Figured since we are all stuck at home during this time that we could take some pictures of our collectables and post them in this thread. So what have you got lurking around your place? I'll start with a couple of recent acquisitions - a pair of Al Holbert Team crew uniforms from the 962. One is a full uniform with the Miller Lite team and the other is a shirt from the Lowenbrau team. I also got this large (4 ft x 2.5 ft) cardboard 962 advertising piece with the shirt. All from the same owner. Turns out he raced a pink 935 at Rennsport & Monterey Historics and I took a picture of his car with my diecast of his car back in the day. Small world.

Another great idea, here is my minor contribution though I am not sure a wide shot will upload well.f7ac311ad801dd1243f16fef20f067a9.plist

Excellent! Mine are all in boxes stacked unceremoniously in the basement. One day I aspire to have them on display like yours.

Just picked up 40 feet of cabinets basically 10 of the ones in the picture - $50 a cabinet. Score! Will be put to use to display diecast models and all kinds of trinkets I have acquired over years. Bill Mcfetridge just think of all the stuff you can carry for me now. LOL

 

PS: All the hemp related stuff did not come with the cabinets. I can only handle one addiction at a time

Bill: only 40ft of “display” cabinets. I still have 40ft of storage cabinets. We can rotate the display as needed. What time should I schedule you in for? ;)

A 996 Turbo. Nice. Is it a GT2? The black car. I was just thinking today I should look for one. Thanks for sharing.

Shouldn't that Porsche Parking Only sign be mounted in the garage? ;)

Most recent acquisition - an RS Spyder print. Bought the artist proof signed by all the drivers and the seller threw in some autographed photos too. Bonus!

And of course got the RS Spyder car number 7 as well. I already had car number 6. Have to find a car number 5 to complete the group.

That’s pretty much how the majority of mine were stored for years. Developed a “Man Zone” in the basement and got the bulk of them displayed properly.

Wow. That's awesome! I like how you organized them by year. Where did you get the cabinets?

 

Simple IKEA Billy cabinets with glass shelves and doors.

Back when Rennsport was going on they sold the 6ft tall banners and I managed to get one. Going to hang it in the shop one day
