I have no kind of collection at all and my wife already wants to kill me and cremate me using my collection as fuel so what kind of space do the real collections need.Rather than muddy the water with all of the extras, odds and ends, JG, non TSR etc etc - just tell me how many feet of shelf space I would need for all of the standard stuff released by TSR and available to the public at large - including periodicles.There you go - a chance for all you real collectors to get the tape measures out!

I am now at 75% and we're planning on moving soon .A lot of the other collectors have much larger collections. Some even rent extra storage space for keeping their collection. That must be something, moving with 50 huge boxes of game books.
