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

Thanks Chris!

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.  🤨
