...I ask this because I came across some photos of my collection, which I took
for insurance purposes. I'm thinking that like most collectors, things come
and go until a collection dwindles to near nothing as tastes change.
I also know most collectors rarely disclose what they own for security reasons,
but I don't mind showing off just one of many "glory corners" in my home as it
looked, circa 2002. Much of what you see below was sold long ago, but looking
back, I would have to say that 2002 was the year when I had the most posters
displayed on every wall space available, so much so that visitors got
headaches, unable to fix their eyes on anything, sort of like a restaurant wall
crammed with too many signed photos. If the photo below was a 360-degree shot,
you would've seen scores of other vintage posters in their own "glory corners."
And this was just in one room. I had black-out curtains in every room to
prevent fading. The major fires that hit our area in 2003 were the turning
point to liquidate almost everything...
I'm not asking people to disclose what they own. (But go ahead if you're
game.) I'm asking if they can identify a "peak year" when they had "most
everything" they could ever had want with their collection. -d.
