Re: display space?
We had a small 3 bedroom bylevel and I had the lower level livingroom and it drove my wife nuts not to have that room. She never felt comfortable in there. Anyway, we built a house and I got one very large bedroom which can be viewed on the front page of my website.

Re: display space?
I get my office - and that's it. anything else is in the closet, storage or on loan to friends/family members. I am kind of glad I have limited space. I can't imagine trying to grab 500 bats during a fire - or watching them twirl like helicopters when a tornado hits.
MUCH easier to insure than some collections.
I really only use 2 walls. There are about 25 bats, some hats/helmets, etc and a few shadowboxes. Enough to remain comfortable - and easy enough to keep clean. My office is my sanctuary...

Re: display space?
I am getting married in july and live by myself for now but the understanding between us is that i will be having 1 room for my collection to be on display and thats it. I dont really have too much stuff right now but i plan to collect memorabilia for as long as i live so 1 room may not be enough in 10 years.Leave a comment:

Re: display space?
Ha ha. My wife is constantly bugging me about my collection. I have a bat rack in our bedroom. I have jerseys in both of my boy's bedrooms. I have jerseys in our walk-in attic. I guess it is all over the house! I used to have a den until son #2 came into the picture. We collectors learn to adjust when necessary. All in all though, my wife is cool about my hobby. I hope you guys are as lucky as I am.

Re: display space?
I've got one room. Technically, it's our 'office', but I did the decorating.
The Office
I've mentioned that our son's room might look nice with a hoops theme. Don't think that's happening.Leave a comment:

display space?
how much space are you allowed in your home for you GU collection?
do you have limits set by your wife? how understanding is you wife with your collection.
my wife and i are in discussion for the amount of space i can have for my collection and was wondering what is reasonable expectations. thought i would ask what the wives tolerate so far.
