Not just nostalgia: Your old toy cars could be a secret goldmine

This article discusses the growing interest in collecting vintage toy cars, particularly among adults, and highlights their increasing monetary value. It mentions specific examples like Holden and Ford models, noting that some can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Collectors often seek out rare or limited-edition models, such as the Corgi Batmobile from the 1960s, which can be worth significantly more if kept in original packaging. Retailers note that demand for these items has led to shortages, especially for older models from the 1920s and '30s.
