Soul Forge Podcast

Mint versus loose. Which is better? How do you choose to present your collection? Is there really that much of a difference between mint and loose collecting? All that and more on this week's exciting episode of The Soul Forge Podcast! But first, an update on my Hot Wheels collecting. I have been steadily on the hunt for new and unique die cast cars. YouTube has been a great source of information. People have different tastes in vehicles. It seems as though many collectors do not like the fantasy casts. Instead they prefer to only collect real-world models. This hobby can make one quite obsessive. So, mint or loose? What terms do we need to be familiar with? MOC : Mint on card MIB : Mint in box MIP : Mint in package HTF : Hard to find VHTF : Very hard to find Carded : Figure is still on original backing card. Boxed : Figure is still in original box. Loose : Figure is no longer in it's original box or card. Complete : Figure has all of its original accessories. Punched : The hole used to hang the card on a peg
