Card Identification Forum

I'm trying to identify this Davey Allison card, on the reverse it reads...

Photo by Wayne Ebinger (C) Speedyway Limited Edition Volume 2 Number 4.  Anyone know what this is or what set it's from?

It's from a set that was (I think) a promo for the Speedway Limited Pocket Memoribilia Guide. I believe there were a few issues of it and then it went away. I have 11 cards of the set. It is not in TCDB but I'm researching it more to see if 11 is the size of the set or if there are more. There are some pictures of the books on ebay or amazon and i've seen a picture of at least one card from 1991. I hope to have the set entered and a checklist done soon

I've got two Earnhardts from the set. One with silver border, one with blue. 

Thanx stump417

Billy, I think your Earnhardts are from the prototype set.

Since the one pictured above doesn't say "Prototype" on it, it must be one that was cut from the price guide.  I'm pretty sure that you will see that it was hand cut from a larger page.  The Speedway Guide was issued bi-monthly (six per year).  I have Musgraves from Volume 2, Number 3 and Vol 2, No. 5, both are 1992 also.  I also have those volumes complete, so I could offer that portion of the checklist.

Early on in my participation here, I thought that I read somewhere that cards cut from price guides aren't listable, that they belonged in the hobby publication section, hence I never attempted to compile this checklist.  Did I imagine that, did something change, or did I misunderstand some other guidance?

Hmm, I can't remember, been a while since I looked at them. Surprised I never saw those publications anywhere.

As far as I know they are listable as long as a checklist can be found.

The set I've got don't appear to have been cut(or if they were they were cut very well.)  I think I saw somewhere that Speedway Limited Editions had sets they gave out at shows. How many issues were there of the guide? Only see a couple listed from time to time on amazon or ebay. One has Petty and earnhardt on the cover(v2 no1 Jan 92) and the other is Gant in the pits(v 2 no 2 mar 92) The cards are all v2 no 4 like the one pictured here.  D Allison. Allison/Hensley. Cope. Earnhardt. Kulwicki. Martin. Petty. Trickle. Wallace. D. Waltrip. Year of the Fords.

I'm glad some of you know something about those cards. Those are out of my expertise. The only NASCAR publications I know anything about are NASCAR Illustrated and Beckett Racing. I've never seen those cards either.
