Title: Good way to display instructions?
Post by dgordon86 on 21. Jan 2007 at 21:58

Well,

I bought game protectors from Tim Atwood, plan on buying a new white ikea billy bookcase (minimal-to show off whats being displayed) this coming week, and i've just listed a bunch of the cluttering aspect of my collection on ebay...

The games look pretty uniform inside their new plastics, but I was wondering how I can store my instructions/papers to look just as uniform? Right now they're in a plastic small bin from the container store...

anyone have any pics/tips?

I'll upload pics when i'm done :)

One thing you could do to store your manuals is get some photo pages the kind you put in a binder they hold 8 pictures 4 on each side of the page, I found they also work great for holding manuals thier almost a perfect fit. :)

yeah, thats prob the best way to display. For awhile I took them out of the boxes, but that didn't last for more than a week.

I actually found a really nifty folding method with a comic book bag, works out well.

Why would you want to just display instructions? I can understand wanting to display just carts or just boxes, but most people just put the instructions inside the boxes.

Some instructions may have different art than the box art. I can think of King's Knight; are there any others like that?

I have a ton of extra instructions that I picked up from someone. I kinda think it's nice to have my extra instructions ready in case someone (girlfriend, semi-gaming friends) wants to pick through them. Rather have the instructions opened v. flaps on my CIB games.

so yeah, thats prob. my main reason to have the instructions displayed and available.

I like the binder idea. I found this metal portfolio that has archival pages.. looks nice.

Woodgrain has a unique dimension.
