I've done that same task at many of the Matthews auctions in the last 5-6 years.....in some cases 30-40 in a few hours. It will wear you out pretty quick.

I moved 2 years ago and it is an arduous task boxing all your collection. But, now I have room to diplay it all and I was finding stuff that had been boxed for years. Like a whole new find...
Good luck on the move.

Richard, I am boxing about 12 globes in 1 1/2 hours. I guess i am a little more careful. LOL
I did find a body that was cracked that i am sure wasn't when it went up on the shelf. I am doing all this by myself and taking down the wiring and lights and removing globe rings to.

Congratulations on the new house. You said this is all going into storage, will you be able to display at the new place?
