Is It A Toy, Model Or Collectible

Yes to all of the above. Many of my models and toys are viewed by others as just toys, and ask how they can have any value. Sometimes the value of a collectible item is not measured in $ its just knowing you have something rare and unusual or that cool toy model that takes you back to another time. I have many diecast collectibles that probably fit this description, they are important to me if no one else. Yes there are lots of very valuable collectibles, some being many hundreds of dollars. I for one feel that most collectors find the value of there collection in the mind and the heart not in the wallet. That does not mean you can't make a few bucks trading and selling collectibles, just try and remember why you started collecting to begin with.
Thanks for stopping by Roger
