Sounds like a 1:43 scale to me. Diecast prices have fallen worse than the stock
market. Glad my 300+ are for show...YEAH RIGHT

I stopped collecting nascar diecast a couple of years ago. They've
saturated the market with constant "special" paint schemes, and
collectors are losing interest in droves.
I've started collecting classic american race cars. Like you Dan, I
don't collect for the car's resale value, and I even threw the
packaging away for every one of the almost 500 1/64 nascar cars I
have.

Your best bet is to find a bookstore/newsstand (B&N and Kroger's comes
to mind here in Cincinnati) that sells the magazine "Die Cast Digest."
From there, take they're book value and divide by 2-4 to get a "real"
price. ;)
Another bet is perodically snoop eBay to see what they go for.
