I haven't been doing much building since my father passed away, and since the probate finally is all straightened out , I have the sad task of going through my childhood home , seeing what to keep, what goes to goodwill, what gets thrown out ,etc...
ANYWAY - I came across my old Matchbox car collection ,and I started to wonder what you guys have for hobbies when you're not building , or do you have a collection of something other than model kits ? ( we all have a lot of kits !) I also thought that maybe if one or more of us collect the same thing , its possible trades could be made to increase your collections .

Thanks for starting this thread,Don!
I have a decent collection of old and new Hotwheels. My oldest son and I are members of the local Indy Hotwheels club which meets once a month. They have a meeting,and there are several vendors selling their goodies each month.
I especially like the Redline era Hotwheels,and I have several of those. Some are in great shape,and some are in “very well played with”condition,lol!
I also have a collection of coin op NFL mini helmets,and mini mugs. I have a few stickers,too.

I have a pretty good size collection ; I started years ago and when Ebay started up I was buying a lot of them; of course that's when you could get a mint one them for $25.00 . im still looking for certain colors, but The prices on those have gone crazy right now ! |

My other hobby besides building model cars is working on my 31 Ford roadster that I built 15 years ago and taking it to car shows.  |

I only have a couple of them; I cant believe the prices they sell for these days Thanks,Don! It took a few years to complete the TD trading card collection. Fortunately,I got most of them reasonably priced off of EBay before the prices shot up on said site. You know what the hardest card to get was? The “Baja Bandito”. That was the last card I bought. It was also the only professionally graded card that I have. Todd |
