Reddit mentions: The best retail displays & racks

I got one of these. It was inexpensive and looks beautiful on my desk. Very sturdy and relatively easy to keep dry and control the environment...with a little caulk of course :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084ISZ52/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also, if something unfortunate happens, and this hobby isn't without risks, I have a primary containment unit. I keep Rb sealed in a plastic bottle wrapped up and stuffed with soft absorbent material. It helps keep out the moisture.

Feel free to PM me with any questions you have. I've been researching this very very extensively and I have been trained in chemistry academically and applied for 2 years now so I was pretty comfortable in my knowledge of these materials before I even thought about obtaining something like K or even Rb. Even with all that knowledge, I keep MSDS available for everything I own and before I'm even receiving anything I read up on just that element. Knowledge is power my friend. I don't keep any samples that are large enough to pose significant risk to my well being...and with reading, when someone offers you a sample of torbernite so you can have U, even though your first instinct is to say FUCK YEAH I want that, your knowledge will then kick in and tell you that probably isn't too hot an idea.

Good luck! Let me know if there's anything you would like to know or any questions about specific materials you may have and I'll be glad to help!

i hope the kizu LN sell well so that Vertical can see that there's a lot of interest to warrant a full series localization.

By sealed away, some BDs come with artbooks and i put them in those bags, just the artbooks, if they are bigger i use a bigger bag like so. These are what i use to seal the artbooks shown. The one i linked previously was just for manga/LNs.

In regards to figures... I know figures are made to match preorder amount. Its the retailers/sellers that put in the order, some a little more than what really is preordered to sell after release. Another thing is that people cancel their preorders at the last minute, causing the seller to have extras. You can still get releasd figures, sometimes for cheaper than original asking price. This is why buying figures can be hard sometimes, if the figure is popular/well made the demand will be high and so will the price. At that point, you better be prepared to shell out the big bucks or pray that the manufacturer does a rerelease. The after marker isn't so bad, some people take really good care of their figures, like not taking it out of the box, etc.,and you can buy those second hand figures.

It is a slippery slope. Don't get me wrong, i like all the figures i bought but it could've been cut in half if i really limit myself to characters/shows i REALLY like. But there's no regrets now.

Re-sealable just means that it has a strip of adhesive that you can use to close the flap. You can just buy a bag with no adhesive and use a tape to secure it like what i do to my hentai manga. 2 mil thickness is a good amount, you don't want your collection to get too bulky or else you can't more in a shelf. All you really want these bags to do is protect the books from dust and air.

If they have value (either monetary or personal) please put them in Mylite sleeves so the UV doesn't fade them over time.

What I do is put them in mylite2 sleeves, with a double sided acid free backing board, and then I put them up on these little umbra shelves:

I set the comic on a small square of that grippy drawer liner material (in white, so it matches the shelf) so it can't shift or slip off if the wall is vibrated (by slamming doors, etc...).

Works great and looks fantastic.

I wish we had enough room for a rack like that. Instead we use a little hanger holder next to the dryer and it’s great.

hanger holder

Good luck.

They usually dont make them small enough to display a Switch game case.

Or they arent made in white.

And almost all of these displays are made for other commercial purposes, so they are not cheap.

I don't know if anyone mentioned either of these things as there were a lot of comments but!

You could get a lockable display case?

And also take photos of your collection with some sort of timestamp maybe? Or just document everything you have in case you need to go to the police. You could also consider insuring it? Things like paintings can be insured so I don't see why collectibles from the titanic wouldn't be?

Thank you!!

I like the setup, I really do. However, I just can't quite understand why you chose to use the longer legs for the second monitor riser.

I'd suggest installing a shorter set of legs for your second riser. I mean if you're going to have the gap in between, then you might as well put the right speaker there on top of the risers and place the camera lenses(?) in storage. You could also try installing a couple of these on the left and right side of your primary monitor and and placing your speakers there but you'd have to measure it out to see if they'll work there. If you're worried about visible cables with this method you can always run them to the back side of the monitor.

Another thing you can try is replacing your speakers entirely with a more slim profile unit such as a soundbar and placing it under your risers.

Hell here is one more: If you don't want to lose the space that the higher riser gives and if you don't mind a bit of clearance between your desk and the wall try installing dual monitor arms. You're going to want to retain the same height of your primary monitor because I assume that's what you are comfortable with and then have your second monitor inline and bevel to bevel. That should leave you with just enough clearance for your second monitor in the vertical plane and some more clearance to the right for your speaker and maybe even your plant.

Anyway, as they say, "you're never really finished". Good luck.

Like this?

these look great but they are a little costly. im probably going to buy 3 sets of these

Got them from Amazon. Here is link

i prefer the 20 pocket tobacco card pages https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003A7VIH4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HL66CbBX0HRYX

They are all stowed away in 12-gallon storage bins (like these, but I only paid $6 each at Costco), which are stacked on a storage shelf (like this) in my basement. Each bin is labeled (A, B, C, etc.) and I've got a spreadsheet that catalogs which bin each disc is in should I need to retrieve it for some reason.

Edit: Here's a pic.

I have a hook that I hang my keys on and three small shelves (http://amzn.to/1VPtpdS) that I place my wallet, cosmetics, and then pen and paper on.

The hook and shelves are actually on the wall down my basement stairs, which is very close to my garage entrance.

Grabbed them from here, come in sets of 3 and very convenient

SHOTS
