Anyone that collects or is interested in collecting Nascar collectibles needs to know this! There is a difference in cars.There are originals(cars that are made the same year as there make)example a 2000 Dale Earnhardt Taz or PeterMax.If it's an original it will have the year 2000 on the box.The same car as a remake could have the year 2003 2004 or 2005 on the box.The remakes are not fakes,don't get me wrong,but are nowhere near as valuable as originals.The only exceptions are possibly 1996 Dale Earnhardt Silver Select, low production ,and rcca or club cars, and cars like those.So when looking for originals ask alot of questions,so you get exactly what you're looking for.Trust me I've been burned.   Thank you
