Displaying Game Ephemera

We've been working on sorting through some of the game ephemera that we've collected over the years and finding a good way to display it. Some of this stuff is just too good not to have out there for people to see.

A lot of our games come with little graphic novels that add to the plot.

We've already gotten a lot of comments on the glove from the Michael Jackson Experience (Wii), including a kid wondering if it was Michael Jackson's actual glove.

Card sets with some great art.


And our new black bookcases, for housing strategy guides and displaying our ephemera.

This is out of nowhere, but I love the outlook of the library. If I may ask, where did you guys get the shelves? Are they provided by the library, or did you guys get them yourselves? That said, do any of you know where I can get one or two... or four?

Those black shelves I believe were hand-me-downs from elsewhere in the library system.

I actually meant the big ones. :x like the ones in this pic http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MdEarewuOTk/T-zMepb_csI/AAAAAAAAAL8/8PC7ulDUeRc/s1600/IMAG0029.jpg ...

I do love the black ones. They house the guides so nicely!!

Those shelves along the wall are just the standard library shelving that is in use throughout the library. It has been here since the building opened.

Yeah, I figured. I'd really get my hand on those, but it seems highly unlikely at any rate. Thanks tho.

Oh! Final question! Where do you guys get your games? Ebay? Locally?

Primarily eBay, Amazon, a local game store, and donations.
