My Collecting History
Welcome to my Diecast Showroom. I collect Vintage Hot Wheels® and Matchbox® 1:64th scale diecast toy cars and accessories from 1965 to '72. I've been collecting since January 1996 after a 23 year break. While browsing through an antique/collectable store I saw a lot of cars for sale I had as a kid. I was temporarily lost in the store because I was having so many flashbacks of my childhood, playing with the cars, racing them down the track and my playroom floor.

I still have many of the cars, track and accessories from my childhood, although most cars are in played with condition (of course! ) After I dug them up I did a search on the web and was amazed to find how many other collectors there were. Through the www die cast pages, books and research I have learned a lot about die cast collecting in a short amount of time. I mostly collect vintage cars from 1965 to '72. It's fun to replace, buy and trade cars in near mint to mint condition I dreamed of having as a kid ,or had and of course played with (beat up).
