DIECAST CARS
Boggs will operate the new business alongside his wife, Jessica, who is also a military veteran and works as a government contractor. Boggs said the store will carry at least 40,000 new or used diecast cars from a pool of over 20 different brands that Boggs said he purchases directly from distributors and others.
DIECAST CARS
Boggs said his love for diecast cars began during the pandemic, when his then 11-year-old son Benny decided to start collecting Hot Wheels cars he discovered in the toy aisle of Walmart. Boggs saw how much money was changing hands among collectors and soon started conducting his own live auctions on the internet every two weeks while his basement started overflowing with diecast cars.

Popular with people of all ages, the pastime first originated during the early 1900s when diecast toy manufacturers started to make miniature versions of the Model T and MG sports cars. Advances in the manufacturing process meant that the 1930s was the dawn of a new era for these replicas, which now closely resembled the original vehicle.
The resurgence of interest in this unique hobby means that we conduct diecast model car valuations on a regular basis. We field calls from novice collectors who want to know what price they should pay for items as well as dealing with experienced collectors who need to know how much their collection is worth.
1/64: Measuring about 3 inches long, these are the smallest size commonly produced. This scale is more popular with brands like Matchbox, Hot Wheels and NASCAR. Model cars that are 1/64 can sometimes be described as being on the S scale.
1/18: The biggest scale produced, their 11-inch size shows off the car in most detail, but makes storage difficult so very few are manufactured or collected. Collectors and hobbyists who want more authentic details like working hoods, doors and boot trunks should opt for models built on the 1/18 scale. These cars will have finer details such as operational lights, engine electrical wiring, rubber hoses and suspension as well as a realistic interior.
Hood Open (H/O): Determines whether the car has a hood which will open to show the engine detail. Most 1/24 and 1/18 scale cars have hoods which open, but the ratio is more like 50-50 for 1/64 scale cars.
Limited Edition (LE) or Special Edition (SE) diecast cars: Highly sought after because of their rarity, LE and SE models are usually produced after the last car in a production run has been manufactured. They may have different exterior or interior features, special wheels, tyres or other modifications such as different paint. They usually come with a vehicle number outlining the total number of vehicles produced, with the first and last models usually worth more in value. Models which come with their original papers can be worth more because it is easier to verify its authenticity.
Certain diecast car models have a significantly higher value than others simply because of their availability and condition. But there are a number of basic factors that influence and affect how much a diecast car is worth.
Availability: If a car was produced in limited numbers, it tends to be worth more. This is because less cars are available so its rarity increases its potential value. Makes, model, drivers or sponsors which are highly sought after may also be worth more because they are difficult to obtain.
Trends: Market conditions can cause the price of diecast cars to vary. For example, if a specific driver wins a championship, retires or has an accident their cars often gain temporary popularity and force prices to rise.
Always carefully inspect cars in MIB and MOMC condition as vehicles may still have blemishes even though they are in their original packaging. The blister packaging should also be well inspected to see if it has any minor blemishes.
Whether you are buying diecast model cars for investment, have inherited a collection or worked hard to compile one, it is important to know how to protect and store them properly to preserve their value.
