My TM Collection

[MasakiLHW]

I'm from Brazil and I was a TM collector a long time ago. Here's part of what I have.

Is there a place I can send all these, that more people can benefit of it?
Like an anime museum or someone that will continue my collection, not reselling.

As far as that goes, it sounds more like it'd something local than anything. Check around your city/town for something like that because there isn't some giant anime LEXICANUM that everyone has common knowledge of. Although there was that one 90's anime convention they had a long while ago.

All in all I'd say keep building up your collection, dude. It's pretty good.

My collection needs a new home... FAST. I'm not selling it.
Who's the person that always scan the KM doujinshi and shares with us?

I'd be willing to accept some things if you wanted.

Jesus, that's an impressive collection.

Very kind of you to share it with the community.

I have to say though, it makes me sad to see that you can't hang onto it any more?

I can vouch for Shades of Blue, if you want to send it to him.  We do a lot of scanning and releases, although it's slow going.

I have much of what you pictured already, but the fan doujins are intrigueing.  However I don't collect anything because of storage costs.  Once I'm done with something, when I have time, I eventually intend to give it away if it's intact, or trash it (if I had to rip it apart for scanning).

If you want to scan it and post it online yourself, we can help you there too.

Jeez, I'm looking back at these pictures again and what amazes me most is that everything is neatly wrapped. Very impressive. Makes my hunt for bags and boards that actually fit my doujinshi collection ("golden age" fits most of it) seem small.

I believe the Japanese usually use something like Cellowrap because it all seems custom wrapped (cut and tape), especially on bulks of CDs etc, you can pick up 3'x50' at Arts and Crafts stores or a Wal-mart for a few dollars, like so (there's a clear option but must be chosen):

Idk if it's good for long term storage though.  Something to research.

For boards, if you don't mind them somewhat on the thin side, poster board found in many places, dollar stores generally have 22x28 2 for $1 - should be enough for a dozen Kajishima Onsens.  Or foam board for really heavy duty protection.  After general cutting, exact sizing can be had with a paper trimmer like this:

or this:

I have access to a professional bookbinders one that weighs well over 20kg and can cut 100 sheets at a time, so Idk how these cheap ones compare.

Yeah that's probably not good for long term storage, due to acids in the plastic and cardboard.

Personally I use these to store my doujinshi and a good chunk of my tenchi collection.

Polypropylene bags have a seven year life cycle, at which point they begin to break down and should be replaced. Then there's mylar bags, which are archival grade and last forever, but none of the stores around here carry them.

And here are also two other other goodies BCW has, but I found that the manga bags should be a bit longer and I cannot comment on the fit of the dvd/manga storage box, because I do not have one.
