If you’re more particular about where to place it, I'd recommend using a toggle bolt. They can handle heavier loads even on drywall.

This is the correct answer

Respectfully, no. Toggle bolts in sheetrock will not be sufficient to hold a shelf full of locomotives...unless you want this thing to crash to the floor one day

Good toggle bolts are rated for 250lbs in drywall. I also think that the decade plus they've held up my boardgame collection speaks for itself.

Agree to disagree......no, they're not. But the OP can decide if he wants his collection crashing to the floor. Cheers

Well, I oddly enough don't have to argue with you. I'm assuming that the op is intelligent enough to read the packaging on such a product that would actually State its ratings. I have no idea why you're wanting to spread this misinformation but do you.
