[MagikFingerz] My Collection

Unread post by MagikFingerz »

So I finally have the space to store and display some of my collection. Bought this thing used, it has shallow drawers (3 decks stacked, or single decks on their long side):

Image

I have filled the drawers, but have yet to decide what to place/display on top of it, and how. It also doesn't hold all of my decks, so I need to figure out what to do with the rest.

I've also gone through everything and have decided to sell quite a lot of decks (dupes, ones I regret buying/don't like anymore, etc), so look out for a thread in the trading section once I get around to doing that.

Ideas for improvements to better display decks or fit even more without sacrificing how well they're displayed will be highly appreciated!

That is great looking! Nice collection! I have been looking for something like this for a while now as I am tired of having everything stored in a bunch of plastic bins.

Thanks! Yeah, mine were in plastic boxes for years ever since I moved out from my parents (pic of the collection pre-move can be seen on the front page of my wiki site).

Great collection and stellar storage system! Mine's an absolute mess of decks all over. Honestly, I'm jealous of what you've put together to house this marvelous collection of yours. Very nice thank you for showing it off.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.
We can still be friends.
I actually like playing cards.

Tidy, tidy, tidy. I wish my place would look that much in order. I'm still missing a brick of decks... the brick with my favorite decks... πŸ˜–. House movings aren't fun.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to see the placeholder replaced Tom πŸ˜‰. Show us more of that great stuff!
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Will do! Though what's shown is the biggest and best part of my collection :D

I decided to fill up some brick boxes to put on top of this thing, so that cleared up some space in the top drawer. Need to reorganize a bit... In the meantime, I got these plastic mats meant for bottom of kitchen drawers from IKEA:

That'll make it easier to remove and return single decks for handling or showing off :ugdance:

Alright, I got the showcase on top mostly sorted out, see edited first post. Moved some to the top from Drawer 1, and then moved some more up to 1 from Drawer 7 making room for more there, plus I put my Phoenix decks and magicians' decks into Drawer 8. Updated pics for drawers 1, 7 and 8.

Taking suggestions for which decks, if any, to place into the two Carat cases I have :D

That showcase you have is outstanding. I'm jealous again actually! The first UC deck in the carat cases would be pretty sharp imho. But if it were me, I'd fill the things with some delicious jelly beans and gummi candies so I could pop one in my mouth and enjoy mouth candy while my eyes enjoy all that eye candy.

This is very cool to see. I think you and I have been heavy into collecting starting at around the same time.

I've gotta get my stuff more easily displayed soon, too. :-)
