (since 1950) are missing in my collection, and only from four living F1-drivers I don't have an autograph. Moreover I got all living winners of the Le Mans 24 hours.
Perhaps anyone wants to exchange or is looking for some rarities, maybe I can offer some spares. Or do you have to offer some special signed photos? Please feel free to send an email.

BTW. Autograph collecting must have been much more difficult in 70's - 80's without internet.... Respect!
