What Is The Best Method, Barring Having Them Encased, To Keep 1:24 Scale Diecast Cars Clean?

Diecast Collector — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:55:07 +0000

I have over 50 1:24 scale models. They are on dispaly out of their boxes because I like to have the doors,hoods, and trunks open to show the interiors and the engine detail. They are displayed in my bedroom and my living room. I am very concerned about what cleaning products to use on them and whether or not I should ise a chamois on them to prevent scratching and breaking off any of the delicate parts like side view mirrors and windshield wipers.

Thanks For Your Quick Reply And Input!! What About The “annual” Beckett Pg?

Diecast Collector — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:08:22 +0000

I have been collecting baseball cards for over 20 years. Got into NASCAR collectibles about 10-12 years ago. My bedroom wall is hanging full of 1:64 scale diecast cars. I have alot of Earnhardt Sr. and JR. cars. The top of our TV in our living room is covered with 1:24 scale cars and I also have some Maxx Racing card sets on it. 2 1990 sets and one 1992 set. I have also put together several sets of my own. I bought an autographed Benny Parsons 1991 Legend card today for practically nothing. I know Beckett makes an “Annual” price guide. Is this guide only made once a year? I’m thinking of ordering the OPG just to look up my racing cards and diecast cars. Is it worth it? I have Jeff Gordons 1992 BGN RC in the Maxx Black Update set along with his 1992 ROY card in Maxx. I also have his 1993 Wheels Rookie Thunder card. The latest PG I have is Jan. of ‘05 They do not book much in there. The only way I can get any info on there value is by going to Becketts OPG and see what they r selling for. Anyone have any input about the stuff I mentioned? Thx alot..P.S.-I am looking for a 1996 Fleer Ultra Update #10 Dale Earnhardt card. I need it to finish the set..ChasingFever..

What Is The Best Brand To Get Diecast Cars?

Diecast Collector — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:04:38 +0000

I’m looking for Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, and Lamborghini in 1:18 scale. But the problem is that i’m not sure what brand has the best detail, and are around 100 bucks. I’ve already heard of AUTOart, Kyosho, Minichamps, Hot Wheels, etc. If there are any other better brands plz do tell me. But to me so far AUTOart, Kyosho, and Minichamps seems to be the best, but which one is the best?

What Do You Think About Special Paint Schemes?

Diecast Collector — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:05:37 +0000

Dale Jr is running the retro Mt Dew car this weekend ( I’ll bet ole’ DW is even more excited when he says Boogity-Boogity-Boogity!) and the 3 Doors Down Citizen Soldier car during the all-star race, and it got me thinking about special paint schemes.
I like the change of pace, but it costs me a ton of money because I collect diecast. It all started for me when Dale Sr. ran the silver RJR 25th aniversary car in the 1995 Winston.
What do you guys think about special paint jobs?
