Now That’s a Collection

Posted January 2, 2006 By Dave Thomer

I’m trying to straighten up my basement, and I thought I was having problems. Then I read this feature on Rebelscum about the effort to organize Stephen Sansweet’s collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Outside of the Lucasfilm archives, I don’t think anyone has more Star Wars stuff than Sansweet – and he could probably give the archives a run for the money.

I will bet you dollars to donuts that if Earl reads this feature, he’ll explode with envy somewhere around the paragraph with the arcade consoles and pinball machines.

I’m kind of feeling Sansweet’s pain on a much less grandiose level. I am starting to feel like I have more stuff than I have room to display or use. At that point, what’s the point of having more? And since building additional floors or buying my own warehouse facility are not viable options, at some point I’m going to have to start making some choices.

For now, though, I’ll settle for organizing my paperwork.
