I was wondering what a Super Treasure Hunt is.. how fascinating..it’s like a special/enhance edition.. And they are shipped out randomly to shops and collectors like find them. Is that right my man? What a super idea! This guy has one amazing collection! Great you got a beauty my man!

One more question.. Is a car in their packs (carded?) worth more than if they were out of em? Because you have the Skyline in the pack and he doesn’t..

ps. I liked the Mooneyes gold Van..oh and the Batmobiles..They were beauties!
You hit the nail on the head mate. That's it. The cars are randomly put into boxes based on the production line. Every boxes of Hot Wheels cars sent out from the factory contain 72 cars - and with the 0.02% of the production line being Super Treasure Hunts (fondly abbreviated to $TH by collectors), there is only a 1.4% chance that a box has one, so if you find one in the stores, you are extremely lucky.

Lamley has an amazing collection, but it's important to note, he gets boxes sent to him by Mattel and other toys stores promoting their range, so he's pretty lucky. He opens most of the good cars get receives to showcase them, and then donates the rest to the children's hospitals.

Yes - as a standard rule, the cars in their packs are referred to as carded ones, and they retain their value if the card itself is in good condition. A shot card pretty much means that the only real value is that of the car. An uncarded $TH is worth about 1/3 of the value of a carded one, however this can vary depending on the car.

Just got these.. they are original Lobby Cards from 1981. Basically they are scenes from the movie that are placed in the foyer of movie theatres. These are the complete set of 8 from Raiders of the Lost Ark (what a surprise!).

Mate that is such an awesome find. Exactly as @ASSASSIN said, if you have a man cave or home cinema room, these will go well in that. They're in mint condition too - nice :D

I collect old bodyboards/ boogie boards if anyone has them from the 80/90s. Show me what have. I’ve also got old basketball cards from early 90s still in sleeves never been taken out. Rookie shaq, Webber, penny hardaway and Jordan cards. Mint condition not graded
Yeah I have a box of NBA cards too, just don't know how much they are worth and where to sell them.

I think they are all Barkley and David Robinson ones

Had a Robinson card back in the day, wasn’t a picture but a painted one and back then it was worth some good coin , only found out after I got rid of the cards.

No idea how these things are valued now, back then it had the word shark if I remember.

I went to a place down here in Wollongong and he said majority of old nba cards are worth nothing

Yes the majoity have no value but there are some cards that do.

Beckett back in the day and there are plenty of options online to find the value of cards.

These babies are on their way today:

The black Prado and black Altezza (Lexus) are what are know as 'chase' cars. Chase cars are always numbered 0/5, and are not in every box like the regular 1-5 cars, they are extremely rare and hard to find, equivalent to being Treasure Hunts of the premium series, so these ones were pretty expensive.

As the same seller had the regular ones for sale, I bought one of each of them too (the silver ones).

Here are my new Indy memorabilia..(note this are pics from the net..my actual stuff is still nice and comfy in my post pack ready from farming)..I did have a sneak peek..

They are more Lobby Cards.
The first is some individual ones from Temple of Doom. The second is a poster of lobby cards from Last Crusade. It is very delicate.

I have too many brother - over 2000. Most of them are stored in boxes which are categorised by car brands (make or model), except for the really high price ones which are in a secure box.
