Marking your collection for inventory/catalog

The tags wouldn't look very nice for those pieces that are displayed, and I worry that the adhesive stickers might come loose. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Hello Steve,
I'm glad you've asked this question as I am considering doing the same and will be interested in the replies. I wasn't going to mark mine just using the photo of the item.
