    Appreciated! If they're gone, no worries, we've had good distribution of the Car Culture sets around here, just requires a little patience.

    For display ideas, here's a good video for displaying cars (carded and loose): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOjnOLD-cpU

    I have a few picture frames that use a similar idea to the first part of his video, you can sort of see it in action here:

    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Nice. I like to display each card's artwork, so maybe I could modify the "rail" idea.

    Some of my collection, now as a garage decor. Anyone have suggestions for nicer display cases?


    Ever watched one of Adam's (RevLimiter) instructional videos? High on the chub scale for his display case work in the background. JM2C!

    I was planning to bring some from what I had pulled out of my collection to sell, but had a guy buy the whole lot Tuesday night, 1590 cars in one shot. I've got a few other boxes to go through so I may still have some stuff to bring, but it's the nicer stuff: RLC, Supers, and such.

    This is the first KDay I'll be missing in a very long time. Fortunately a buddy of mine is taking care of me on the receipt side and I gave him enough cardbacks to get two of the Datsuns for me. And aside from the recolor on the Fairlady there is nothing else coming out in the KDay cases that I want.

    Posting this, trying to focus on my skyline collection since my Datsun/Miata collection is much closer to completion.

    Maybe some people have some stuff tucked away that can help.

    Found a complete set of the Vintage American Muscle set from Walmart. Also found a couple Mystery Cars sets, and grabbed a few Furais and one COPO Camaro.
    Anyone looking for a Furai model?

    I've been been doing K-day since it first started.

    First Super Treasure Hunt I've got at these events.
