Our Story

About The Hall

The Hall of Honor is a community-driven institution dedicated to recognizing the people, brands, and moments that define the community — preserved as a permanent legacy for generations to come.

Our Mission

Honoring those who
shaped the hobby.

Established in 2016, the Hall of Honor was founded to permanently recognize individuals, companies, and creators whose contributions transformed diecast collecting from a niche pastime into a global community.

Each year a class of inductees is selected by collectors, judges, and committee members. The induction ceremony is the highlight of the Diecast Super Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Our mission is simple: preserve the legacy of the legends, and inspire the next generation of collectors, designers, and storytellers.

Hall of Honor Custom Ring
The Ultimate Artifact

The Hall of
Honor Ring.

Every inductee receives a custom-designed Hall of Honor ring — a symbol of permanent recognition within the diecast community. Each ring is presented on stage during the formal induction ceremony.

Crafted in partnership with Jostens Inc., the ring is accompanied by a personalized certificate and a place on the Hall of Honor wall, joining a permanent record of the industry's greatest contributors.

It is more than jewelry. It is a piece of history — worn by those whose legacy has earned its place.
