Search and Photo ID

Search by name first. Use photos if the words are weak.

Start with the clue you already have. Search by casting name, year, series, wheel type, or base text. If that still leaves two or three close cars, switch to photo ID and narrow it down with pictures.

1. Type what you knowName, year, series, wheel, or base text.
2. Open the closest matchCheck the body, wheels, base, and graphics.
3. Use photo ID if neededAdd photos when the words still are not enough.
Step 1

Use the name, year, series, wheel, or base clue.

This works best when you can read at least one useful clue from the car, the card, or the seller title.

Fast card check

Read the barcode when the card is still there.

A barcode can help you research the card, but it usually does not prove the exact car by itself. Use it as one clue, then compare the year, series, collector number, and pictures.

Use barcode when you still have the card or blister. Then match the casting details before you trust the result.

Step 2 if needed

Use photo ID when the words are not enough.

Upload the car and narrow the likely matches before you move into the value step.
