Die Cast/Antique toy show today.

CrzyTrkrDude Saturday, 4/25/2015

So, my incredible wife is strolling around Facebook this morning and stumbles on an antique toy/DieCast show about an hour away..... 

Nickelcast show in Tunnel Hill, ( Northern) Ga off i75.

I think I saw they might have a track set up....  DANG ME FOR SENDING IN MY REDBALL TEAM SO EARLY!!!  LOL

I'll keep ya'll posted if I find anything.

But, I think this is gonna be more of a fact finding, contact meeting, spread the word about THIS AWESOME SITE we all have come to know and LOVE!!!!  RED LINE DERBY!!!!


If you happen to see me, ( a rather large, late 40's guy in glasses, who looks like his back hurts, walking around with the PURDIEST country girl in the south)

Feel free to ask if I'm Crazy Trucker Dude!!

Wish me luck!!

Welp, I think we did pretty good.

I spread the word to those who were listening. One guy really seemed like he was interested. ( another trucker, go figure... Lol). 

It was kinda a small show. Probably around 40-50 tables set up in the back of a place called "Grumpys". I think it's an antique store. I'm gonna have to google it.

 70% die cast. 80% of that was HW. 

They had a track set up. A customized car show. Raffles and plenty of room to move around. 

Personally, I wish I could have stayed longer, but my back was bothering me. And I skipped out on an isle that looked mostly of comic books. 

Unfortunately, I was not able to stay for the race. There was not much organization it seemed. They were running behind schedule.( stalling I think, holding out for more than the 12 cars the youngsters entered).

Wasn't able to stay for the winners of the custom show either. I'll edit and post those pictures soon.

As for our haul.... We were kinda on a budget, and pretty much went over... But I think we did pretty good. There was a TON of stuff to pull from for all lines anyone could be interested in.

I was concentrating on the loose cars, and the junkets for future projects and a few things here and there to display or share.

We'll see what happens... 

Gonna send a PM to Mr Bryan, with a couple flyers for future events. Maybe reach out to them to help spread the word ? I dunno.

Annnnnd.....  The best part of the day.....

TRKRWIFE DID AWESOME!!!!  

She spotted some VERY COOL ( to us) personal collection and project deals. Did some wheeling and dealing, and dug through the parts buckets like a CHAMP!!  SHE DID GREAT FOR HER FIRST EVER DIECAST SHOW!!! THANK YOU TRUCKERWIFE!!
