I spent a few hours the other day sorting out my collection. Here is the result. I may well be shoved up into the attic but the room permeates positive vibes!!

Awesome - I love seeing photos from collectors, especially as half the fun is in what you have, how you store it and whether any of it is on show, etc. Also I like seeing whether people catalogue things in terms of A-Z, chronological or just plain old favouritism. What's your preference matey? Either way, it must be like being a kid in a sweetie shop there.... I could spend hours in your loft fella! hah.

Out of interest, do you (and other collectors) 'play' with your Top Trumps and do you have the classic 1 for neat, 1 for playing and possibly 1 for archive/resale approach?! I don't do that for Trumps nowadays (I just read and play with them!) but I used to do that for other things I collect, when cash permitted of course.

To widen this out, I may post some shots of our 'geek room' at home which is larger than our bedroom and is full of autographs, artwork, retro gaming, sketch cards, memorabilia and yep - a few trumps here and there. Naturally it's 'my' room and the missus is not as enamoured as I am with everything, despite also being a geeky collector too. I'll have a tidy up and upload some pics if anyone is interested.... it'd be cool to see examples from others too maybe.

Now, where did I put that duster....

Please do upload some piccies mate sounds like a meaty collection of different stuff there!

When it comes to order in my collection it has to be arranged in sets by year/series and then alphabetiacally, the same as the site as it makes life so much easier to find. My CD and DVD collection is arranged alphabetiacally as well!

Storage!?! Aargh!! I live in a one bed maisonette and I own around 3000 packs of trumps including one of those WM display stand that flooded out of the Woolies branches, a WM show stand that used to go onto counters as well as a few sheets. My flat, as can be vouched by some members here, is Trumps dominated!! Every room, every corner and every spare cupboard has Trumps in them. I would photograph them all but it woud be a logistical nightmare.

I personally have to have 2 of everything one to open, scan and list and the other to sit and gather dust in their original seals. Once I get my packs and once they are listed on the site they are never played with and very rarely opened again, so they remain as perfect as they possibly can be.

Does this make me a Geek, I wonder Roll Eyes Hmm! Undecided

Well, this boudoir has been improved and is now 3 sided. I'm trying to talk my Dad into building thin shelving for the fourth side then it'll be TT heaven.

I, like Rogue, like to buy two of each pack, one to open and one to gather dust. I do play but not too often as the kids are too keen on playing but I do enjoy looking through some of the older packs and reliving history.
