Collecting diecast cars. Whether it be 1 18 scale or smaller. The name Matchbox gets thrown around a lot even when talking about any brand diecast toy. No matter the brand of diecast model toys you collect finding information is not always easy.
With Christmas right around the corner you might be looking for Nascar diecast cars which are pretty hot item right now. These Nascar toys are collectible and easy to get at the moment. With fans and non-fans of the sport looking at these for future value.
The diecast Nascar models have lots of detail and are easy to collect. These would be appropriate for all ages. I would suggest getting a matchbox display case for them or at least acrylic storage cases so that they can be kept in good condition and shown off.
Another diecast model car that is hot right now is the Mega Rig Shuttle. A fun collectible for the space enthusiast. It will make a fine addition to anyones collection. These can be had for a decent price and are available all over during this season.
Diecast trucks and planes are very popular types also. Many people have collections consisting of only airplanes. With all different types available including at various scales these can make a very nice collection.
Some of the more expensive collections include diecast planes. People that like to collect rare matchbox cars are known to also collect diecast trucks and planes. Enthusiast are always after things like historic photos or what not.
No matter what diecast model you collect be sure to read up on the values of your collectibles. You never know what the valuation could be of some of your more obscure matchbox cars. Old models from Moko Lesney and the Mattel brand are worth a lot. The original packaging is also worth a good bit of money.
Yesteryear collectibles are a great collection of diecast cars that you will want to look into if you are a hardcore collector.
