I'm like you all, I collect individual shells too. What's funny is I could care less about the headstamps, it's the oddball overshot cards that really get me going. I love the Remington Game Load line with all the different types of birds and animals listed on the cards.
I've got a lot of my more interesting ones lined up in an old gunners box that's got shell holders in it. It's a 10 gauge box so almost everything will fit in it. I've gotta take some pics of my shelves of that sorta thing sometime.
Did a gunshow over the weekend and made a good find for Charlie, a 24 gauge round ball shell made by Remington. I picked up several 28 gauge slugs for myself too, first time I'd ever seen any of those for sale.

P.S. I agree, those racks are a great idea.
