The Diecast Toy Exchange - Matchbox Collector's Show - Sun 9/25/11

Matchbox Show Returns - September 25th!

If you're a collector or fan of Matchbox cars then we have just the event for you. The Diecast Toy Exchange is hosting a Matchbox Collector's show here at the Antique Automobile Club of America Museum (AACA) on Sunday, September 25 from 9AM to 4PM.

The event will allow visitors to add to or begin a Matchbox collection as all cars will be for sale. Vendors will be showcasing toy cars from the entire history of Matchbox -- from the first car in the 1950's all the way through present day vehicles.

To support this event, the AACA Museum is offering $5.00 admission (half the normal admission price) to encourage visitors to attend this one-day show.

This year's show model is a Model A Hot Rod limited to 72 pieces available. {see picture above}

For years there was a Matchbox collectors show held at the Hershey Lodge, pretty big for what I can remember of the advertising back then (I think it was held in June). I never went to any of those, but they were advertised heavily in the amusement park. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it to this show either, but hopefully it did well enough that it will become an annual event at the museum and maybe with more advanced notice I can plan this in

IIRC there is a annual national Matchbox convention in NJ somewhere. There is so many interesting events in the diecast, model car, and 1:1 car world that happen in PA and elsewhere on the East Coast...wouldn't mind being closer than a 4-5 hr plane ride..
