Hotwheels Collectors

[AKguy1985]

Any hotwheels collectors on here?? I've recently got back into the hobby as of lately. I went friday and hit several stores and look what I found. To the uneducated eye these are just hotwheels cars. To a collector they are worth a few bucks and are much rarer than regular ones

I had a collection of over 2500 cars "all in the blisterpacks" I sold them last summer.

Those are the "treasure hunts" or something to that effect, right?

Yes. They made 10k cars world wide until 2000. After that they started making more. I had TH cars worth 60-100 by themselves. After 2000 I quit collecting them. I found 6 TH cars at one Wal-Mart on the same day.

I had a pretty big collection. Lots of box sets and TH's. Don't rememeber why but ended up selling them all. I used to buy them from a guy I worked with, he's a huge hotwheels collector/dealer.

I have a few of the old Redlines that I held on to, but that is all I have now.

I've got a few boxes sitting at my dads house, I wonder what they are worth now. Some are still packaged, and some old old ones are not.

How is a TH car denoted?

Was just having this conversation with my son yesterday. When dlbleak and I were kids in the 70s we had lots of hotwheels. Problem is, we went to a lot of dirt track racing back then and tried to make our hot wheels match the race cars we saw on the track. Don't worry though since all we did was increase the value of your originals. So essentially, we Bubba'd a lot of little cars.

My bro later collected them bigtime but I didn't.
