For San Diego Padres die-casts, MLB.com (the official Major League Baseball site) is the best online store we've found. Right now they have a selection of model cars and trucks, as well as McFarlane action figures. Click on Collectibles in the top tool bar, then in the left column select Figurines & Die-Cast and San Diego in the scrollbars.

If you have the time, you might also have luck at eBay. You may find a good deal. Here are some live eBay auctions for San Diego Padres die-casts, if available:

If you collect die-casts, you definitely need a guide book. Dan Zachofsky's Handbook for Collecting Baseball Memorabilia is a good source for information on baseball collectibles, especially if you're new to the hobby. There is also a Standard Catalog of Die-Cast Vehicles.

By the way, eBay is also your best bet if you want to sell San Diego Padres die-casts and collectibles. Auctions have always been the best way to get top dollar for your items, and now thanks to eBay's extremely active baseball auctions, it's easy for anyone to auction off their collection. (A mainstream brick-and-mortar auction house will generally only deal with you if you have a large collection or some very valuable die-casts. And they'll take a percentage of the total sales, say 10 to 25 percent, for their service.) Click here for eBay, or eBay UK or eBay Canada if that's where you're located.

Good luck, and have fun!

Sincerely,

Chris Whitten
