I have been trying to find a good way to display without opening the packages. I bought some poster frame and cut to length to get this:

Anybody have any better ideas? I would lke to display the car name too, but the poster frame method will not allow.

old thread - just noticed

i buy a lot of mostly 1/43 & matchbox size models on eBay - no boxes in many cases cuz the old cars are old & lost & sometime kid toys -

strictly for nostalgia - no illusions about collectible value

(S.O. rightly says stuff like this only ends up in dumpster when we die)

display space is at a premium - and S.O. has rules

- my quest is to have one of each interesting car i remember owning & in the colors i owned - 46 so far, since 2011 -

case is from Franklin Mint longer ago - case is 24x13x6, mirror back
(about max'd now): - i'll buy a larger model only if can't find small one, & replace it with a small one, if/when i find it

if i do get boxes & such i put 'em folded into a big carton in storage "for someday"
