I'm thinking I have "one of everything" in 1/18 (but not all the AWB cars or any of the vans) and "most of the 1/16" issues except any of the 1/16 wreckers (sadly 😣 😣 ). I passed when they were c.$60.00 (thinking, "Auh, I'll get one later."  Yeah RIGHT!)

 

Now... "the one that got away."    You guys remember the HW61 1/6 (HUGE!) 1957 Corvette?  The original issue price, as I recall, was c.$550-$700. I passed on a few c.$500.  DUMB! DUMB! DUMB!  Today, assuming you can locate one... $1,600?   $1,900?   $2,500?  $3,000?

 

That 1/6 color-matched steelie spare w/white-wall tire was LARGER THAN A DONUT!   ...and I passed!   DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! 😫 😣 😫 😣 😫 😣 😒 😔 😖 😫 😣

@chris - I have a collector buddy who had the 1:6 scale Corvette.  It was sooooo big that it almost looked like a toy.  Finally, years ago he sold it on eBay.  If he only knew then what we know now, 'eh?

I have been selling some 1/18th last couple of years.  I have sold 47 HWY61 and have 65 left.  It is hard to part with them.

That is a very impressive collection of great Highway 61 automobiles, Marty ! You have also wisely taken the time to neatly and clearly list them.

H61 made some really nice models.  I wish I had more!  There are a number of nice ones missing from my collection!
