I collected Matchbox cars in the late 50's-early 60's for 50 cents each. Back then 50 cents was 90% silver and had some buying power. I had a Cadillac Matchbox car with a hitch that hauled an oval shaped trailer for camping. Those were the days.

As far as she was concerned because I didn't play with them anymore I therefore didn't want them!!! He didn't need them, he's a well paid doctor now earning much more than I do!!!!

But some people don't understand. The prices go up and down, they are just looking at the business end. What makes them rare is finding the people who loved them as kids. Which makes them very rare.
