Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Helpful Hints on Planning and Setting Up Your, Sports Memorabilia Man Cave

During a Move As a collector, one of the most daunting undertakings you can face is relocating your precious accumulation of cardboard and memorabilia treasures to a new address. While some of what is detailed below might seem rudimentary, it’s often the simple and obvious details that make the difference between a successful move and a painful headache.

Preparing Your Move
1. Put Your Collection Away

It is important to remove all displayed cards, signed balls and other easily carried pieces before listing your home. Often, during house showings, potential buyers will not always be in the presence of the realtor. Eliminating any temptation to steal is essential. Depending on the amount of storage space available on your property, you may need to house these items, at least temporarily, offsite in a storage unit.

2. De-clutter Your Collection

Chances are you have boxes of commons worth almost nothing. You could sell them as a bulk lot at a garage sale. Donating them to a charity, hospital or Goodwill can get you a receipt for your taxes. The downsizing is quite liberating as lugging 5,000-count boxes of junk wax from place to place gets old in a hurry.

3. Put all Certificates of Authenticity in an Envelope

Having all your COAs together will help keep things organized and lessen the chance of one getting lost or destroyed.


4. Take Pictures

Take pictures of every wall and display with the camera on your phone. This will allow for easy set-up when it comes time to reassemble your man cave.

Selecting a Storage Facility
Things to consider when picking a place to hold your things while you move:

1.Close proximity to home.
2.Indoor and climate controlled.
3.24-hour access.
4.Look for move-in specials, like getting a free first month.
