More than 8,000 vintage and current die-cast vehicles are cataloged in a new reference from Krause Publications. Collectors can use the “Standard Catalog of® Die-Cast Vehicles” to identify, value and inventory their collection of die-cast vehicles. All popular manufacturers are included, and listings provide prices in up to three categories, based on condition.
Edited by Dan Stearns, the “Standard Catalog of® Die-Cast Vehicles” covers vehicles manufactured by Corgi, Dinky, Ertl, Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, Maisto, Matchbox, and Tootsietoy, among others. More than 3,000 photos help collectors identify the unknowns of their collection.
Die-cast vehicle listings are alphabetically sorted by manufacturer and include photos, descriptions, model numbers and prices in up to three conditions. Listings also include checkboxes to inventory the vehicles collectors have or wish to add to their collection.
A 32-page color section shows the best popular manufacturers have to offer. Each color photo listing incorporates a value and collecting notes.
