Thank you. But that is the heart of the issue. When I moved I had less space, and realized how much I owned. Very little is on display. If I can purge the newer toys, I can get more room / money and start showcasing the better stuff.
How do you know if that artwork is prototype vs someone just hand drawing a piece they saw somewhere. I’m just curious because I don’t see anything on there that says for prototype use or any authentication.
Very fair question. It comes down to your knowledge in the field and the people you buy from. I myself have been collecting original artwork and prototypes for more than 20 years. Majority of samples will never have any documentation (Internal usage). Also the employee's you buy from do not want their name attached to a product they took out of the back door from their employer. Majority of Authenticity Letters are provided by the collector who owns them or a 3rd party service. Not a lot of stuff is faked for majority of toy lines. Usually it is 3D prototypes like hardcopies, but if you know your stuff you can tell. Most of the drama (90%) is in the Star Wars vintage market.

Do you have a part of your collection that is displayed? It would be awesome to see a tour video of that. Your collection and knowledge is top level.
