Although I've narrowed my choice down to 1 or 2 that I play, I continue to buy more pics to try them out. Plus I like collecting them also. Just picked up some "godfather" pics.

With the number growing anyone have any clever ways to stash/store them?

I practice in our living room so I keep a stash in a decorative cup my wife has out. But the rest are all in my cases.

Yep, I put them right on top of my amp so they are right there when I go to play again. But I only keep one or two out in case they get knocked off by a kid or cat.

The new ones in in a drawer close by

I have a bowl on my desk in the studio that is a reproduction of a bowl from ancient Egypt... a fat, round little bowl with a pedestal of two human feet sticking out of the bottom. (I'm told that the image of a bowl with feet is the hieroglyph for the verb "to bring").

It's a great conversation piece, and it holds about 100 picks (of maybe 20 different types) right now.

have a little tin box. It actually came in one of the British guitar magazines(maybe Total Guitar?) I keep it inside the chassis of the combo I play the most. Another issue of the same magazine had 3 strat style knobs that went to 11. I may use 2 of em on my Squier Mini Strat refinish.

Pockets, cases, I used to have a little attachment that held them, but that was when I wanted to be Dick Dale.

I should ad, i started being vigilant about keeping them in the tn, with lid on, because i have a cat. She is a hoarder (could probably be on that show,) i find little stashes of shiny stuff under the couch or bed etc during cleaning.

It was finding several picks when cleaning the litter box that did it for me. She would carry them in there and bury them. needless to say, i threw those out and I never leave the lid off the box anymore.
