Posted By: <b>Chris Mc</b><p>I don't want to open up a can-o-worms but an easy way to display provided they are graded is with the set registry.Photo bucket is also awesome. Happy New Year all!

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I don't think a lot of people are willing to discuss the exact locations of their collections for security reasons. <br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I posted a thread about displaying T3's and some great pics showed up - both for how to encase cards (holders, frames, matted, etc) and another that showed encased cards on display in the owner's house. My creative ability is zero. Really. So I really liked seeing how people displayed their T3's, and especially the house shot. <br /><br />I understand security concerns - some of these collections are worth so much money. But if there's any way people can post small photos of how they 'show' their cards, I think it'd be interesting.<br /><br />Mine's not worth a photo. Mine are in either toploaders (most) or slabs (a few). They are on the mantel of my basement fireplace. Just sitting on the mantel, leaned back up against the bricks, all in a row. haha. It's sad, really, now that I see how much a few of the others put into their displays.<br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>Jeff</b><p>Max, you always know where to find me when you're in Seattle.<br /><br />My card storage/display system isn't all that exciting... this trunk holds most of it. That's a 1910 Obak set (complete) on the left, and my collection of T206s (mostly low grade) to the right.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.seattlehockey.net/images/Cards.jpg"><br /><br />And just so Max doesn't think he's the only one cool enough to have a bunch of books:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.seattlehockey.net/images/books.jpg"><br /><br />Jeff

Posted By: <b>Scott Gross</b><p>I keep my baseball cards in my RED binder, and my boxing cards in my BLUE binder. My T9's are propped up along my dining room table (some actually in 6x9 top holders) <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <br /><br />I also use photobucket, with satisfaction:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/</a><br /><br />.... As far as books go, I have probably one of the top 10 Bull Terrier book collections in the country (too bad only 9 other people really care).....
