I can easily imagine having a few hundred cabs if you collect them or make them for the big show comming up. So, d o you label your cabs and if so what is the most common type of labeling? if stick on label what size and where to find them. or write info on the stone?How does one store them? Clueless in Fla. Appreciate your responses!!

For my collection, I keep mine in riker cases inside labeled zip locks. They still look nice with the cab facing forward- away from the label. I can take them out to get a better look if I want to. I never wanted to use a label. Too small.

I used to build small (6"X 8" X 1" or 8" X 12" X 1") display cases with a particleboard back, foam fill, a slide in plexiglass top, and a piece of metal to rotate up and hold the glass in place. something like this I found on the net. Riker CsesLater you might like something like this with a notebook listing what is what.

Oooooo, ahhhhhh.... I want that case on the bottom. Gucci! Me too, and a place to put it! I just finished photographing and sorting nearly 1,000 cabs. I keep a computer log by number and store them in similarly numbered plastic baggies. Now I'm on a quest to find one of those plastic drawer things that has drawers a couple of inches higher. The contraption I built reminds me of the ironic old IBM poster that read "Plan Ahea...d." I overlooked the height needed. This is an out-of-focus "grab" shot but hopefully it conveys the idea:
