Hey fellas I was in the baking aisle at Sobeys (grocery store) and I found this guy and a few other matchbox hanging from a shelf on a tiny display. I love cars like probably all of you do, and I stopped and looked at it and you know what I really liked it. My girlfriend laughed and said "you're not going to buy that" and you said, you know I just might. And I did. ...
And it's been sitting in my desk and you know what I think I'd like to collect a few of these. Money is tight but this guy was around 5 bucks so it's a hobby I could partake in even while still in debt......
So how do I know if a hotwheel or matchbox is rare or "collectable"? I'm not a huge faggot I will buy whatever I like but I'd really like to pick up something a little special.
And what do you guys think of pic related's era of SUV's and trucks? I love them. Back when SUV's and trucks were work horses. The box says this one is an '89. Maybe that's a little late for my "golden era" (I don't know American cars earlier than the 80s) but you can tell this vehicle was a utilitarian family and trailer hauler and not a lifted luxo-barge.
So let me know how to tell if a car on the shelf is collectable and what you think of this era of SUV's okay? I might try going to a Walmart because they only had 6 cars for sale at the grocery store I got this one from.
