Description: The ungraded card from the "carbking" collection has wear to include creasing and some paper removal that is visible on the backside of the card. The front presents well. The card measures roughly 3.75" x 2.75". Please review the attached pictures to assist with the condition and content of the card. The 1954 Stark & Wetzel cards were a promotional campaign where an Indianapolis 500 Winners card would be inserted in the packaging of one of their meat products. There are a total of 37 cards in this set, and they are very rare. As of this posting, a total of 49 cards have been submitted to PSA for grading, and only a single Louis Meyer #8 card. Louis Meyer would win his third and final Indianapolis 500 driving the #8 Ring Free Special. Meyer would celebrate as the first three time winner by drinking buttermilk in victory lane, starting a new tradition. This was also the first race for the Borg-Warner Trophy. Once Meyer finished racing in 1938, he went into a partnership with Dale Drake. The Meyer-Drake Offenhauser would dominate and win every Indy 500 until 1968. Meyer passed away in 1995 while living in Nevada. Please review the other racing items I have listed at the eBay store, The Checkered Past. I will combine shipping and provide a refund on shipping charges for anything over cost. Thanks!
