This series was released in 1993 by Matchbox. Each yellow, red and blue blister package included one plastic Indy 500 collector coin featuring a car and/or driver of a race winning Indy 500 event or other event such as fastest lap. The coin was packaged with either a die-cast Indy car, a fuel truck, or a wrecker. There were six different die-cast cars produced to resemble actual Indy cars driven during the event, one generic Indy car die-cast (black, green and pink paint scheme), and the fuel truck and wrecker which were all randomly packaged with one of the coins. We've cataloged and priced each blister package below only by the identification of the coin and in order of the year of the Indy event featured on the coin since this is how they are normally sold. Slight premiums are often paid on combinations that include one of the more popular coins and a popular paint scheme of die-cast. Note also that the backs of the blisters feature a copyright year of 1992, but all were issued during 1993. This series is a continuation of the 1991 and 1992 sets and can be identified by the simple Indianapolis Motor Speedway logo on the front instead of the logos which indicate the year of issue used in 1991 and 1992. Also, the die-cast piece rests on top of a red cardboard display within the blister package. [Collapse]
