(...) I have begun going the same way. I have been buying up Plano boxes and sorting my sorted ziplock bags into them. So far I have about a third of my collection moved to this solution (it is not cheap but I think it is worth it) and I find it a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)

After purchasing LOTS of Iris drawer units and sorting my collection, I can't imagine going back to the Rubbermaid tubs and ziploc bags I had before. It took almost a half an hour to haul out the tubs, open them all up and arrange them in such a way (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I'm do the as you. I break down all the boxes that I can and store them flat. I really don't know why I keep them, as I never intend to sell my collection either.

(...) I would tend to disagree. My perception from when I was heavily bidding on eBay was that a box has only a small effect on set value (discounting MISB sets here).

(...) Good evening Dan, At first I saved boxes. Then once my collection started to grow, in order to save room, I just saved the alternate models/ideas panel of the box (usually the back of the box.) Now after 300+ sets I don't even save the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)
