Wow! Thats a heck of a collection!
A clear one would look good on that top shelf.
I cant remember the members name, and i cant search at the moment, but he had a crazy amount of these.
EDIT: I was thinking of gj67stang.
Heres a post of his. It looks like some of the pics might be dead now:

Nice collection! I’ve acquired somewhere north of 75 different ones over the years though progress has slowed this past while. I’m down to the last few that I want to get but they just haven’t shown up for a reasonable price, or at all. I’d post a pic but they’re all packed in a box at the moment. I keep promising myself that I’ll set up a display for them. Someday...

These are honestly one of my favorite tools. When I was a young bicycle mechanic (first job) many years ago, my boss had one and I would "steal" it whenever possible. That's probably why I love SnapOn hard handle screwdrivers and ratchets so much.
I have a few, mostly NASCAR themed because they tend to be cheaper. I've been trying to mix and match colors to build my friend one to match his race car (painted like the Mellow Yellow car), but ended up finding a NIB Steve Park wrench on eBay.

I was never a fan of those or the long ones. Just the standard ones.

I have a black one I bought 30 years ago that I still use all the time. None of these will ever turn a screw. These are for collection purposes only.....

That’s a really cool collection, and is as much about color as anything else. Additionally they will hold their value pretty well too.
*Ive got one Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver and I like my Husky version better.

I primarily collect orange hard handle ones but the difference with mine is I custom make them. Instead of multi bit I have dedicated #1,2, and 3 phillips and am finishing my flat drivers. I've added since this post but here is some custom ones.

That's a 70th anniversary one from 1990. I have a plane black one from around that time. Still use it all the time.

Hey there Jeff! You’ve added to your collection I see. What’s the grey one with the white ends you have there?

Nice, Jeff!
I just started collecting them a couple of months ago, so I have some catching up to do. I imagine I'll have well over 100 when all is said and done. I would love to see yours......

All those in a couple of months? That’s dedication! I was thinking after I posted that I vaguely remembered taking a picture of them a quite a while back. Did a little digging and found it. Judging by what’s there that pic is a couple of years old, maybe 3. Not a great pic but here’s the bulk of them.....

Not really interested in selling. Still have more I’d like to get to round off the group. New versions seem to be popping up all the time so that number steadily increases. It’s a never ending quest.
I'm sure I'll never be done. I just bought my first NFL one, so now I have 31 more to find lol

It’s a slippery slope for sure. I’ve stayed away from the NFL and NASCAR ones mostly because I’m not a huge fan of either sport but also because I know if I got one, I’d have to get em all. I do have a couple of Dale Earnhardt ones I got in a package deal but I didn’t pursue that avenue any further.
I'm not a Nascar fan at all, but I like the screwdrivers. I stayed away from the NFL ones until now because many of them have issues with the medallions fading or coming off, but I'm running out of ones to buy, so I had to expand my base lol

I on,y really have one that I have "collected" and that is one of the 70th anniversary ones.
It's still new in the box.
I bought two of them with the intent to use one and save the other.
I also have a red one but that one is also for use so I don't really consider that collecting

Pretty cool! However you loose the magnetic ability when you do that. That's one of the things I like most about it.

Ah cool. Never seen that one before.
Yep ...along with the 100th ratchet. A few others have posted that they have them in the new tools thread.
I have one in my collection. I might be able to get another one from my dealer if you want one.
