I haven't bought too much the past couple of years. Cost too much!
I never got into 1/24th scale (takes up too much room) and only bought a few 1/64th cars.
It was nicer "way-back-when" when the driver you liked.....stayed in that car! only change was POSSIBLY a paint scheme change and that was rare back then.
Now-day's , you buy a car and find out he's switching teams at the end of year ! So don't remodel the hobby room !!
At least with my cards...they don't take alot of space. put'em in the binder folder and they are safe and sound.....but haven't even bought any of them for awhile.
It's just STUFF , been thinking about thinning it down lately.
but it's hard!!! Like any of your old junk you come accross after not seeing it for awhile!! Ya just can't do it!!!! I has just enough sentimental value to you to keep from getting tossed aside.

Richard is a class act that will bend over backwards to sign if asked ( as time permits ). Anyways , I kept on with Earnhardt jr to carry on the Earnhardt Loyalty !!!
