5 Places NOT to display your high-end collectibles

Never hurts to state the basics again, and learn a couple more tips. Protect the money you've spent!

This video has my top 5 places NOT to display your collection. Would love to hear where else you guys try to avoid. Thin glass shelves and HVAC vents are also bad, but didn't make my top 5 cut.

Check it out:

Aww man, but my high-end stuff just looks so much better displayed in direct sunlight, in the humid conditions where I live, protruding off my sub-woofer, out in the open for all to see.

Thanks for the video link dmpsk8!

Lest we forget the last ride of Johnny Blaze.

Fairly sure that's Danny Ketch's Ghost Rider look...at least it was when I was still reading comics.

Damn. That is straight gore. I can't even look, but I can't look away either....

Sorry, not that I know of. It’s from a very cautionary Facebook post a while back.

A little glue. A little paint. No problem.

Here's another place to add to the list: Japan.

I saw dozens of pics on twitter of fallen displays after last week's earthquake. They were too heartbreaking to share with you guys though.

I guess one nice thing about leaving here will be living in an earthquake free zone.

I hope they're insured.

If not, then I'll ask why not?

Yes.

Insurance is available for collectibles, but as with anything shop around and ask questions.

Don't assume it's all covered under your home owner's insurance because it's not. In addition, make sure to have all documentation (i.e., receipts, invoices, etc.) and should the worst occur don't get "greedy".

Dont expose them to sunlight, dont get them wet and whatever you do, never feed them after midnight!

Okay, so I guess with living in Miami I'm just screwed. Got it.
