Here in Lebanon PA
They have a Comic store that has enough space to display my collection
I was going to approach them about Displaying my collection at a special event
(Perhaps in Jan when comic relaunches)

Has anybody done anything else along the sort is there much interest in seeing somebody else's collection.

I always like going to the Transformers Action Figure TAF store in Dayton
(When I lived there...if you are within driving distance go...)

I know that my collection doesn't have many super rare figures...
But I do have a fair amount of them from across all the lines...

So here are my simple questions
Would this be popular?
What sort of protection would you recommend (Obviously glass cases preferred)
What figures would you go see?
What about a Transformers Museum would you go?

I was thinking an addition to the Toyandtrain museum in Wheeling WV

I am sure 100k would be a good donation to start it is central east...and cheap area...so keeping cost low...

Now if I can just corner the market on Gold Lucky Draws (well currently I have 0 of 55 or so)

Hell yeah, I'd go, and I'm in Lancaster, PA...so I'd actually have someplace within driving distance to go to and check out toys that I don't have!

I have a customer who did a diorama for me in one of my glass cases. It does get a lot of attention, then again, It is lots of custom work and Star Wars.

I had my own collection on display in my store for a very long time. It worked well except for the question 'how much for THAT one!' and I would always have to reply, sorry sir, that one is not for sale. Then they leave all pissed off wondering why I am displaying product that I am not selling.

It can be nice to see but does also anger potential customers.

Spencer - who has some great spots in his new store and is considering putting up for toys as a display.

There are stores in Japan that allow you to rent space for displaying and/or selling your stuff.
