Since there was limited involvement for "how do you store your posters" probably because it has been beaten to death... Show us you poster collecting environment lair/room/corner! I call mine, my poster lair... It's quite chaotic.

I don't have yet a particular place (not until I add a couple of rooms to the house) so my collecting environment is wherever it fits and doesn't bother
I have a bunch of modern rolled posters in this trunk. Only a few inside are keepers. The other ones are a bulk I bought to a nice old lady, the owner of the theater I bought my first posters, around 18 years ago. She sold the theater a few years back and wanted to get rid of all the posters, so I bought them to give her a hand.

When I first started I used back in my high school/college days I used a trunk. My grandfather's military trunk. You can just make it out at the bottom of the picture - grey. It's where I keep my Italians and french large posters (when I put them back)... It's all Neoloco's (Brandon's) fault. I took them out to show him some stuff when he visited and never put them back...

I saw that... That box actually has all the medals from a Vietnam vet that was killed while flying a flare mission during the war. Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross, etc... I was suppose to sell them for my dad but every buyer wanted to break them up, so I just kept them.

The family my dad got them from tried to donate but was turned away. The reason they sold them. Wanted a collector to have them. Same thing happened when we tried to donate my grandfather's flag. There is just too much to go around...

Everybody has got an Eames chair except me... @marqueeposter has one too...
The Eames chair is arguable the most comfortable chair ive ever sat in...
Actually, if you look closely, it's a knock off. I'm not able to spend 3k-5K for an original...I paid a fraction for mine, but it's still a great chair with perfect back support...

This 2 boxes are the core of the collection, the stuff that will never be sold while I'm alive
And also stores some packing materials
It belonged to the brother of her great grandmother, who took it with him when he came from Italy, as a suitcase
I'll get some other angles later...which show the mess...
