The point of this thread shouldn't be about size, it's about quality and how much you like what you got. A thousand is about 900 or so more than the average person has.

Does size matter? If you have a small one, can you still provide satisfaction when its required? People might tell you that size is not important, but are they just saying that to make you feel better? Or will they seek satisfaction somewhere else, from someone with a bigger one?

BTW, Progatron, our collections are pretty much identical. We rule.
I used to have all my CD, LPs, DVDs, boxed sets, etc., in display cases/shelves. It actually got too overwhelming with wall-to-wall media. i love seeing everyone's collections as they are. A lot of detail and love, for sure. For me, I decided to store it all except for some, as I stated earlier.
I then opted to make my music room all KISS and display my autographed collection. I keep tweaking it and changing out some stuff. I'd say about 75% of the items displayed are autographed.
My collection was featured on a segment on local morning news a couple of years ago:
...and YES -- that is a Renuzit™ air freshener signed by Ace Frehley that came from his home studio.
For all the collections shown thus far that include music -- how do you catalogue your music? Is it alphabetically? Genre?

About 500 of my CD's are sitting on Spindles, as I went through a stage when I got rid of the cases and artwork and just hung on to the disk. I have about 400 more that are actually still in their cases, but are in big cardboard Boxes. I have 2 300 CD jukeboxes that handle the ones I most often listen to, but to be honest, almost all my listening comes from my phablet. I just find it too convenient. about once a year I go through and try to categorize the disks, but almost always have to give up. Its a lot of music, and for me I have been through so many stages where I listen to a lot of say 70's stuff, or soundtracks, then it falls out of favor and I pick up Blues with big brass, then I move on. Prog pretty much stays put, but the other stuff goes in and out like the weather. Short of dedicating an entire room to music, I just collect - no, its more like a hoarder - I find disks under 10 year old piles of computer training DVD's. Who knows what I was thinking. The only place where I know where everything is is on my phone, which does a decent job of keeping it in order. And that is backed up to 2 computer drives which both have Carbonite, so I'm reasonably well protected.
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

I'm totally amazed by your collection Gruno. I've been downsizing, I gave away some really nice stuff - an autographed Sex Pistols lithograph/framed (minus Sid - Glen Matlock instead - from a radio announcer in Texas who knows the band and has written books on them) and a bunch of other stuff (e.g., a Santana autographed guitar), a Beatles Lithograph -- all to my older brother. I've got a bunch of classic posters that I have no room to frame.
I still have a good collection though. I already posted some my favourite stuff here.
I organize one of my CD cases alphabetically by band. The other case - a big part by type of CD - A row for MFSL CD (and related), three rows for Japan mini-lp cds, classic rock, jazz, punk. Less well organized than the first case.
Gruno - I can see why your collection was on the news!!
I'll add that some of my CDs I consider part of my "memorabilia collections", sort of. The 30 Japan Promo Mini-LP CD box sets are almost all unopened (and never will be as I have duplicates) are like a collection (also posted earlier).

I used to work for a podiatrist and Gene Simmons was one of his clients; I am the proud owner of one of Gene's ingrown toenails (I was too shy to ask Gene to sign it). Gene told Dr. XXXXXXXX the boots he wore onstage damaged his big toes which, based on the toenail I have, are fucking huge, just like his tongue. I've been offered 4 figures for it but I'm keeping it safe in the velvet box next to where I keep the lollipop stick that hit David Bowie in the eye back in 2004.
My wife has always complained about my CDs and books most of the time we were married. In all fairness, we moved a lot and most of that time was in apartments. Now we're in a decent size house and I have carte blanche. She even took a very active interest in decorating my man cave. Still, I need a lot more bookshelves.

Definitely not alphabetically for me - I don't want Yes and Zappa way at the bottom where they'd be hard to get to. Genre and Chronology are mostly how I organize. The left side of my main prog shelves are the 'old guard' - bands that started in the 60s and 70s, including their respective members' solo releases. Sometimes that rule is broken however: Bill Bruford's albums, for example, are found in the fusion section.
The right side is "80s and beyond", beginning with bands like Marillion and IQ and then branching out into different sections based on different genres, and sometimes quite simply what I want displayed more prominently. I like to rearrange them from time to time. I also keep all the Italian bands together, as I suspect most people do, and the same goes for French and Scandinavian bands. It ends up being a rather complex set of variables but it makes perfect sense to me.
