Ok I see we have a Diecast Collector Self-Help Group side on the Forum ... who knew ... so I might as well confess ...
I have an extensive collection of which there are many that I do not display out of original packaging.
I am a huge fan of Dale Earnhardt Sr. (part reason for my being SN-III on this Forum)
I am hooked on Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s Peter Max Paint Scheme Diecasts. "Have had" many and "still have" a select few.
Here is my first ever 1:18 scale Peter Max Standard Color Diecast along with two 1:24 gold plated versions
Here are three 1:24 scale Dale Earnhardt IROC Camaros
Met a fella on eBay who created 2 novelty Pixar Lightning McQueen Diecasts for me (these are one off) (great conversation pieces)
Tony Stewart Autographed Diecasts became collectable for me following the February 2001 Tragedy at Daytona
(Earnhardt's Fatal Crash)
Below is the #20 Cup Champ Car is signed by Tony Stewart (driver) , Joe Gibbs (car owner) & Greg Zipadelli (crew chief)
The #8 is signed by Tony Stewart (driver) and Dale Earnhardt Jr (car owner)
Two more are authenticated Tony Stewart Signature Diecasts
The 1:24 scale Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Born On" GM Dealer Diecast
(it's a high value collector diecast that you had to buy/obtain before the Daytona 500 win - lucky me!)
and a Paint Scheme Diecast in honour of his Dad
I will end with a Nascar Driven Paint Scheme Diecast that has my first and last name on it.
Jimmy Spencer's Winston No Bull Scheme
(my first name being Jimmy's last name)
(my last name is the two words on the Hood)
... it will be my attempt to join in on weekly meetings of this self-help group ...
- now back to my Corvette obsession -
hope y'all like ...
Cheers !!!
