What are common pitfalls to avoid when collecting slot cars

Sure! Here are four different responses:

**Overlooking Condition**: One big pitfall is not paying attention to the condition of the cars. Some collectors get excited and buy without checking for scratches, missing parts, or any signs of wear. Always inspect before you buy!

**Ignoring Research**: A lot of collectors dive in without doing their homework. It's super important to know the value of the cars you’re interested in and understand the market trends. Otherwise, you might end up overpaying or missing out on rare finds.

**Focusing Only on New Releases**: Some folks think they can only collect the latest models, but that can be a mistake. Vintage slot cars can be just as fun and often have a lot more character. Don’t ignore the classics!
