My girl friend and I have been together off and on for more than 4 years. Last month I had told her that when her lease was up at her apartment that she could move in with me. Well, I should have found out when her lease was up before I told her that as her lease is up this month. So now I am scrambling to combine my baseball card room with my memorabilia room so her daughter has a room of her own. I moved my dining room table into storage and began to move my Andre Dawson cards into the dining room. These are just my double boxes. I didn't take a photo of all the cards in the dining room.
All of my non Andre Dawson cards went into the kitchen.
We then went to Lowes where her daughter picked out the color magic wand to paint her new room.
Now onto the memorabilia room. Gone is the Andre Dawson display table.
Gone is the Andre Dawson Panini National Treasures curio cabinet.
Gone is the Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire book case.
Gone in the Dale Earnhardt Jr die cast wall. (I took this picture after I already moved that cabinet in the way so you can't see the whole wall, but you get the idea)
I also had a wall full of Andre Dawson 8x10s that I did not take a picture of and like rest of the room, that wall id gone. So what did I do with all that stuff? Well some of it is boxed up as I plan on buying four more of these curio cabinets from Ikea, but we don't even have an Ikea is Louisiana so it might be awhile until I get those. A lot of the Andre Dawson display table is now cluttered into this curio cabinet which is in my living room.
A few pieces went onto this corner shelf also located in my living room which included a wood burned image from [MENTION=6235]CARDMAN[/MENTION]
All of my posters, uncut sheets, and miscellaneous items went into the closet for the time being. There might be a gift for [MENTION=1794]A_Pharis[/MENTION] in there.
Moved a little of the Dale Earnhardt Jr collection over to where the Andre Dawson display table used to be.
As you can see above this shelving unit I have a large window and I bought and cut to size a piece of insulation foam board to cover the window. I am going to buy and cut to size a piece of hardboard wall panel and place in the window and then thumb tack some more of my Dale Earnhardt Jr collection on it.
I went to Lowes and bought a 7 feet high by 7 feet long by 2 feet deep commercial steel shelving unit that could hold 2,000 pounds per shelf.
My wood shelves going around the top of my room are lower than 7 feet so I had to cut off the top of the backs of the the side supports. Not wanting to have to cut the top of the legs on another unit, I went to SAMs and bought the same exact shelving unit except one that is 6 feet tall and 6.5 feet long. I didn't want the wire shelves to put indentions into my boxes of Andre Dawson cards and possibly damage the cards inside the boxes so I went back to Lowes and bought 4 sheets of hardboard wall panel and cut them to size of the shelves.
Now I was ready to start putting my cards on the shelving units. This unit has my double boxes minus Topps on it. The boxes on the top are doubles that I still need to sort, count, and catalogue.
This unit hold my non doubles, PSA cards, unopened packs, and Topps doubles.
At the end of this shelving unit I transformed a book case I had full of Cubs collectibles into what will be a holding place for my odd ball sized Andre Dawson items and my supplies.
I have one wall left in the room and put a shelf that used to hold some of my Dale Earnhardt Jr collectibles on this wall to put my new mail on. I also put my custom made jersey cabinet and some other memorabilia on this wall. Yes, all four the 16x20 photos are autographed differently.
If you read through all of this then God Bless You lol. This is an on going project and I welcome all questions and comments. Thank You

My stuff is limited to my office and the garage. No matter how many times I tell my wife how EPIC an Athletics elephant mascot throw rug would be for our living room, she just doesn't seem to get it.
