How do you deal with the ephemera that you've collected over the years?
Some of it is highly personal, as in artwork that I created in my yoot; some of it is historical, for instance, Goodyear ads from the 90's that show the 33 car lineup of the Indy 500 (this was back before Tony George laid waste to the series), some of it is just posters collected that harken back to my younger life, for instance ads for Klein mountain bikes when mountain bikes were in their infancy, or ski posters for equipment that's no longer on anyone's radar, or Porsche posters or old racing posters (Detroit GP, Portland Indycar race, that kind of stuff) .....
It's time to purge. What say the collective? A brutal scorched earth policy, recycle all of it; or should I try and find homes for stuff I've held onto for more than half my life?
I'm torn. I don't think about this stuff until I start going through it, and of course then I can think of a lot of reasons to hang onto everything.....
