I keep thinking I should document my collection, but there's no easy way
to get a good overall shot (well, ok, I do have a good overall shot of
it after it was unloaded from the moving van, but it's kind of hard to
appreciate a collection when it's all in cardboard boxes stacked 6'
high...
I have significantly improved my building though by purchasing some
small (1pt and 1qt) containers to store a modest amount of small always
handy parts (1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, and 1x6 plates, 1x2, 1x4, 1x6, and 1x8
tiles, a few other bits - I've got some more containers which I also
have to fill up with a few other parts - like I realized I don't have
1x8 plates handy at all - I couldn't even find my overflow bag).

It would be really neat to get a list of all the largest collections. I
wonder where my 500k+ collection fits in the list.
It would also be good to have collections rated by two numbers total
parts and parts retained for personal use. Probably many of the top ten
collections by total parts have a huge number of those parts destined
for sale, but I may be horribly wrong.
