[Closed] Knowing what you know today, would you change anything in the way you've collected your cars?

I agree with John.

No. I started with Brooklins and have pretty much kept it to them.

I thought I had done just that with American 1956 - 1971. Not made anymore!

That's another route I would consider, sticking with one maker, particularly Brooklin.

Well...there are plenty in 1/43, even a few in 1/24

I tried those scales and even 1:64. There are about 500 different cars made in diecast within my parameters [American 1956 to 1971 for under $250] and I had practically all of them [375 in 1:18, 1:24, & 1:43 + 103 in !:64] so 478 different car models. How many different American 1:1 car models were actually made between 56 & 71? A thousand +- different cars to make diecast of and the industry of how many years has made approximately five hundred of them. Not bad at all, but that is across all scales; now a new mold car that has not been produced before virtually is non existent.

Hey! The next time one of you guys wants to GIVE away your collection pieces, pretend I am one of your grandkids! Pretend you are Elvis and give cars to strangers.

I would have bought as many limited edition cars and all of the cars that Danbury issued during the last four years of their existence.
