Anyone else collect NASCAR Diecast? I don't really collect them as much as I used to but I still have a respectable collection of both loose and MIP cars in various scales on shelves and on the wall in my attic room

I do. Most of mine are loose, though I have a few MIB ones.

I have a TON of 1/64 cars. Mostly Tony Stewart and Richard Petty. I can't afford the 1/24 scale cars, so I buy the nicer 1/64 cars with rubber tires, or opening hoods, etc.

Just 3. All have a Batman image on the car. 2 are Hot Wheels scale and have a JLU Batman deco over the cars. (one came with a 4" JLU Batman figure) then there's a larger scale one that has a comic Batman deco over it.

Yes I have the one with the JLU Batman figure. And my daughter had the one with Wonder Woman. I might have had the Green Lantern one as well, but I'm not sure about that one. I think there's pics of the 3 Batman ones I have in my Batman threads pics.

I have a few 1/64 (Racing Champions cheapos), mostly Ernie Irvan and Kyle Busch, with a couple of Jeff Gordon (Superman and Pepsi Challenger) and guys who came in multipacks with Irvan cars. I have four 1/24, two Harvick (C2 and KISS), Bill Elliott (C2), and Ernie Irvan (Wild Berry Skittles). Though I don't count it as part of my collection, I got an Elite of Jeremy Mayfield's Dodge ride from the first year Evernham had his team. Dad got it from work (he was a mechanic) and it nearly fell off and cracked one of the guys in the head when they went to take the gun cabinet out of the house. It's special to me because my dad must've hid it up there thinking I'd open it up and diminish the value (most of them go for less than retail nowadays). For whatever reason, he thought EVERY collectible would be worth money in the future (for your information, Dad, ED-209 is the only toy you've bought with the intent of making money that would've actually made you money today ).

Ive got a crap ton of 1/64th scale cars dating all the way back to the late 80s. My favorite (although a little beaten up) is by far the #27 Miller Genuine Draft Rusty Wallace car. Back in those days you couldnt promote alcohol or tobacco on child products so instead of having MGD on the car it would say something like "Rusty"...This one came in a set out of a JC Pennys christmas catalog and had the actual sponsor on it....totally awesome.

BTW, if anyone has any of the 1:64 scale Red Bull cars from 2007-2009, PM me. I have been looking for them for the past 2 years.

You still can't do that if the car is sold in a big box store where kids have access to buy them. I have a few censored cars such as the Pfizer car where as the real one says Viagra

There was a Dale Jr with Bud, Sterling Marlin with Coors Light and Rusty Wallace with Miller Lite. They were made by Winners Circle...It was after I had stopped collect but damn, i was so thrown off by them

I collect 1/64 cars only. Keep them all loose though. I have bought a 1/64 car of every driver (or multiple cars of drivers) every year since about 2001. I also have every single 1/64 Jeff Gordon car ever made (since he is my favorite).

What does everyone think of the SpinMaster NASCAR's? I like them but they are a little too wide compared to a Action Performance or a Hot Wheels

I miss Racing Champions. The early series had the rubber tires that you could pull off and on so I would have "pit stops" when id play with them. Id line up the collectors cards along the wall that that would be their pit stall. Ahh good times, Im still kicking myself knowing I created safer barriers in the late 90s.
