Master Castings List - PDF for download

vidmouse Friday, 9/28/2012

I wanted a complete but short listing of castings to look for while going shopping and to conventions and such. Using the Texas Diecast database and excel, I was able to squeeze everything into four pages, on this pdf

Let me know what you think!

Nice job. It makes me dizzy just looking at it.

Wow, that's a lot - reminds me of the checklists that came in your baseball card packs. Thanks for the effort. I didn't realize there was a database that you could pull from. Can you send me the excel file you made? werace@redlinederby.com - I could take that data and make a nice online version of the checklist...might help as we develop more collecting/trading tools.

Yes, it does. The first thing I thought of was some checklist I made years ago to keep in my wallet for when I went looking for back issues of comic books.

Here, I put it up on my website instead, in case anyone else wants to download the excel version.
Maybe that is a little nicer, as you can search it and make tick marks.

This excel version is a little better... I noticed a few errors in the list that I've since corrected.

Glad to help

Thanks!

Unfortunately I found some more errors --- for some reason the cars starting with "O" didn't
all copy over so I will have to do (sigh) another update soon... stay tuned
