I was a member of the Matchbox Collector's Club in the 1970's. This is from the Summer 1975 newsletter. They sent me six new models. What fun.

Wow, an actual celebrity on HT. I thought I was somebody when I got my name in the phone book. Washington must be a good place to live I see you're still there.
Great post Matchboxtom.

the M.A.C. issue

I was in that, too, from 1972-74 but I never had my picture in it.

Yes indeedy :thumbsup: I would like to see those 6 models if you still have them today ? Some of us got hooked for life by that Lesney product (and some people smoke cigarettes :wave: ,I know which habit I prefer!)

Way to go Hollywood Tom!!!! Glad to see you still enjoy playing with your cars!

Only one girl in the bunch huh? I never could get my daughter who is 11 now, into the diecast scene. She takes after her mother who doesn't believe in collecting anything.

She won't collect diecast but she would probably wear a cool jacket like yours...
