See if you can access www.goracing.com, that's the website that used to sell them through the QVC program. Redneck, that's quite the collection. I began buying up NASCAR diecast about 3 years ago and I'm think I'm up to around 40 of them, all 1:24 scale. I have mostly Dale Jr, Stewart, Truex and Harvick. I also try to complete team sets and usually buy what I know I can get signed. In saying that 95% of mine are all signed in person.
and Im not really to big on getting them signed... mainly because i couldnt decide which one i want to get signed, although the Kevin Harvick 1st win car (the all white with the red number on top) is def at the top of that list...
but the Dale Sr one that i got signed, although it is 1:43, i have had thousand dollar offers for that one piece (and i keep turning them down... Crazy I am) jsut because of what it took to get it...
and yeah... last count there was a little over 200... 1:24 and about 10 1:18, i have boxes upon boxes of the 1:64......
if you really want to know my problem, do i sell diecast to buy car parts or do i sell car parts to buy diecast

Man, I have to tell you it gets addicting. I have started buying old Dale Sr stuff and it's pricey, I'm not fortunate enough to have anything signed by him. I do have his 1997 Daytona Crash Car signed by Childress and McReynolds, I had someone tell me it could be valued over $700. I'm not sure, I don't check the price guides. Have you ordered any of the new Dale Jr specials for this season ?

I guess im not the only die-cast collector addict on this website. Once the bug has you ITS OVER!!! One time i spent about 2 or 3 months hunting down all my BMW's, which is fine, the problem is as i looked for BMW's i found a WHOLE lot of other cars that i want, that i didn't know i wanted. I can spend thousands of dollars on these cars, which is ridiculous, but for some reason, i think its ALL worth it.
