I enjoy attending the Matchbox Gathering in Albuqurque. It's been going on for over ten years and it has a different atmosphere than most conventions that I attend. While there is buying, selling and trading, it is a more relaxed event.
Sometimes my wife and I drive from California, sometimes we fly. It depends on our schedule. This box is from one of the times that we flew because I decided to just check the box as luggage. OK, I bought too much stuff and it wouldn't fit in my suitcase =)
Since I was going to be opening up the cars for future downhill racing videos, it didn't matter if the packages got banged up. This is fun to unbox because this was sealed up a year or two ago and I don't recall what I bought!
The Matchbox brand has changed hands a few times in history.
