Over time I acquired extra decals due to:
A. Kits that met disasters before the decal stage and were scrapped,
B. “Stock” decals that were replaced by aftermarket sets,
C. Leftover decals from sheets that gave options to build various versions of the subject,
D. That bin at your LHS that was just full of close-outs, some of which were as low as 99 cents!
Not sure why I keep ones like B. and C. other than I am a bit of a pack rat. What do you guys do with yours?
I do the same as you, put em all in a box. They do come in handy from time to time. I only throw em out if they’re total crap.
Keep in a box for later. I just made a road hazard sign out old decals.

One thought I had is this: I have a couple of Hasagawa F-20 kits…The F-20 never went into production, and all it came with was demonstrator type markings, so…I could stretch my imagination a bit and give them a home at a base somewhere…
I keep mine in either flat boxes or in binders using vinyl photo/document/card holder pages. I have decals from my earliest days of scale modeling…that’s more than 40 years worth. You never know when a decal might come in handy.
I keep mine in Zip lock bags stored in boxes. Never throw away a good decal. They have come in handy on several occassions. Only problem is sorting through the massive collection looking for that one sheet I vaguely remember. I really should get them organized. Maybe manana [:)].

I use them on my wife as “tempoaray tattoos”…
Mrs. Manny:
"…honey, I’ve got a black dress & red shoes, but I need a little something to bring it all together… doyou have any leftover JG-52 decals I can wear?.." [:D]
Do you just use just the SS panzer divisional signs or Heer as well?
