Diecast Scale Collector’s Resource Platform
Saturday February 11th 2012

Any advice for building a diecast car collection?

I recently purchased a 1/18 scale diecast car (a Jeep Grand Wagoneer), and it has sparked my interest in collecting 1/18 scale cars. I’m not sure where to begin. In terms of value, what should I look for? Any specific models to watch? What about pricing guides–are there any out there?
I’ve collected die cast cars for many years. The cars from Franklin Mint and Danbury Mint are particularly beautiful, detailed and with moving parts.I can’t tell you about price guide lines and such. I collect for the love of it. Don’t start a collection with an eye for it’s future value. That can never be predicted. Buy what you love and HAVE to have.You’ll get more enjoyment out of it that way.
