WHAT IS THE TOY CAR COLLECTOR?
My name is David Williamson and I have been collecting toy cars since 1966 when my dad brought home a Matchbox #6 Euclid Dump Truck. From that time on I never stopped collecting toy cars. I started this monthly list in July of 1991 to sell a few of my extra cars. My first list was sent to 13 people and had only 17 cars listed. As of November 1st, 2009 my list has: 1,445 Redline Hot Wheels plus I have about 300 more to add 831 Lesney Matchbox plus I have about 400 more to add a total of 5,046 items in all if you include stickers and miscellaneous This website currently has 29,447 photos and is nearly 2 gigabytes in size If everything on this site was in a large room and you started the site from scratch it would take nearly 2 years to create it working 40 hours per week. That is provided you already had full knowledge of all of these models, how to judge condition, what they are worth, web site design, photography and inventory control. And it helps to have been active in the collector’
