Nail the license plates up on the wall in your workshop as they will look good.
Visitors will look at them and ask about the size and where did you obtain them.

As for the photocards, I keep then altogether and periodically scan the images on the cards.
There is always something different that I will notice.

As for the pogs, keys, and other swag; you have to decide if you want to keep them.
Some of these items are more junk than others.

Cheers. Cobra

Support your local demo derby.

I've kept all of the cards, monopoly pieces, and metal license plates that came with my JLs. They're all in a box right now. I've thought when given the time and spare cash that it would be cool to buy some frames that had black foam padding inside. Toss in a few of the assorted items and then hang the frame on the wall in your display/toy room. Would be a cheap and effective way to display some of this stuff while adding a little flair to your show room.

I used the Mopar or No Car, Hot Rod Mag cards as pics inside what buildings I have. Many others here have done this in their dioramas too.

I've gotten rid of all the cards. I still have some of the license plates and coins that I need to get rid of.
The only extra I'm interested in keeping is the Monopoly pieces.

I have the minature license plates tacked on a bulletin board - also have real plates hanging in various areas of my dispaly area. I have kept the "collector cards" in the clear card pages in a notebook much like one would collect baseball cards. And my wife and I have actually used some of the minature Monopoly pieces to play the game - I always use the Studebaker pickup! :D Otherwise those are kept with the Monopoly cars on display.

Likewise I suppose the CLUE pieces could be used to play the game

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I've kept all of my promo pieces also. On a side note, I bought several of the Monopoly cars specifically for the playing pieces! I used the '68 Mustang in two tournaments. Won my qualifier and then came in third overall at the first one (one spot out of the money, isn't that how it always works?)...and I managed to survive right until the very end of the second year despite arriving right after they had doled out properties. So I started in the hole big time and was just thrilled to still be running a few minutes before the finish. I was not pleased with how they ran it the second year (doled out properties before the game even started, really?) and I was unaware of any later tournaments or I probably would have gone.

We did use the monopoly pieces also. I've still got the poker chips. Did any body ever complete the card deck that came with the later poker series.

Nope. I just couldn't bring myself to get all of the cars in that series... :unsure:
