These are all great points, but there is one aspect that hasn't been touched on. There are many great covers out there that don't come up for sale very often. Some of these precode books don't have tons of file copies in high grades. It's not were, if one comes up and the price is a little high, you can just wait for another one to come up for a better price. You have to consider how scarce the book is in that grade. If you miss out on a 7.5 or 8.0, you may not see another come up for years.

Great Book!! One of my favorite Cole covers. [thumbsup]

Very cool book! Nice pick-up. [golfclap]

I got this one right before Christmas.

 

Great Book!!! Nothing says Christmas like monkey brains. [applause]

Thank's again for all your wonderful comments.[smile] I should just post the blueprints right here on the thread.

I have to tell you...I don't normaly do this sort of thing. I mean... turning out all the lights. I'm ...er...afraid of the dark.

I agree. Fill up that display. Lets see them. [thumbsup]

Those are beautiful books. The River City and Spokane are killer copies. The Thing 7 sends shivers down my spine.[thumbsup]

Here's a shot with all the lights out and just the led's lit.

Groovy

Here's the "Wall of Fame" filled with EC horror.

A lot of the books were early CGC submissions. For all the books you can't make out the grades on, you'll have to take my word for it......They're all 9.8's

Thank's everyone for all the positive comments. I've had a request to fill the wall with EC horror books. I'm going to post some pix in the Recent Pre-code Purchases thread. If your an EC fanaddict you'll want to check it out.

And to adamstrange: I'm sending you the blueprints.

Hello everyone, [hi]

I'm Brian and I'm new to the boards, but not to collecting comics. I've enjoyed reading these threads over the last few weeks and I'd like to join in on some of the conversations. I've met a few bordies already and you all seem like a great group of guys.

I wanted to share with you my "Wall of Fame" in my comic room. I built this myself. It displays 30 books and has accent lighting above the books. I've filled it with some of my L. B. Cole collection. Here's a few pix:

Love that Startling Terror Tales 11 [applause]

Here's a few more

Now that's a tough act to follow. NICE BOOKS!!! [cloud9]

I hope we don't have to wait too long. The SUSPENES is killing me.

Here's another great cover.

One of my favorite Cap's

Here's a fun cover. This one is tough in higher grades.

I want in. Here's mine.

Can I join? Do I need to fill out a membership form or can I just show you my goods?
