It was listening to the recent episodes of the Toy Run podcast (highly recommend), and they were doing a Q and A about themselves, their collecting, etc. Anyways, their answers about their collection made me think of this thread again. I'm surprised at how many collectors basically don't display much (or any) of their collections. I know I have quite a bit stored away as well, which is probably the story for the majority if us, but it always bothers me to just have stuff sitting in totes forever (part of the reason I've started to sell some of those things).
I think it can be a tough balance, particularly when you have a smaller display area, to have stuff out but at the same time not have things too full and packed to the gills. I know I've been working towards the "less is more" approach, which is an ongoing battle. Anyways, where does your collection reside these days? How much, if any, do you display?
