Are Matchbox cars worth anything?
Matchbox cars have been around for over 70 years, and some are worth a pretty penny today. While the majority of vintage Matchbox cars from Lesney Products sell for a few dollars, rare and sought-after models have sold for thousands. Whether driven by childhood nostalgia or simply by their inherently collectable nature alone, the desirability of Matchbox cars has an undoubted influence on their value. However, as with any range of collectables, some are more valuable than others.Some matchboxes are bought and sold for many hundreds of pounds and whole collections can be worth many thousands of pounds. The hobby is so vast that new collectors have to decide eventually what interests them most and in what area they wish to specialise.
Who owns the rarest Hot Wheel?
This collector spent $70,000 to own the world’s rarest Hot Wheels car🚗 Bruce Pascal got his first Hot Wheels car at age 7 in 1968. Like most kids, he was hooked – racing them down orange plastic tracks and collecting as many as he could. Eventually, life moved on, and the cars were packed away. Pascal, a Washington DC-area commercial real estate executive, is the owner of what is believed to be the most valuable Hot Wheels car in the world: a 1969 version of the Beach Bomb Volkswagen bus estimated to be worth as much as $150,000.
