⚠️ HOW TO START YOUR NASCAR DIECAST COLLECTION! 🚗 (ULTIMATE 2022 BEGINNERS GUIDE TO COLLECTING!)

[@Diecastbuffet]

Howdy howdy folks! If you have any questions about collecting, feel free to ask! 😄👍🏻

[@emma6071]

How do you recommend selling or having your collection appraised?

[@Diecastbuffet]

@@emma6071 my best advice is if you want to sell your collection quickly the best way to is sell in bulk on eBay or on Instagram, If you’re wanting to get top dollar for each car parting them out and selling them individually is usually the best way. It’s a very very long process that isn’t for everyone haha because some cars can take months or even a year to sell. Some might sell in days

[@Diecastbuffet]

@@emma6071 for appraisal, usually checking eBay is probably the best way to gauge value

[@heathrentzell2512]

Does this also apply for collecting indycar diecast

[@Diecastbuffet]

@@heathrentzell2512 indycar diecasts are a different market, I’m not an expert on those but the same common knowledge can be used. Hope this helps :)

[@gfn4566]

I wish I had this video back in ‘14-‘15 when I started collecting, such a great video

[@Diecastbuffet]

Thank you for watching bud!! Means the world to me! 😄🏁

Waiting patiently on my signed Richard Petty 200th win. My dad got me into collecting, it can be expensive if you like the 1/24ths. Also tend to get outstanding deals at the vendors outside/near the racetrack.

I just pre-ordered two Kevin Harvick cars from CircleB. Thanks for the tips.

Anytime! Thanks for watching :)

[@davidguilbert7666]

Great video, started collecting because of your video. Love it

[@Diecastbuffet]

That's awesome! God Bless :)

[@stephenmills7211]

1/24 banks are my favorite

[@LakenArnold]

Yeah but if you are a Harvick or a different Alchoholic sponcered driver, you will almost always have to get Gold Series because Alchoholic sponcers are not allowed in Authentics. This was a great idea for a video!

[@Diecastbuffet]

Thank you for watching that’s a great point! I tried to keep the video as simple as possible :)

[@kylebutler9718]

My collection all started with a signed Ryan Blaney 1/24 then ended up getting multiple 1/64s from target and then was given a signed Jeff Gordon qtr panel framed from 1998 then discovered circle b from one of your videos and strictly have bought diecast from there but recently I bought the cindric Phoenix raced win from Penske because circle b was sold out and received an email from a Penske employee offering for it to be signed by Austin cindric since he was in the office at the time and it has become my favorite diecast in my collection even over my Blaney autograph diecast and blaneys my favorite driver. You helped me expand my collection thank you so much and keep up the great work!

[@Diecastbuffet]

Dude that’s amazing!! That made my day reading it. Thank you so much!! Keep on collecting! 😎🏁

[@chardab8824]

Me sitting here with 800+diecast going yes I need to start collecting

[@nascarandgamer1017]

I’ve been collecting diecast cars since 2013. I’ve traded 1/24s for 1/64s. 1/64s are wayyyy easier to collect. I collect gold edition cars and authentics line. I collect the cars that I don’t have yet those are the ones I go after and paint scheme design as well

[@edferro3263]

After buying an austin cindric raced 1:64 a few months back i decided to take my nascar collection out of storage and found a few REALLY neat cars, like the wallace/junior/stewart entry in the rolex 24hr race 1:24 model, some boxed 2010 COT models of gordon and jarret, and a bunch of boxed 1:64s, they were somedale srs from 1998 (crushed packaging so i opened some) and a full set of the 2013 hendrick cars. it’s so fun getting back into nascar after missing a whole generation of car, and so fun getting back into looking for cool paint schemes to get in diecast form (preordered the willy b atlanta 2022 win!!)

[@DeepOwl1073]

I was just looking for a DJ COT #44! I'm just starting my collection and I'm getting DJs cars first. Cool finds!

[@mattharrington4838]

I love Kyle Busch's paint schemes so much. Not a huge fan of him, but I don't dislike him either.

[@halo34jess117]

Another good way to choose diecasts is for their paint schemes/liveries. It's quite cool to collect them for their colors, logos, and the model designs of the diecasts. Buying cars of your favorite colors and looks requires a bit of research, but it's fun to do so.

[@Diecastbuffet]

That’s a great point I overlooked!!

You forgot to mention the difference between the ARC and the Elite version the elites are more authentic and are 100% metal and have all the details of the actual car not to mention the Raced wins that Lionel makes for every car that wins a race and include the confetti and even race damage those are the most valuable as they are very limited and a real treasure to have in any collection

Hey! Diecast Dude, what a terrific video on the collecting of Nascar items...Also, collectors can get the 1/87 cars at walmart and Ollies out of texas...They are really cool and you get two cars per package...And there is a Mystery bag of the 1/87's (at Ollies) too...one car per package...all are waves of different numbers...thanks again for the video on collecting and you nailed all of what is IMPORTANT to a beginner...later

[@Diecastbuffet]

Thanks so much for watching!!! The reason i didn’t mention 1/87’s is I think they stopped making them

Rule of thumb for newer cars: you’re collecting plastic rolling hunks with wheels. Stick with the older diecast and you’ll get your monies worth.

I got 3 number 43 cheerios cars in 2008, and a 1:24 1999 Jeremy Mayfield Mobil 1 car. fast forward to 2019, got a Kyle Busch 1:64, kept on, now got like 43 in total including a 1:24 Kyle Busch standard scheme. one thing I struggle with is displaying, I've tried many different ways but always seems crammed with too many.

First thanks so much for watching, i greatly appreciate it!! 😄 Honestly I would not throw the boxes away, almost every collector I’ve spoke to regrets doing so. Things like moving to a new place years later, or realizing they have a 1/24 worth hundreds of dollars if they’d have kept the box years later. Some people will actually buy the empty boxes to store their cars in, especially for Gen 6 and 1/64 scale

Would Circle b be the same?

Plan B is yes more of business sales, bulk, inventory etc. Circle B is considered “Retail”, which is fancy for basically a normal place to buy diecasts :) they’re pretty much the same tbh I use Circle B myself. Hope this helps somewhat!

Heres my suggestion. Dont collect anything from Nascar today, especially 1/24 scale: expensive garbage. If you have to collect something, do 1/64 cheaper garbage. OR discover IMSA or SRO and sports car racing. Better racing and much better cars. Cars you won't regret owning when you grow up and wake up.
