Here's an alternate idea, since I have more lids to Tupperware,
Rubbermaid, Glad Ware, etc., than a cupboard-mount holder can contain:
I keep all of the containers on one big shelf in my kitchen cabinets,
nested where that works with the sizes/shapes I have. All lids are
stacked (upright, not flat) in a dishpan in a drawer, by size.

So everything's relatively contained, and it's easy to find the right
lid when needed. More importantly, when I first set that up, it was
obvious how many missing bits there were, so I bought either lids or
containers to match from Tupperware, and discarded items for which I
could no longer get the matching part.
