I call home, London.
1,800 decks! Where do you put them all! LOL!
I was bitten by the bug a while ago, I've just managed to keep it under tight control. If I didn't I'd probably be broke by now. 
But I do look forward to reading the topics here. It will probably help me focus on what decks will make my collection more robust, but still keep it under control.
Where do I put them? Well...
There are these boxes that sports memorabilia shops sell for holding baseball and other sports cards - I've seen CCG players use them as well. A "super monster" box has five columns in it, each holding a thousand baseball cards. For typical decks of average size and thickness, a single super monster box holds 125 decks. I have a stack of them in my bedroom, holding all my still-sealed copies. About ten of them are filled to max capacity, with perhaps one part-full and two still empty.
For the open decks, I have these stackable drawer units from Staples - I got the idea from Kevin Reylek, a magician and card guy who works over at Penguin Magic these days, but when I met him, he was still with the Blue Crown. They're plastic and have these stops on the sides of the drawers to keep them from accidentally sliding out. A single-height drawer holds about 45 decks, and double-height drawers hold far more than twice as much, though they're better suited for larger items like boxed sets. I have four drawer units - two are 12 single-height drawers each, two are 10 singles and two doubles each. There's still plenty of capacity left, but they're filling up fast.
I still have to get through resorting the entire collection at some point. It's completely disorganized, beyond having sealed decks in one place and open decks in another. But in its present state, it takes up not quite an entire wall in my bedroom, so that's not so bad, really, especially when you consider that my wife and I have a four-bedroom apartment.
Another Ontarian here. I’m from Burlington, have lots of friends that live out in London.
Welcome aboard, Buttons!
