 It took a long time and a lot of patience, but I collected all 150 Collector Episode Cards still in the package behind the Racing Champions 1/144 Diecast cars.  I put up an interactive zoomable picture of the entire collection online www.dukescollector.com/144.htmI got most of the cars on ebay, but I also bought several from fellow collectors and fans. It was not easy. Some fun ones to look for in the collection are the General inserted in the package backwards, the Rosco cars with out the "Sheriff" label, and, in my opinion, the rarest of all, the white General Lee (not to be confused with the Cale Yarbough car. What do you think? |

AWESOME! GREAT JOB LARRY! That picture is great of all the packs put together. You are definitely the only person I have seen to have all the cards in the packages. What was the hardest one to find?

Number 95 was the last one I needed. It seemed to take forever. Then two popped up online. It was a good day. I never thought of it, but Bo does look like movie He-Man!

The last two were 86 and 95. I kept thinking, "Hines Ward, Greg Lloyd. Hines Ward, Greg Lloyd."

Some unique ones to look for are #80, where the plastic was attached to the back very sideways, #14, which has the General backwards, and a few others. I like the ones where the card match the car. Like #149 which is a very nice shot of Daisy's Plymouth and it happens to have the Plymouth with it. There are several Generals like that. I also like all the different price tags. Its funny how many differenrt prices they originally sold for. It kills me when I see the 2 for a dollar ones from Kay Bee Toys. No Kay Bee around here ever had them, especially not at that price. The only ones I ever found in a store were at Family Toy Warehouse. I also found a chase 1/18 Balck General Lee there. That was a great store.

Also, check out the color differences. Look at #123 and #124, compare the Dukes logo to the colors of the ones beside it. Big differences. I bet if you lined up 150 of any mass produced item, you would see differences like that. You just don't do it often.
