11/7/02 UPDATE: Spent the day adding items to the Memorabilia Section, particularly to the Autographed Programs and Race Program pages. Some interesting stuff in there!
11/5/02 UPDATE: We'll be
adding pages to our Holiday
Gift Guide on a regular basis between now and Christmas. It's
going to be an unusual Holiday season, partially due to the west
coast dock strike last month. Major die cast companies are already
warning us that many (if not most) of their late 2002 releases
are not going to make it in time for Christmas. There's going
to be a LOT of misinformation out there. We'll give you
the straight story, and hope you'll respond by giving your business
to TMC.
Some of the collections we've aquired lately included some interesting old race programs and magazines. Some of the artwork on 50's and early 60's Road America programs was quite good. This week's Feature is our collection of Vintage Road America Programs.
Other race programs will be added soon.
11/1/02 UPDATE: Hope we're not rushing the season too much but here
are the first offerings in our Holiday
Gift Guide. Lots more to come!
