A small part of my collection

[fireguy14]

Here is a small part of my collection. A lot of these are from my childhood, and they show it. I could not guess how many thousands of miles I drove with them, and loved every minute of it!! They were about all I ever played with as a kid. Had started collecting again, but quit several years ago. That market is just insane. I still look from time to time, and ended up selling off the majority of my newer, still carded stuff. Storing them that way takes up just too much room. Anyway, after the fire at mom's house, I decided that I really needed to to catalogue and photograph all of them, and here is the start. Also plan on doing this with all my kits and train stuff as well when I get it moved back in. And I highly recommend everyone do that. Think of what your insurance company would say if you tried to claim 100+ kits and builts and they had no prior knowledge of it! Thanks for looking.

Man, Nice collection. I look at your hotwheels and think to myself...Darn it! I blew most of mine up with fireworks. LOL. I stil have a few old ones that I recovered from grandma's house, but nothing like your collection. I too started collecting again a few years ago, and got discouraged when I asked a dealer why is prices were so cheap, and he said "oh man these will never be worth anything again cause everyone collects them now". I thought about it and just got alittle sick to my stomach. After honestly the $ I have spent on these things. Thank you for posting this. It made me go through some of my collection today and I got a smile on my face looking at them. That to me is why I remember collecting them. I agree with you 100% inventory!!!!!!!!!!! In the early stages of that now. Awesome!!
