My Extremely Humble Collection

[Yo Flawch!]

Tough to better your previous display effort, but you did!
Still clean and simple.
Love that Thick A shelf.

I am in the midst of a major display upgrade/reorganization. I started by removing everything in my Mega Tower, vacuuming inside and out (on top too, surprisingly not that dusty). I polished all of the plexiglas with the NOVUS system. If you're not familiar with NOVUS, and you have plexiglas you're trying to beautify/maintain, you need to get with the program...

NOVUS on Amazon

Over the next couple weeks, I will post update pics as I reassemble and reorganize my display. I have all new stands, which enable me to add 16 additional pairs. I may also add some extra pairs, simply resting on Oakley microfiber pouches. Here I am at ground zero. The case looks really nice for being so old; the plexiglas is in pretty nice shape. When I move (hopefully this year), I plan on polishing the aluminum for a new look.

I'm working from the "ground floor, up." On the first shelf, I now have expanded my Spice and Triggerman collections. Here are pics in the case. Thanks to @qtrain23 for the really nice stands! Q's stands are solid, stable, and all of the glasses sit STRAIGHT! If you look at pics of glasses on Oakley 2, 3, and 4-tier stands, you will occasionally see crooked glasses. I believe that is a product of their design. Q designed his stands with a "double spine" structure, which keeps all of the glasses sitting straight. I chose his light silver printing material, because I was hoping for the stands to blend in with my Mega Tower, and let the glasses do the talkin'!

The Mega Tower is a great place to display glasses, but it's not a great place to photograph them. Here are some better shots using my technique that I use for my eBay listings.

Nice. Would have gotten an awesome rating had I seen but one Mars in there somewhere. Lol.


Just kidding. I'm just jealous because I don't have any Oakley display cases.

I haven’t made it to the X-Metal shelf yet, so you never know what’s going to show up. Spoiler: I have new X-Metals, but no Mars

Nice impressive splice collection there as well.

Great photos!
I do dig those stands!

I love that you take such great care of your collection. Can't wait to see the future products to come down the pike

Thanks Chris! I think I'm too particular when handling my glasses, but at least I wear them

I agree, I collect sneakers too, but I always wear them. Some people say that Ruins them. But why else spend money on them if I'm not actually going to use.

I collect sneakers as well. I wear all of my shoes. When I was in my 30's, I collected Jordans aggressively. Every time a Jordan released that I wanted, I bought 2 pairs, one for wearing and one for collecting. After years of this, and my family laughing at me, calling me a shoe hoarder (which was true, just not a very positive way of explaining it), I sold 100 unworn pairs to an independent store in South Philly. They showed up in a van, and we examined every pair together. They handed me enough cash to pay off my Corvette, and then I never heard another derogatory remark about my shoe collecting. Now, I only collect pairs I want to wear.
