I collect 1/18 scale diecast cars...........

I've become more selective in recent years, only purchasing limited editions.......the three white race cars in the top row of the second picture are worth over $125 each..........those are "Grumpy's Toys"........google him.

That looks exactly like my OH's collection. Same cabinet and all. Who cleans yours. I am not allowed to touch them under pain of death.

The bottom cabinet is much more appropriate for these cars, I can get 6 on each shelf...........

Cleaning is a team effort.........I remove the cars, then the glass shelves. While i'm using an air compressor to blow the dust off, the war department is washing the interior glass, then we do the shelves together, finally, while I'm reinstalling the shelves and cars, Cece washes the outside of the case.

I have about another 50 cars still in boxes,

What's his favorite car?

Mine, I believe is a tossup, between the Mr. Bardahl pro-stock Camaro.........

And the '65 Malibu SS...........

I have to keep jumping away, the Oregon Ducks are playing the Arizona Wildcats for the PAC-12 championship, and a place in the national championship.............they are whacking Arizona, 30-zip right now.

I had a collection like "one time's" Die cast vehicles, 1/18 and 1/24, floor to celing in two rooms and spilling over into a 3ed room. Much of it hard to find and rare pieces. No idea where they ended up, guessing my sister's kids sold them for drug money.

uhh, what else did i have, a 400 disc CD music collection, but still have much of that saved to an old hard drive i managed to have brought here to me.

Oh, I was just starting something with the die cast 1/18 scale vehicles. You can't do it with the smaller ones, but go to thrift stores and yard sales and get those tiny dolls or figures, and modify them in a sitting position to place in the cars. Really sets off the convertables, looks great when there are people actually driving the cars. Oh so it would appear.

I collect banknotes and have around 3,500 different notes from around the world.

My more favorite are notes from Greenland. I have both of these.

I also like the first ever polymer note, which is Australian. IMO a lovely design.
