This needs to be added
 

to the oddball list.It is a 2000 Tiger Wheels Puerto Rice Towns Series limited edition van...I believe it is limited to 5000

also to the oddball list a 97 cup celebrating Juan's 96 MVP season

I bet adelith would kill for that item.

I got it on an ebay auction a few years back...forgot all about it and just found it today

Hey Mike.will you add them?

Kevin

Does your camera have a macro setting?

If so, try using it when take pictures close up.
They won't be as blurry.

Sure...can you add the pictures??

Thanks Mike...pics uploaded...I'll try to get better pics up there

Damn, that van is cool but I am sure Adelith has it.

I do, as Tiger is a brand commission by a Puertorican guy. What you must all know is that the tampos were not factory placed, and the #'d is limited to 5000 pieces (the VW Van, not the Juan Gonzalez tampos Van in specific) that makes it more limited but no record of how limited it is exactly.

That makes total sense to me because on the front of the package it says limited edition 1/576 and mine is stamped 271.is it possible there are only 576 Gonzos?

Unfortunately with this Tiger products you never know. As I mentioned in the past I also collect Diecast cars and my experienced with Tiger is that not always the number is what they claim to be...:confused:

Are you sure that van is 2000? The photo on the top really looks like a one of the 2001 spring training photos that is in the gallery.

As I indicate, nothing can be confirmed with this Item, The box indicate 2000, but that's probably the release year of the VW Van Production, not necessarily the release of the Juan Gonzalez tampo van. They order the diecast plain, then they produce the different tampos and placed them into the different models localy. (timeframes for that procedures are unknow:confused:).

Tampo? Is that a sticker?

It is the same as this image http://www.juangone.com/images/juan/juan_small4.jpg which is from 2001 Spring Training.

a tampo is a decal that are put on most dicast collectibles.i have never seen the van before i could not say its a sticker or not. more than likley it is not.most vw buses bring higher dollar amounts in die cast.the 2006 vw karmann ghia ist edition is real tough. the vw juan van is AWESOME! I NOW WILL HAVE TO FIND ONE!

By the feel of it I do believe that the decals are stickers of some sort.I'm glad everyone likes it.I know I got it using a buy it now price.I think it was 9.99 but may have been 14.99.My friend has a Pudge version...
