<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1414423, member: 19065&quot;]It&#039;s clutter like that that turns me off about modern collectible coins marketed and packaged in cumbersome and space consuming presentation packages. All the conservation materials one needs on hand for using with their collections alone takes up gobs of space. Some years ago, having realized how dense all this stuff gets, inspired me to sell off the majority of my modern collection and start over, take new directions and basically breathe again in the openness the purge allowed me to do that in. Since then, I have attempted to be much more frugal in what goes into my collection and how must space in my life the physical part of collecting takes up. I would rather sell it all for a few really nice coins than have hoarded masses of things I put too much sentimental or held too much intrinsic value spread out in thousands of objects I have to tend to. Like you said, when you go to move the stuff, it&#039;s a real pain in the back side to deal with. I&#039;ve done that a few times and never enjoy &#039;moving&#039; the collection. Good luck to you with the task ahead! Perhaps when you settle in your new digs you will focus a good effort on organization and keep to the task from then on. Moving is a good time to take stock of what you have and make records accordingly because if you loose all or part of that in damage to your home/office or its stolen from you, it would be really hard to prove what went missing, let alone pinpoint how much you lost, forbid that ever happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
