Oh my goodness. In boxes - so many he can't see or appreciate. That is SOME magnificent collection though!
Thanks Chris!

A really amazing and very large collection ! Many look familiar and I had some of those replicas.

Right! It's like looking at a Hobby Shop from 40-60 years ago! How many collectors have FULL rack display merchandisers correctly filled, in depth, with product? A: NOT MANY!

Thanks for the model trip back in time 👍 this was fascinating and made me remember all the hours spent in hobby shops 😀

interesting, a number of 1/24, 1/25 car kits I've never seen that I would love to have a go at. Thanks Chris

Thank you Chris. What an amazing collection. Like going through a hobby store in the fifties and sixties.

It's overwhelming but not in a good way.

.... funny you mention that.
I just had to check out some of the items he has listed on CL. Although I'm certainly NOT the expert he is, I do know a few things, and, well, the items I saw for sale were, IMO, grossly overpriced.
Time will tell of course, but he may have a difficult time "unloading" parts of his collection. 🤨
