Everyone has a favorite car. People both young and old love cars, and may have multiple favorites. While they may not be able to own these cars in real life, they can turn to die cast cars to get their fix.

People collect things for a number of different reasons. Some collectors have a nostalgic attachment to certain collectible items or the toys of their youth. For them, collecting is a fun hobby that brings them back to their childhood. Other collectors may be fascinated by cars, trains, or a specific historical period. These collectors may look for items that remind them of their interests. Then there are collectors who see their collections as a financial investment. They may still choose to purchase items they enjoy owning or displaying, or they may simply purchase collectibles that they believe will grow in value more than others.

Diecast car collectors fall into all of these categories and more. Many collectors would describe themselves as belonging to more than one category. Some are car enthusiasts who enjoy model cars, but also hope to sell their collections for a profit one day. A lot of them may have started collecting toy cars as a kid from such popular brands as Hotwheels and Matchbox. These brands are known for their small 1:62 scale cars. As collectors get older, they often still enjoy adding cars to their collection. But as they age, they are able to spend more on their hobby and purchase larger, more-detailed, and pricier models.
