I didn’t know you were able to recover 20% of the collection before being locked out again. I know losing any of it is terrible, but I’m guessing you prioritized the very best pieces of the collection when recovering the 20%, such as your Lisa 1?
I kept my collection in storage lockers for years. I kept moving to larger and larger lockers, then eventually two large lockers, because my collecting got out of control. Prices kept going up every year and it was a nightmare having to pay what I did just to store the collection. Fortunately I was able to move to a house and relocated the collection to the basement. Not everything could come home with me, so I sold the remaining lower priority pieces to the first person who could clear the locker over a weekend. I didn’t get much for it, but at least it didn’t go to a recycler. > On Oct 17, 2022, at 4:54 AM, Sellam Abraham via cctalk > <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > > Long story very short: > > Landlords evicted me from their warehouse where my collection was stored > and wouldn't let me back in.
