Showing your collections/room off to others

Yea, but it sounds so much more macho the other way LOL

I must be an outlier here as I display my collection broadly and bring friends and guests in all the time (insured, camera, smart locks on the house)

It’s a personal thing but I love telling the backstories to King Kelly, how cards were used to sell cigarettes, why the high number 52 Topps are crazy expensive, etc.

I find the biggest kick people get is when I show them the “Gross” section of my PC (my last name, and an easy to use pun at the same time). That has my son and daughter’s little league photos and batting helmets, my nieces and nephews with their cards and the 6 major league players with last name “Gross” who have Topps cards - all on one “Gross shelf” (last photo below)

As many have said here, the whole thing is just fun for me especially to be able to share it.

You do you, as the kids say… and for me, this is to fun to keep locked away.
