C'mon guys, there is no need to be shy about this. Mine is the one with the ultra-rare coloured cover.

That one would be a perfect companion to my recent woodgrain box find

Gorgeous! Thanks for posting those pics, I love the old lizard covers

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Thanks! I'm still working on my gameroom/collection/displays. Emptying boxes is like Christmas all over again.

Any advice for boardgame displays or shelving?

Depends on how valuable your shelf space is. I rotate mine once in a while. Here's the top shelf on one of mine.

One piece of advice I have been given is, for hard-to-replace box sets, to bag and board the books and contents so they don’t slump inside the box when it is stood up on display on your shelf. You could even display the books separately.

Also, I would rotate a few items on display rather than try and get it all on. The idea being that:
a few cool selected items nicely presented = quirky collector of vintage games, whereas
*everything* squashed onto groaning shelves = oddball hoarder in need of help.

..no dissing intended, I place myself squarely in the latter category! :lol:

Also, also, that is a very impressive Dungeons and Dragons collection !

Keep dust off shrink box sets with bags. There are larger ones as well.

Amazon.com: BCW Clear Book Bags 10" x 13" with 2" Flap, 100-Count per Pack (1-Pack): Sports & Outdoors

Bag, board and top load paper back stuff you want to keep mint.

St. Regis items:

Now there is a product idea that could probably find a place in the market today if one of the players would bring it to market.
Good quality card stock. Generic fantasy art not specific to any one game system. Cheap enough (at the time) for players to buy their own.
Why is there nothing like this in the marketplace at the moment?
Don't players use character sheets and hand-drawn maps and notes in campaigns anymore?
Or was I using these wrong back in the day?

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

It's taken a while but here is a full set of modules from Le Dernier Cercle, probably the highest quality product to have come out of France in the 80's.
With each module you get a loose colour cover with maps on the inside, and a 40-50 page black and white stapled booklet, two column printer, and similar in font and graphics as the stuff coming out of Beast Enterprises at the time (Tortured Souls!). They seem to be hard to come by. The bottom centre was the hardest one to track down. But when they do turn up they always seem to be in VGC to NM condition. Suspect the print run was very low, and not being able to speak the language, I've not been able to track/trace the publishers down (France has some strange privacy laws for people who want to hide).
