Default Trophy's

What does everyone do with their trophy's? Pack em up or display them? If you display them, where? I am thinking about putting them on shelves in the garage because that is my 'man cave'. No women are allowed and the guys are the only ones that would appreciate them anyway.

My favorites sit on shelves in the gargage. The newests usually sit in the living room around the TV. The Corvette Challnege trophy upgrades troupies sit on the desk.

I don't have a fireplace Fuzzy. I'm thinking garage shelves but I worry how they will hold up with the high humidity we have in Florida.

Maybe I need to move north!

I tossed 2 boxes of trophys a month ago. What's left are dispalyed in a sitting room off the master bedroom. I have a 1/2 dozen 4' ones on the floor (too large to put over the fireplace) and a bunch 2' to 3'. The house is going up for sale so I have to figure out someting to do with them. Out of the lot there only 5 that I would like to keep. I think the crusher will be seeing them shortly.

I keep Both of mine in a glass enclosed cabinet.. in our living room...

If I ever win 1 more (total 3) I'll have to put an addition on the condo

Seriously I think I'm going to make a deal with the "KID" and have him sell em on E Bay.. I'll split the $$ 25% for me 75% for him...

Hey you never know someone might bid on em...
