I need some help and am hoping that someone out there may point me in the right direction.

I am trying to locate on the web some kind of database for the driver postcards that Ferrari would send out to fans.

I believe that they started producing these in the 50's to date, is there a definitive list of all they produced out there somewhere ?

Thanks in anticipation for any help .

Cheers
Rob

Cheers for that Irvine 99 .
Is there any kind of official list by Ferrari or one of the Ferrari clubs that have the reference numbers to the postcards?

Thanks in anticipation.

Well Rob didn't seem to get much response, but maybe a few years later? Who knows?
Anyway, I would like to hear from any other TNFers who collect, or know about these cards, especially the early b/w cards.
Thanks

This is a wide field of collecting I guess. As a boy EF of course wanted to become an opera singer or a racing driver or a journalist. As we know he went on to become the middle one. But he understood well that communication was important when he started to run the Scuderia. Since 1929 a vast selection of factory prints have been published: books, magazines, posters, leaflets, brochures, etc. Large and small. After the war that was accelerated.

I know that when you wrote to the Scuderia around 1949 - 1955, you would receive reply. Often a year book or indeed a post card was send. The post cards had been drawn by hand and depicted driver faces (E.g. il quattro assi). Mostly those cards had been signed by Ascari, Villoresi, Farina, Serafini, etc.

Don't know of any site cataloging all. There have been attempts to list all official Ferrari prints, but I think these focus on the press books and sales brochures.
Of course Ferrari released post cards, but what to think of Shell, Goodyear, Agip, Marlboro, Brembo, etc...

A good link is from this Belgian collector:
www.ferraricollection.eu
Enjoy!

Oh and check out the post card section!

Yes, and there are more specialized shops that sell post cards. Especially the ones on Ferrari literature.

An online list of all Ferrari's numbered factory publications can be found here

These publications include the driver post cards, but of course, not all the cards that have been issued over the years had a print number as numbering only started in 1965. Well, at least it is a start.
