How to assess an item
Value depends on age, make, rarity and condition. For die-cast models, original paint without wear and the original box count; for cards, sharp corners and clean printing.
Frequently asked questions
What are Matchbox and Corgi models? Small die-cast metal model cars made by British manufacturers. They were very popular in Czechoslovakia, where they were known as angličáky, and are now sought-after collectibles.
Why are cards of old cars valued? They show cars from the early days of motoring that survive only in museums. Cards from before the First World War are rare and graphically attractive.
How should model cars be stored? In a display case or box, away from direct sunlight and dust. Keep the original box, as it considerably raises the value of the model.
