Stash Reorganization:Part 1

Ok I broke down and went to Mile High Comics and purchased
the "Silver Age" comic backing boards. They are 7x10-1/2 inches
slightly larger than the "current" issue boards which are about
6-3/4 x101/2" got 200 boards to start with but I know I will end
up needing about 4-5 times that many once I get started.
Now my problem is going to be WHERE/HOW will I store all these
after I get my fabric folded onto them.
But I will NOT go back to the store where I got these from as
the guy pretty much made me mad as heck. He asked what was
I planning to use that many boards for I told him for folding my
fabric onto them.
He made a few RUDE comments about about how "crafters" are
always using things not intended for them. I told him I was being
NICE by bringing my business LOCALLY to his store as to going to
a big chain store or online to get them. But if he didn't want my
business that was fine with me I can shop else where.

Thanks to everyone for your nice comments! I think I will be checking thrift stores for dressers in the future! I have a few places around the house that I could easily put a few...
I did most of the wrapping while enjoying some Netflix streamed TV Shows (finally getting hooked on Downton Abbey!) and listening to an audiobook. I started folding FQs for the top drawers yesterday and then will get back to another section of my stash.
I'm not going put it all on boards because 1) I don't have enough bookcase or drawer space and 2)I have a lot of stash and my current system works pretty well. The most active stash is in the drawers as I'm always looking for binding to match a UFO or a blender fabric and love being able to see them at a glance!
