Happy Sunday! As I’m taking a break from work, I have been debating on sharing my collection publicly for the better part of the past five years - main reason for the delay is that life got too busy, but part of the reason was also the uncertainty of how to best present the collection in a thread.
My question to any interested viewers - what is the preferred format for sharing the collection? For context, I have been downsizing my collection for the past few years, streamlining into what I’ve been calling my “core collection,” a series of cards that make up the key components of the collection. I still have a lot of satellite collections that help provide a more thorough story of my collecting journey.
Please vote:
Post core collection in a single post only.
Stagger core collection across multiple posts/updates.
Share origin story and collecting journey across multiple posts until its current state including the core collection (will take time and would be a compilation of short story format).
“No offense, but just keep your collection to yourself.”

If there are enough interested people, this would be a fun project to work on later this year. If there’s not that many interested people, it would save me a lot of time that I can dedicate to other projects.
I would love to read about collection stories and the journey. I think these are the best parts about being a collector, to be able to share the journey, wins, losses, learnings etc with everyone.
You would know best how to stagger / pace it, but I would prefer to read more about your collection and it also gives you time to space out your posts and stories.
It would be amazing to see your collection. Ok you have one heck of a collection. The back story on how you acquired the card, why that specific copy, journey on acquiring the card. The dedication plus time and effort that has gone into you building your collection is a story in itself. Look forward to reading and seeing all about the wonderful cards you’ve acquired.
Thanks, everyone for the votes and for your thoughts!
Agreed, I always felt it difficult to navigate the threads. I like your idea of updating the first post while making subsequent posts in the thread! Thanks!
As far as convenience goes, I am a huge fan on how @Frosty.Puppy has arranged their collection. The main post just has links and then you can click what you feel like wanting to see and go on from there. It is super convenient and also really help if you want to look back and dont have to scroll through all of the posts. Just click on the main link and go form there.
