I bag everything. If I buy it, I bag it. I dont mind being weird.

I don't discriminate really between Pence or Cents and have lots of each. I would normally buy whichever the higher grade. Obviously the Pence copies have a much smaller print run and are desirable to a lot of people, but I think think that the Cents copies are more widely accepted, especially the keys. If faced with the choice of buying Pence or Cents of equal grade, I would buy the Cents but the completist in me would get them both if I could afford them. A few examples of both.

I just worked my way through A-Z and tried to cover DC, Marvel, Gold Key & Charlton. Next time I am off work I will do some war books. Very impressive Moreover you are from UK and for non-US collectors is much more difficult to build this kind of collection. I am from the UK and it has been and is difficult, much easier since the internet. Back in the days of catalogs, changing currency & sending cash or American express money orders to some random seller in the US only to find the issue sold or never to hear from him again, used to be worrying. Luckily 99% of people I dealt with turned out to be honest decent sellers. Thanks guys.

#9 One of my favorite covers.

Finally got around to it. Sorry for the wait guys. Here is my room. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5599813#Post5599813 Here are some photos of some of my comics. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5601216#Post5601213

Very nice room. Really like the HC display. Awesome AF 15 and Hulk 1. What's the picture above your slabbed books - the black and white one? Edit - WOW, just did the math - that nearly 50,000 comics! + More than 100 long boxes. I put from about 1980 onwards and whatever I was complete with into boxes as I didn't need the access. There nothing worse than filling a gap and having to move 25 boxes to put it in place. Best thing I ever did was get the cabinets, full access. The picture is Batman / Vampirella. The room used to have lots of OA on the walls but its all kept in a case now as not much wall space left.

I finally got around to taking some photos of my main comic room. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5599813#Post5599813 While I was in there I pulled a few books out to photograph also. I hope you like my stuff.

This room is not on the ground floor, I do worry about the ceiling falling in as my computer room is directly below and I spend a lot of time in there. If it is windy outside it can be quite unnerving as you can hear creaking above you.

I have seen some great rooms on here and finally got time to take a few photos of mine. Years ago it used to be all prettied up, but now it is purely functional due to my collection getting seriously out of hand in size. I have 21 filing cabinets in all. You can get approx 600 comics per drawer. I think that they are best as I can get to most of my collection (SA & BA anyway) in minutes. I still have lots of overspill into other rooms, loft and the garage in long boxes. I need a bigger house. I don't want to fill out this thread with photos of comics, but I will pull some out if someone posts a link where to show them....and anyone wants to see.

Very nice.
