How Do You Display Or Put Your Steelbooks In Order?

[BigBlizz]

Do you do by title (alphabetical) country, Disney/pixar, favorites, etc. I know there's a thread to show off your collections, but I think this is a different topic.

 

[snooloui]

I never sort using generic words like 'a', 'the' etc. as you would end up with those sections being much larger than normal.

What genres do ppl use?

 

[blumaster]

I sort by genre, non-alphabetical. Genres I use are Sci-Fi (the focus of my collection), Horror, Comedy, Action/Adventure, & Drama.

I also just received my first pack of acrylic display stands. Can't believe how awesome they make the collection look. And cheap too, just $15 for a pack of 10.

I've got acrylic stands as well, it looks awesome all lined up neatly together, really does make a difference when you put some effort in displaying the steelz correctly.

right now i dont have a big collection but i display them by choosing the ones i think have the best artwork showing, and the rest just the spine. but i am contemplating whether to get a display cabinet

Here's my work in progress. (3MB file)

An Ikea 'Detolf' glass display cabinet.
a 12" rotating turntable. It currently runs on a D battery but it can use an adapter.

This way you can place 8 steelbooks on the turntable if you don't want to show the backs.

With 4 shelves, and 4 turntables, you could present 32 steelbooks in all their glory to your jealous friends.

I admit I would like to find a way to slow the turntable a little, but I'm not unhappy with the results so far.

I don't put them for display. I just pile them on top of each other and in no particular order.

[Il Furiano]

Alphabetically

 

[tonybsg]

By genre more or less, but not alphabetically.

 

[rodrudd]

Alphabetically in a shelf.

 

[iheartsteel]

Mine are stored in random groups! Some by actor, some by studio and some just because the spines look nice together on the self

 

[bd251]

Decided to separate the backwards spines. It looks better now

 

[Tchinkwe]

by director and realease date, like it :

Scott : Alien => Blade Runner => Gladiator...
Cameron : Terminator => Terminator2 => Avatar...
etc...

 

[Numanoid]

In genre, then alphabetical in that lol how to make it complicated. Though i am thinking of getting a few of those stands that you lean them up against for the ones with really good artwork!!!!

 

[STARSCREAM]

All in alphabetical order.
