Super Trade with Local Collector

After work on Monday (5th January) I meet up with a fellow Hot Wheels collector who lives in the same town. He had a car for me that he had to give me and we also had new findings to show each other.

In early 2014, I did a trade with this collector - 3 Super Treasure Hunts for "credit" on future finds. His job enables him to travel further than I can, and this allows him to sometimes find more Super Treasure Hunts than I can.

Having 2 credits up my sleeve came in handy, when I received a text message letting me know he had found a Super Treasure Hunt Kool Kombi and as he already had one, this one was mine. At the time, 2 down for 2015 and 2015 had not even started.

At the meeting, I showed him my recently acquired 2013 Super Treasure Hunt set, along with the 55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser and the 71 Datsun 510 Wagon. In turn, he showed me a 64 Chevy Nova Station Wagon and a re-carded 83 Chevy Silverado that he had found in a 20 pack and had managed to convince the store to replace it with a mainline version he purchased off the peg! I was also able to use my last credit, and acquired a spare Toyota AE-86 Corolla Super Treasure Hunt for future trading purposes.

All in all, a very good catch-up
