what we have found, is that your uber-expensive diecasts, from like the danbury mint, are expensive now, and will be valuable in the future...however, what we see alot of is that the cars that are REALLY valuable now are the ones that were very cheap back in the 60s or 70s. people would buy them for their kids to play with, and im sure you all remember, hot wheels get destroyed when youre playing with them...thus making them harder to find, and more valuable to a collector when in good shape.

so what we do is buy cars that are fairly inexpensive now, and they make for a nice looking collection for the time being, but it will take some time and patience before they are worth anything.
