New Collector Guides
I’ve included some guides with a few tips on F1 collectibles for collectors who are starting out.
Model cars
Being an early car modeller, I did indulge in some collecting of diecast models although I had sell a lot of them to finance my book purchases! Having said that, I know quote a few people who are obsessed with car collections and won’t hesitate to add the odd Exoto, CMC or rare Minichamps model to their collection. You can check out my beginner guide for budding collectors of F1 model cars:

Books
Collecting F1 books is a little cheaper and a well produced book can bring a lot more enjoyment when reading on the porch with a good drink. Book space can also be an issue sometimes but I do prefer a good F1 book over most diecast models, although I know lots of collectors who prefer model cars over books.
Helmets
Drivers helmets are another collectable – they can range from originals to replicas. The most popular are the mini-size helmet replicas.
Trading Cards
I’ve posted a series of posts for beginners to Topps’ various F1 trading card series collections:
