Tiny Treasures on a Grand Scale
Diecast cars, those miniature replicas of real-world vehicles, have captured the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts of all ages. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these tiny marvels offer a tangible connection to the automotive world.

A Brief History
The history of diecast cars traces back to the early 20th century, when manufacturers began producing miniature models as toys and promotional items. Initially made of lead, these early models were simple and often lacked intricate details. As technology advanced, so did the manufacturing process, leading to the development of more complex and realistic models. Today, diecast cars are produced in a variety of scales, from 1:87 to 1:18, and feature an astonishing level of detail, including opening doors, hoods, and trunks.

Welcome, new collectors, to the world of diecast chasing! This guide helps identify and understand chases from various brands. Values are influenced by factors like time since release and casting popularity. 

Hot Wheels

• Regular Treasure Hunts: Common (around 95% of cases), identified by a flame logo on the car and a silver flame on the card. Value is usually similar to mainlines.
• ID Chases: Harder to find, feature spectraflame paint, an ID chip, and the ID symbol. Come on white cards. Rarer than Regular Treasure Hunts but less rare than Super Treasure Hunts.
• Super Treasure Hunts: Rare (estimated 1 in 10 to 1 in 15 cases), feature spectraflame paint, Real Rider wheels, and the TH symbol. Come on cards with a gold flame. Value is generally high but varies by casting.
