My dad probably has well over 500 diecast Nascar cars ranging in all different scales, the trailers as well...Fighter plains, classic cars, Hundreds of older toys...lots of tonka and rusted crap worth $$ ( minus the one we just sold for $1500
) I'll take a picture of his collection in our downstairs when I get a chance. My dad picked up most of his stuff at flea markets or garage sales. (All the nascar stuff is off QVC or other places) A lot of people dont know what they are getting rid of for $20 when someone else knows it is a steal.
The toy ride on bus my dad just sold...When they were looking at the current house we live in...my dad was joking to the realtor and said if the current owners throw in the ride-on bus he would buy the house. So they gave him the bus and now we're re-doing our garage with it!
Some of the die-cast out there right now are really neat!
