I have a box full of original 1968 Hot Wheels from when I was a kid. I've checked on Ebay and some are going for big bucks.

Unfortunately not. They're in a Collector's Race Case with the matching metal button for each car.

Ah OK... I remember those buttons from my dads cars he had. He did not have many and all are gone now but I remember those. I am sure yours are still worth something especially with the buttons!

My mom had a box of them that I played with when I was little too...I believe we have the Collector's Race Case too. I don't think we have anything other than the cars...but I'm sure they are still around and are likely from 1968 and shortly thereafter because mom was born in 1961.They are dirty and icky though. LOL I used to play with them in the dirt piles when they were building the other houses in our subdivision.
