    Ok, bought a Cherry display case for my 1:18 scale models & other Ferrari stuff
    They look good!

    What and how have you folks labeled your collections? I'd like to come up with some labeling technique so someone peering into the case can readily identify the cars. I want the labels fairly small and non-obtrusive.

    Short term: What I'm doing now is P-touching the names & sticking them on hanging-folder tabs which have sticky glue that adheres to the glass shelf. This looks poor.

    I was thinking buying some plastic, heating it & bending it into stantions & labeling those to put in front of the cars. But my artistic ability is near zero.

    Ideas?

    Print the names on small squares of card stock, fold them in half so they stand up, and then you have small free standing labels in front of the cars. Sort of like the price labels in display cases.

    I want to label my collection as well. I went to 'The sharper image', because they have their cars on display. I asked the manager where they got those plastic label holders, but he said that the home office sends those to them. Those would be ideal for my collection!!!
