(Largest?)German Corgi Toys collection(swap/sale)

[Thepowerofdreams]

First of all greetings from a passionate German Corgi Toys collector,
I am happy to have found this forum and to share experiences and swap duplicates if appropriate.
As most of you, I am a "silver ager", having started my collector's passion in the early days when the biggest auction house of the world just had started business.
At that time, when trying to get hold of one of my childhood toys, the famous Batmobile, I was successful, followed buy many other "must haves".
Looking backward I have to say, I made two fundamental mistakes, a collector should not make: I did not take records of what I bought for which price
and I did not limit my collection to a certain range, age, or else - so finally it got a little out of control.
I have to say "enough is enough", therefore I am looking forward for nice contacts with collectors, sharing experiences and maybe I can help someone to fill a gap in his collection.
I tend to join German swap meets as an exhibitor, but in contrary to the U.K. there are only one hand full per year - thereby effort and outcome are very questionable.
I have archived my collection, using a simple homepage construction kit - unfortunately the descriptions are in German language - but as phrases do repeat anyhow, it is not really
difficult for you to make your way through, I believe.
You find it under:

But: primary target for this post is not selling, but making nice contacts with people sharing the same passion.
"Happy browsing"!
Best regards
Wolfgang

Thank You Wolfgang for your excellent site and your story of collecting these toys through the years. I have a good friend of mine from New Jersey who you may know already who is a Corgi collector/ Dealer over here that I can notify about your main interest. You may already be friends with him, so I will just call him professor Bob for now. He visits our Albany New York Toy Show every March, but I will be seeing him at Charlie Mack's Matchbox Convention in June of this year if not sooner. Sehr Gut mein Freund....High School German was a Long, Long, time ago.......kwakers
