    Hi everyone,

    Not sure if this is the right thread -- if not, any advice on where to post would be greatly appreciated.

    I have recently gone through the process of slabbing large parts of my collection ... the result is that I now have about 1,000 CGC books, a number that will eventually double as the rest of the books come back and as I continue to buy more books.  So, I have a storage problem.

    My best idea for a solution at the moment is to use a pair of closets in my comic-book man cave, which is basically a finished portion of my attic.  These closets are currently being used for all my raw books, using a combination of custom wooden shelving and "drawerboxes," and would need to be converted to hold CGC books.  These closets don't have a lot of height -- they are essentially tucked under the roof of the attic space, with a ceiling that quickly slopes down so that there is more depth to work with the lower you go.  A custom solution will be required if I want to maximize the storage capacity of these closets.

    I'm thinking about asking a cabinetmaker / custom closets expert to help me design a custom solution ...  what I'm imagining at the moment is a set of "drawers," each the width of one book and the full height of the closet so I don't have to worry about pulling out a long heavy drawer above floor level that can't support its own weight.  I have a good friend who's a really talented interior designer, ready to help me out, but she isn't a comic book person and she's never done a project quite like this before.

    So ... my question for the group is, can anyone recommend someone we can speak to who either has the skills and experience to actually build what I'm looking for, or has commissioned a project like this and can give me ideas and advice on what the design might be and who might be able to do the job?

    Sparing you all photos for now, but happy to provide those to anyone with a genuine interest in helping me on my little quest.

    Thanks!

    -- Lou

    Check out http://www.handsomeboydesigns.com/about/  They make "ComicTombs" and do custom orders. Also I worked with them on my tombs that were damaged in shipping and they arranged for everything pick, repair, delivery - very good product and service. Recently sold my whole collection so now need to start rebuilding from scratch later this year and will be filling mine up again.

    I have a lot that are not displayed. Not sure about the C with SH from the 70s can you scan the covers?

     

    Yes, they are oversized and from 1975 & 1976.

    what about these?

    These I have in multiples - look at the wall picture I used the back covers on the right side as they are as cool as the front!

    Nice collection.

    We also have those Christmas with Super Heroes from the 80's, do you have the 2 from the mid 70's?

    Also, if you like Batman (modern), they did the Long Halloween that covers many holidays including X-mas.
