What an interesting question. I can think of several approaches. When my stein collection was getting a bit big, I moved to a larger house. That was a good solution, but not always practical. Much cheaper would be simply to learn to love all steins! Sit and meditate in front of the doubtful one, thinking about its good points. There is always something good to be found about a stein (although Avon and 60's Japanese are a bit challenging); if nothing else works fill it with good beer and drink it. It may take a few tries but eventually it will seem a great stein. Another thought is to have one shelf dedicated to gift steins, with labels saying who they are from. Maybe then your friends and relatives will compete to have the most impressive stein on the shelf.
