Do you take them out or keep them carded?
>>11299164I kept a lot of the cards but I would be scratching at the back of it before the car even left the Wal-Mart parking lot.
>>11299164I'm starting to do this, I used to take them out but I have no more space on my shelves.
I even put them in the protectors.
I buy two. They're cheap.
I don't buy or collect them but I intentionally bend the cards in the store to ruin their value
>>11299164i would leave mine in the card but overtime the plastic display case would crack. i stopped collecting HW thanks to scalpers ruining the hobby.
Ive met a few hotwheels guys, one is really chill and is just an auto enthusiast at heart. One or two were collectors who were a bit more involved in collecting but ive yet to see the whackos ive read about.
>>11300738Hot Wheels Guys are a special kind of collector-dom where they're either the chillest people you'll ever meet or complete lunatics. There's almost zero middle ground.
>>11300788True. I just like cars. I blame the stupid treasure hunt bullshit for the lunatics.
>>11299164I leave them carded in the store for children to purchase
