Re: How To Store And Display Awards.
Hey guys,
I've spent today reframing some of the collection. 20121103_184302.jpg 20121103_183838.jpg 20121103_184101.jpg Hope you like it. (The space inbetween the RBol is for another variation that's on its way to me now!) Cheers, Tom |

Re: How To Store And Display Awards.
It will continue to grow. Leaving space for expected arrivals is always a good idea.
You may get to the point that you need to find bigger walls. I gave up framing the DPRK items after they grew to take up over 6 square yards. It gets rather tiresome shuffling and juggling them all week after week. No documents???

Re: How To Store And Display Awards.
Documents are a whole other problem. I have plenty, but how to display them in their open state without damaging the spine?
Any ideas? |

Re: How To Store And Display Awards.
I believe these exact three Medals are currently being offered for sale on everyone's favourite auction site for a mere $300!!

Re: How To Store And Display Awards.
I believe that very Order (F&I 2nd) is now with me.
I have watched a great many DPRK awards be bought from China (at auctions starting at 99 cents) and then they are put back on the market in the UK with them usually selling for less than was the purchase price originally (and me purchasing them). I once watched a particular Order sell in China then in the Uk then again in the UK and once more in the UK when I bought it for considerably less than it was originally purchased "from source". They are NOT investment pieces as my pricing thread aims to show. I think those three Medals currently offered wouldn't tempt me even if a 0 was removed from the price and included free postage. I have picked up all three (of a similar period or exact same variation) for under a dollar before. The great influx of DPRK items into the collection over the last 2 years has caused considerable storage and display issues which I have also documented to an extent on the forum. The poor quality plastic cases are not really a valid solution and I store those in storage containers - empty. Nearly all the Medals/Badges and some of the Orders fit in the plastic envelopes I use but. The amount of screwbacks has also increased so much they have totally overflowed the frame I had for them which fits 29. The usual pinback Orders I have found extremely difficult to store and with over 700 of them I had to have considerable thought about them. My (temporary) solution is to lay them out in a drawer layer upon layer with tea-towels between each layer. It makes for one very stuffed and heavy drawer.
