Well, I'd say that 3rd point is the exact one in the photo! Is that a Hothem book?

Wow that's a beautiful collection and your new points are just awesome. I've not found any that looks that good. WTG
Bummer about the falling frame

[Flint-seeker]

That broken display case sucks!

With the size of your collection now, I'd be looking into second hand display cases like below! (They don't fall off of walls!!!)

[trevmma]

yeah like someone could fill those cases up,lol or even 9 of them. Jk

That last picture is a nightmare... Many years ago I was put up some wooden shelving in our old house to hold some of common pots I dug. I ran out of large drywall anchors, and used a light weight anchor instead of going back to the store.

That corner gave out first when the wind slammed the a door in the house. That corner hanging loose put strain and torque on the next anchor, it failed, and the process continued down the entire shelf. Luckily most of the pots landed on carpet and were fine. A couple broke where I had already reglued them. One piece was pulverised when the shelf fell on it and ended up being vaccum food.

Now I have about 45 feet of shelving in my den that is anchored directly into the studs. I could probably climb them like a ladder if I wanted to (I have a hammock hanging from the same configuration on our back patio and it holds my overweight self just fine.) For frames I use the metal toggle drywall anchors, they cost about a buck or so a piece. I figure I don't have a single frame up on my wall where I don't have at least $2 worth of time, effort, sweat, or dollars invested in it.

That's horrible Joshua!

But for the record, I literally laughed out loud at your "vaccum food" comment! What a shame...
