I bought this awesome Bud 1995 Ken Schrader mirror today from an antique store....



I got these too, from the same place.....

The Dallenbach 46 is the Devil Rays paint scheme, and the Benson 10 is the '03 Grand Prix. I've always wanted an AC Delco Dale Jr. car, and Jason Keller is my all-time favorite BGN driver. The Gordon Brickyard pocketknife is a really cool find that I've never seen before. I'm really happy with everything I got, especially considering how little I paid.

Earlier in the week, I found these Supertruck diecasts for $2 each at a local secondhand store. I already have most of these (bought new in '95) but didn't keep them in the package, so I thought they were worth the purchase....

That's the first time I've seen a Scott Lagasse 24 truck. I've only seen the Gordon/Hendrick version, so finding the Lagasse was a really cool surprise since he was the guy who actually ended up driving it.

Nice find.

I actually have that exact same mirror, along with a bigger one of the Budweiser 11 car (pretty sure it's the Bill Elliott one). I've had them for probably 20 years or more and have both hanging in my living room, one on each side of my TV, along with various other diecasts etc (all Dale Earnhardt ones that I've had since I was a kid and have never been opened/still in pack) hanging on the wall underneath, and a DEI touch lamp.
 
It's not NASCAR, but still pretty damn cool. I picked up this Rahal metal sign today for dirt cheap. I'm running out of wall space in my apartment, and still have a ton of stuff in storage that's waiting to come out once I'm back in a house again

Just got a couple of #20 Next Gens over the last couple of weeks. Cleared out the 18 stuff. I have room now.
 
Got this over the weekend, and put it up on the bedroom wall since there's no room anywhere else in my apartment.....

It's from a 2010 Matt Crafton truck, not sure of which race yet.....

Aside from buying a new Byron diecast every couple of years, I've sort of drifted away from NASCAR memorabilia. I will try buying track souvenirs if I go to a new track though, but that's it. Over the past 4 years, I've really took a liking for horror movie collectibles and figures, but since this is the NASCAR chat, I'll avoid posting those pictures. With that said, I love seeing the collections that other people have. Even when I go to flea markets and antique malls, I have no intentions of buying anything, but I still love looking at all the random racing stuff.

Here’s my two new items after the Kansas race. Had to get some Kansas Speedway flare, so I made the photo into a canvas. Slightly regret the die cast as it’s not great quality, but whatever…I like the paint scheme.
 
Hopefully you got the "revised" diecast, since luckily they realized how hideous that random shape looked on the quarter panel and B-C pillars before they actually made the initial paint scheme into real life....

Not a Browns fan but I am a Gators fan, grew up loving Spurrier as the Ol Ball Coach, Danny Wuerfful slinging it and their rivalry vs FSU in the early to mid 90's was fun. But yea I second that, some sweet racing stuff in that basement, looks awesome.

@2 Sweet , Great looking man cave for sure, well done. :booya:

BTW, I watched Spurrier as the Quarterback in the swamp on several occasions, many moons ago. It was electric in the swamp.

If you have somewhere to display it, it’s not too much. I only consider things unnecessary when they are just being stored under the bed or in the closet.

That's awesome! Spurrier is my all-time favorite sports figure. Absolute legend! There will never be another athlete or coach like him. I've only been to the Swamp for a spring game, but eventually I'll make it down there for a game in the fall.

Oh, I still have boxes of diecasts, plus other stuff I haven't unpacked yet. I already gave away a bunch of signs, flags, posters, hero cards etc. to one of my buddies who loves NASCAR. Eventually I'll get some kind of large display cabinet

Check out my new diecast! 😂 Yes, I’m a 34 year old who still buys legos. I never claimed to be mature for my age. Plus, it was like 25% of what an actual diecast costs these days.

Does anyone else remember when Legos were just a pile of blocks and YOU had to figure out how to make something out it? Boy I miss those days.

It’s funny, cuz I text my sister, who’s big time into legos, this picture and told her how much things have changed since the old days. We used to get excited when we’d go to my uncles house and get to play with the legos he had. Lego cars looked so basic back then, but yes it was fun letting your creative mind do whatever it wanted to do. I mean, those days aren’t over. You can still buy random sets and build whatever you want. It’s just actual sets are more appealing to those who actually want to build something and display it, rather than building a boxed car, just to take it apart right afterwards.
 
I'm 72 and we had no Lincoln logs or legos but, I did have a Mattel lever action rifle that shot plastic bullets and double cap pistol with holster. Tonka Road grader and Tonka dump trucks, IH toy tractors, discs and wagons (be interesting to see who here knows anything I am listing, especially IH).
