Organization of My Dreams...

Okay so post the Gallery Open House, there was almost a 50/50 split about my organization. So, I thought I would offer an explanation, as the banner says I’ve been around for a while, so, when I first started collecting, I committed myself to only collecting Sailor Jupiter, then I started to branch out. I dabbled at first in, DBZ and Gundam Wing, and had a brief flirtation with Tenchi Muyo! which never stuck, everything I had was sold. And then I started collecting CCS and the current count on that is like 140ish pieces, which is way more than my Sailor Moon collection.

That however has more to do with the availability of pieces than anything else, I am by no means the last Sailor Moon collector left, however I am the last Sailor Jupiter collector left that is still very active, and primo pieces of her to add to my collection have been sparse over the last couple of years, one of the reasons I have branched out in some ways on my Sailor Moon Collection, picking up in the last year or two characters other than Sailor Jupiter, but still Sailor Moon is definitely not as readily available as CCS, which and my collection which is ToyaxYukito heavy, however does not exclude all the other characters.

So when it came to re-organizing my collection, BTW I have always hated the Rubberslug Alphabetical order. When you break out SM into seasons, it puts Stars before SuperS and that drove me absolutely batty! So when I figured out how to re-order I put Sailor Moon at the top, as my first love, then the largest portion of my collection directly underneath, CCS, then the rest should be alphabetical order by overall show title and then if warranted broken down into seasons by order of air date.

So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I hope this makes more sense now, LOL!

I see I was one puzzled by the organization, but really anything works if it highlights what you value most in your collection. Congrats, btw, on your nice additions to your CCS Eps. 65 & 67 galleries, which are turning into treasuries for those who know the importance of them to the story arc.

Thanks Sensei! You were not the only puzzled by the organization it really came down to half of the reviewers. So I figured I would write post about it, not everyone can read my mind lol!

Oh I also have this thing about having more than one or two pages in a gallery wing, and if I toss 65, 66, and 67 back into Season three thee would 3 or 4 pages even at 24 cels per page and that would drive me batty!

I totally get your organizational logic, Jadeduo. :) In fact, I''ve recently re-organized my gallery to the same effect, putting Kino''s Journey at the top because it''s my favorite, not because it contains the most pieces (even though it does). I can totally sympathize with the lack of availability factor. I have more Neo Ranga cels than Lain cels, but this is only because they are cheap and easy to find, whereas Lain cels maybe pop up once or twice a year. *sobs* Everyone is different, but I believe in giving favorites the top spot in the gallery listing, regardless of quantity. And congrats on your new additions btw! :)
