RARE – Hobby-Sport Formula One Fan-Karten – 12 Driver Cards in Original Wallet

This is a rare, seldom-offered collector’s item: a set of 12 “Formel I Weltmeisterschaft” driver cards from the Austrian Hobby-Sport “Formula One Fan-Karten” series, still in the original green Hobby-Sport card wallet.

This Austrian issue is very hard to find. It almost never appears on the international market, and finding the cards together in their original wallet is even more exceptional. For collectors of vintage Formula 1 memorabilia, this is a chance to own a piece of motorsport history that is rarely offered for sale.

A snapshot of a legendary era. The driver and team lineup matches the 1977 Formula 1 season, the year after the legendary Hunt–Lauda duel immortalised in the film “Rush”. The set brings together five Formula 1 World Champions: Niki Lauda, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi and Jody Scheckter.

Cards included:

• Ferrari: Niki Lauda, Carlos Reutemann
• McLaren: James Hunt, Jochen Mass
• Brabham Alfa: John Watson, Hans Joachim Stuck
• Tyrrell: Ronnie Peterson, Patrick Depailler
• Lotus: Mario Andretti, Gunnar Nilsson
• Copersucar: Emerson Fittipaldi
• Wolf: Jody Scheckter

Exclusive design. Each card front shows a driver portrait, the original team sponsor logo (Ferrari, Marlboro, Martini, elf, John Player Special, Copersucar, Wolf), the team name and the national flag. Each back gives the driver’s date and place of birth, residence (Wohnort) and hobbies in German, along with “Made in Austria”, “Reg.Nr. 505.495.497” and an “Autogrammstreifen” (autograph strip). The autograph strips are unsigned on the backs visible in the photos.
