We are collecting redline hotwheels for our new born son. Do the hot wheels with the shiny read around the wheels count as redlines? Will hot wheels even be valuable from the 2000s? Thank you
Definitely, if the wheels have a red line around them (as the racing cars used to), they are redlines.The early years of Hot Wheels are known as the Redline Era as until 1977 the wheels had a red line etched around the tire rim, popular on muscle cars at the time." Hot Wheels from the 2000s are not valuable now, but who knows. I bet in the 1970s they didn't think they would be valuable in 30 years either. If you're serious about collecting, buy two, one to play, one to save! NOTE: In 1993 Hot Wheels issued replica versions of their redline series. They are currently about 5 dollars each, much less expensive than the old ones: amzn.to/lcQ1v1
