I hope I posted this in the right section.
B: How do you wish you could store your items?
Sadly my Heep collection is hidden away under the stairs, the main reason being that my family don't share my love of Heep and secondly it wouldn't look right in a family home with limited space. I do have the silver disc on display and Mick signed photo but apart from that it sits under the stairs.
I would love to have a large display cabinet to perhaps display a few items fro the memorabilia side at the top. I could also store my CDs both official and bootleg in chronological order. If I did have a room to myself I would probably collect more on the poster and photo side of collecting, as it stands I can't see the point of having those when no one can see them. The only poster I've got was from the 2005 tour of which I went to one of the shows, hence buying that particular poster.
BTW the giant corkboard sounds a pretty good idea to me.
At the present, I have most of my items stored in several boxes, and the posters are kept in tubes. There are several things framed on the walls.
I must say you all did an excellent job pulling stuff out of boxes and taking pictures, that must have taken some time. I really don't have a plan yet how to display my stuff, it's in boxes and on shelves for now.
BTW my wife has a collection of small crystals and displays them in a corner cabinet with glass doors and the dust gets in no problem at all.
The good thing on the rack is, that you have easy access to the records, but the disadvantage is the dust.
I have 2 Heep posters on my wall in the living room.
My biggest problem is, that I'm running out of space, as I'm collecting not only Heep stuff.
