Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Explore a comprehensive collection of vintage RC and slot car catalogs, brochures, and ephemera from renowned brands like Parma, Pactra, and Cox. This impressive lot dates from the 1960s to the 1990s, featuring essential documentation such as multi-page bound catalogs, promotional flyers, and dealer price lists. Each piece tells a story of the evolution of the hobby, showcasing pivotal innovations and marketing strategies that defined the industry.
Parma, famous for their polycarbonate bodies and slot car chassis, made significant contributions during the 80s and 90s. The catalogs present in this collection highlight their dominant role in the racing scene, making it an invaluable resource for any enthusiast.
Pactra's iconic paint products are well-represented in this lot, reflecting the brand's historic significance in the crafting of hobby paints. Their brochures promote lines like 'Authentic International Colors' and 'Formula-U,' essential for hobbyists who appreciate curated aesthetics.
Cox, a legendary name established in 1945, produced a wealth of detailed slot cars and track sets during the original slot car boom. This collection includes rare materials, such as the 1969 Cox parts catalog, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
Condition-wise, this collection is well-preserved despite minor signs of age including corner bumps and light creasing, and there are no significant defects. Perfect for collectors looking to deepen their understanding of the RC and slot car market, or for display purposes. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of hobby history!
Checkout & Payment:
After the auction you can checkout two ways: Pay the invoice via Live Auctioneers/Proxibid or pay via the Lodestar Auctions website. Credit card fees apply both ways. 2.9% & $0.30 (4.4% & $0.30 international) through Lodestar Auctions and 4-5% through Live Auctioneers/Proxibid . Lodestar Auctions collects 7% sales tax for Illinois residents only. Live Auctioneers/Proxibid collects sales tax for most states. Check with them for sales rates for your state. Any unpaid items will be automatically charged by Live Auctioneers/Proxibid three days after end of auction. At checkout pay for the item only, shipping will be billed later. See below for shipping options to choose at checkout.
Shipping:
Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
Issues:
All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
