Well a few years back shopped a show with folks collections. Had a thread at the time. Can't find it now. Bought www.real-collections.com or collectors domain don't recall. Think have let them expire. Was no interest at the time. If I recall nobody was comfortable sharing. Wish i could find the thread but not high on my need to get done list. Would be a great show.

It's a good idea, but the same situation may be true today. Only a select few may want to show their treasures to the world. Plus, I know from experience, when you write an article or publicize anything good that you may have, you get bombarded by all types of people wanting to buy yours, sell you theirs, or threaten you. Been there, done that.

Agreed,
people would have to have the option to remain anonymous.. not give out locations or make them up, heck its TV.. they make it all up anyway..
some I'm sure would share, but if you make it mandatory they have to divulge location and even name, many will balk.

Why would anyone collect anything if they didn't want to show it off?

I think that we'd all like to show off our treasures, but we went through that when I was " out" there. You get bugged to death, uninvited visitors, and I actually got threatening emails. ( with me being such a likeable guy.........)
The aspect of security is a real issue now more than ever. Yes, with publicity you can gain business opportunities and possibly a new item or two will come your way, but it's not without a price. I am 32 years older than when I started collecting machines, coolers, etc. it certainly is a different world now.
OK, off of my soap box, sorry!

Sounds about right. Sucks that technology and or society has gotten so bad that we (or some) are concerned of repercussions in showing off our collections on a large scale. I for one would love to see a coin op version of "Cribs". |

Sadly it is not the same World it once was. My "old things" habit takes me back to better times. Not hard to give any indication of actual location. A show of such would be far better than the silly crap now. Lost all interest in the new show when 10 minutes spent fawning over CW or whatever it was scratched in a timing cover. Proves nothing. Off my soapbox.
Will give this a revisit.

Sounds like a cool idea. Gameroom Magazine used to highlight people's collections. I think something like this could be popular.
