Product Details

This is Dale Earnhardt Jr. #8, released in 2010 as part of The World of Cars mainline series (Character #23). This is from the early golden era of Cars collecting — the highly recognizable red glitter border packaging with purple “Collect by Number” back. These 2009–2011 releases were produced in significantly smaller quantities than modern runs and are increasingly harder to find in strong display condition. Vehicle details: • Character: Dale Earnhardt Jr. • Car number: 8 • Series number: 23 • 2010 production era • 1:55 scale die-cast • Detailed NASCAR-style sponsor tampos • Lightning tires • Made in China (early run production) This casting blends Pixar’s Cars universe with real-world NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr., making it a crossover piece that appeals to both: • Cars completion collectors • NASCAR memorabilia buyers • Early Mattel packaging collectors • Red glitter card era builders The #8 deco is one of the most recognizable NASCAR liveries of the 2000s, and that familiarity gives this piece broader appeal than standard side characters. Card shows light typical age wear along edges. Bubble appears intact and clear.
