I custom built this shelf for my collection....What do you think????
I took the advice from one of you....My 5 tier shelf had so much of my collection it looked cluttered like a flea market....So I decided to hit the tools & garage to build this below......What do you think

That looks really cool! Do you cycle your display in and out? I like changing with the seasons, personally. Right now I have lots of Blackhawks and a few Cubs on display, but with the way the 'Hawks played last night they may not be on the shelf much longer!
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

No I don't cycle....if you look at my collection I don't have really a specific team.....I collect everyone as long as they have a Mcfarlane & a high end card to go with.....I don't even watch sports or anything....I'm just a collector of things that I think of to make it a unique way of collecting

Great shelf design, simple and efficient! Plenty of space to enjoy the figures, plenty of available light to see the cards! Great job!
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Much better than the previous set up. More in line with what your amazing collection deserves.
