Do you collect brochures?

I was wondering how people display/protect/store their brochures. My collection of Cedar Point brochures is way over 100 and I want to find a way to display them.

Any suggestions.

I don't collect all the brochers, but I keep all of my park maps.

I collect T-shirts from each park I go to.

Squishymon I think he is talking about park maps. I collect the the park maps too. I don't have mine saved in any particular way. I have them in a folder.

Well, I keep all my stuff in a plastic waterproof tub, but if you want a way to display them, and keep in mind that 100 brochures is quite a bit, then I would suggest you get an album with vinyl pages, so you can keep them flat, and be able to turn to them at will.

Or, if you don't mind being tacky, then get some plastic shelves and set then up on your wall.

I have done so without ever really being aware then after I realized it I made it an issue to collect 'memoribilia'. I have been to 23 parks and ridden 120 rollercoasters. There is still other places I will go.

I always get at least one brochure and one map from each park I go to. I display them on my clothes dresser. I don't have very many, so I spread them out over the dresser, along with my on-ride photos.

I keep park maps, t-shirts, and coaster patches...but my favorite project is a necklace for all those squished coaster pennies. I hope the weight doesn't cost me airtime...LOL! Forgot to mention, pieces of The Raven and The Legend...and the coolest banner from over top of The Beast...have to post a pic of the "coaster room".

Never misses a shot on Mr. Haverlock...

I usually collect a t-shirt from each park but it just depends if the t-shirt is really worth me buying. I do collect brochures from parks also and I also collect park maps everytime I visit a park. Those are the only park things that I collect.

I get flack all of the time, but each year, I write the different parks requesting brochures and maps...even if I don't get to visit the park that year. I get about 50-60 different parks to respond each year and spend quite a bit on postage. What can I say? I enjoy collecting pieces of park history.

I love to collect brochures. I love looking back on the old Riverside ones. I keep that in a red box and when ever I'm near an amusement park I stop at rest areas on highways to see if they have brochures on that park.

I keep every map I get.

Shot glasses, magnets, and sqished pennies. There's something to be said about nostagia and tequila.

I used to do that when I was younger. I guess I kinda fell out of interest thanks to all the information now online! Especially good sites like this and GTTP.

Me too. I used to send out mass mailings to parks (I told them I was doing something for school). Most of them sent back press kits, many of which had publicity photos (drool drool). But yah, with the internet, it's a thing of the past.
