HELP!
I am moving from the DC/Baltimore area to the San Diego area in a month or less.
I have 75% of my collection sorted. Some is in easy to move plastic shoebox

tacklebox type organizers. I would rather not have to re-sort it all. Any
suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

| One suggestion with the zip-locked baggies is to package parts up into smaller zip-lock bags, then put those smaller bags into one of the gallon-sized freezer zip-lock bags. E.g. I take these seperate bags: 1x1 plates, 1x1 round plates, 1x1 plates (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.storage)
