Any Dale Earnhardt SR collector?

[Caligula]

My father died last January, and he left me load of stuff, over 125k sport cards (baseball,football,racing,basketball,etc) and about 10,000+ mint diecast cars. it was his 25+ years hobby and he left it all to me. i know most of these stuff but im overwhelmed.

My dad had most of Dale Earnhardt collection, diecast, (cars and bank both are identical cars in different scales 1:24, 1:18, 1:32. 1:64, action, elite,revell, winner circles), lineups, membolia, lot signatures stuff. These stuff is in 10x10 storage and its full. I was wondering if anyone here collect these kind of stuff.

I m not selling it but am selling cards, etc not related to dale earnhardt sr and JR. I might need some advices from collector here.

I don't actually collect the NASCAR stuff which is actually quite amazing because I love NASCAR and have actively followed all 3 series (trucks, Nationwide, and Cup) for the past 10 years or so.
Sounds like an amazing haul.
I would certainly take the time to get an accurate appraisal of everything.
You could start with a Beckett diecast guide.
I think they exist.
if it's not Beckett, then it's just another company.
there should be a couple of good monthly NASCAR related price guide magazines that you could order online if you have no collectable racing shops in your area.
if it was your father's main hobby though, he probably frequented the area stores anyway.

MY father shopped everywhere in US for his dale collection. I will get an accurate appraisal on everything he left to me.I looked up in Philadelphia and i dont see any nascar store or shop. However i plan not to sell Dale's stuff unless im offered good sum of money. I am selling cards because i have no room. they are in 10x10 storage and 2 storage room in my house which is about 5x6 each.

When he died, he left it all to me and i was forced to remove our stuff in these room and wife want it back. I have no interest in cards and why should i keep it and pay storage room. Storage room is climated building, cost me about 150 a month plus abt 75 for renter insurance. IT doesnt make any sense so i decided to sell cards, memborolia, signature stuff, mickey mantle stuff, etc.

I also have Richard Petty, Jeff gordon, bill elliott, many drivers diecast cars and cards.
