So this is kinda how I got started on my petrolina addiction. I had started collecting some service station maps with the plan to display them one day. So that said lets see some ideas/pictures of maps

NOT EXACTLY SURE ON THE SEARCH SCIENCE ON FINDING OLD THREADS, BUT ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AGO I HOSTED A SHOWCASE THREAD CALLED MAP OF THE MONTH. DIFFERENT BRANDS SHOWING MAPS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND THEIR GRAPHICS. IT'S HOW MY EARLY YEARS OF COLLECTING PETRO STARTED AS WELL....EARLY 80'S. SAMPLE:

A REGULAR NON-ADVANCED SEARCH SHOWS ME MOTM #17 THRU #27 ONLY.
WHERE ARE #1-16?
AN ADVANCED SEARCH LOOKING FOR MOTM TOPICS OLDER THAN 3 YEARS GIVES ME NOTHING!
SOMETHING DON'T SOUND RIGHT! HOW FAR BACK DOES THE SEARCH HISTORY GO?

Here is how I have a sampling of my maps displayed.
No tape or anything, just pressure of the back against the maps and glass.
I don't use my best ones either, in case they fade. These are all duplicates.
There was a post about diplaying Maps not too long ago on here.

Not sure what you are looking for, when you say display? I have my maps all over the house. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here are a few of mine.     Uploaded with ImageShack.usI probably have between 30 or 40 maps displayed in various sized frames. Like most of those who collect maps, I have more "tucked away" and not displayed than those that are displayed.
