What do you guys do with your art sets?

[The Chief]

I've got a large stack of artsets both original and copied that I've accumulated over the past few years of arcade collecting. I'm thinking of getting a binder with some of those clear plastic sleaves to store them in. I think it would be a nicer way to view the art instead of having a different bag for each set and also keep them better protected. That is of course if most of the art will fit in a standard size binder, I know a few of the sets contain art bigger than standard size paper.

Someday I'd like to get some of the nice sets framed, when I've got the money and wall space that is. Is there anything else I could be doing here?

Mine are piled up on the shelf with my PCBs collecting dust.

I like the binder idea though, I might go for that.

I rotate the art in and out on my cabs regularly. When not in use, it just sits in a gigantic bag-o-artsets.

All of the art I have is in a pile of plastic baggies, inside a display cabinet on my desk. I should really organize it though

bagged up in a box when not in use. I have my marquee holder so I like using the artsets whenever possible.

..i put em in the potective acide free clear comic book bags and pin em up on the wall( pinned the bag not the art work)

All my original art sets and paperwork are just in a stack, and all PCBs I purchase that come with photocopies the first thing I do is throw the copies in the trash. Nobody wants to put a fake marquee in their cab.

I never take the art sets out of my kits.

I use the fake art on my cabs, and put the legit in with the kit boxes.

 

[LoneSage]

If they come with a kit box, I just have them stored in there.
If not, I keep all the loose ones on the top of my kit boxes stack.

My VF4:EVO art set is carefully stored away in zip bags.

Be careful with the plastic sleeves as they stick to the art sometimes and ruin it.

This is a good point. Maybe there's different kinds of plastics or materials used, I may have to do some research about this before making a trip to Staples.

What about he stuff they use for putting photos in an album? That's different than those clear three ring binder plastic sheets.

I like having the artwork around and in my cabs but I've got dozens of artsets and would ultimatly like a nicer way to view then than flipping through a big stack of baggies and sets.

Get a big photo album to put your artsets in so that they can be protected or get a big binder and get some good plastic sleeves.

I thought about doing the samething but I sold off all of my artsets though.

when it comes to MVS stuff I just leave it in it's box. I've really only had MVS artwork with the exception of the partial neowave art that I just got. I"m going to get a frame for the flyer and hang it up in my room. The movelist strips will just go in a box.

It adds to the re-sale value imo weather there copies or not.

I would stop buying all pcb junk..and stop selling old ass video games that nobody wants..and start selling my pcb's in the everything else section instead of buying all the shit up.
