For many collectors, nothing beats the thrill of finding a Treasure Hunt or Super Treasure Hunt in the wild.
What Are Treasure Hunts?
Introduced in 1995, Treasure Hunts are special edition cars with subtle markings:
- Early T-Hunts featured a green bar on the card.
- Later editions included a flame logo hidden on the car.
What Are Super Treasure Hunts?
Introduced in 2007, Super T-Hunts are harder to find and feature:
- Premium rubber tires.
- Special Spectraflame paint.
- Gold flame logo on the card.
How to Spot Them in Stores
- Check packaging carefully for the flame logo.
- Look for premium paint jobs—they stand out.
- Examine the wheels—rubber tires are a dead giveaway.

Tips for Hunting
- Visit stores early on stock days.
- Build relationships with store employees.
- Join collector groups for trade opportunities.
Treasure Hunts are the ultimate collector’s thrill—rare, exciting, and often valuable.
