This thread continues to motivate me. Two grandson's are over today and I gave them my die cast 1/24th model collection that appears in this photo.

They had fun taking turns picking the ones they wanted. The top two picks were miles apart - new Viper and the old original T-Bird. The 12 year old is sitting in my MG and says "Would you leave me this in your will?" What can I say, he is the smartest of all of my grandkids!

Yes, Bill. The only caveat is that you must be pretty accurate to what is actually in the note area with the first few characters of whatever it is that you seek.

For instance, Z0 6 will not get the result that Z06 will get.

I must ask, would you consider adopting a short, old man from the Midwest?

Excellent. Now you can pack boxes based on what best fits inside rather than by vehicle or some other subject matter.

Nice to be part of passing things over to them now, and getting to see them enjoy the items vs when you can't participate. You know when you're ah...................................dead.

What's with or in all the Buckhorn Beer boxes?

My grandson will probably get my signed personal letter and photo from Mickey Mantle when I kick the bucket. He will probably sell it and buy a nice car. That's ok.

Dave previously explained that he bought those filled with beer because they are the best boxes made! He felt obligated to drink all the beer before using them for storage. Waste not want not and all that.

Yep! Lainey, if you put on your I SPY GLASSES you will see each is numbered. In box #7 you will find what I expressed above.
