I just received a couple of books this way from an LCS that's been around for ages.

They were quite snug in the bag, no chance of any movement.

I quite like it as you can view the back cover art work/adds. If a 4mil mylar is used and handled carefully I can't see a problem with storing this way

Having the board in the middle of the comic allows the LCS to scan the UPC if its on the back cover.

Thanks for posting this!  I checked my store earlier today, and it didn't carry any of these packs.

It's almost like WalMart (or the vendor) is repacking their comic repacks.  I don't think it's much of a coincidence how similar the sticker for "Marvel Comics 7 for $10" is to the "DC Comics 10 for $10" that I posted earlier (and above for reference).  I bet a lot of the unsold stock (for both the Marvel and DC packs) went back for further repacking and distribution.  If these truly are "pay for scan" as discussed earlier on in the thread, then WalMart doesn't really have much to lose (just shelf space), and the vendor likely wants to move the product any way they can.

The DC 10 for $10 pack I picked up had mostly New 52 issues inside in individual 3 packs. Batman, Lobo #1,  Justice league and on... All first print according to the mast head.

thank you so much for the compliment...My collection is truly my most prized possession and I feel astonishingly grateful to have it...

I do have a lot of Keys, Thats one reason why I've always wanted to Hang Them, To see how they would all look up together...but to be honest, as I said early in the post, while I absolutely love and enjoyed hanging them all...It also was an incredibly frustrating experience, because I quickly realized I wasnt going to have nearly enough room to have all or most of My Keys...Obviously I decided to Go with Most Of the Major Keys, But I only actually hung about 40% of what I wanted....There are so many Medium and Small KEYS that I love and I want so badly to have been able to hang... I've been constantly going to the comic book room looking around trying to think of a way to add more, But I'm just completely out of room...

 

anyways,again  Thanks for the comment....

That makes it easy then. Replace the 1/2 row with a full row. More comics is always the answer.

1st appearances are keys, yes?

A book in-demand isn't a key. It's just a "book in-demand".

Spawn #1 is a key, no matter how "in-demand" it is or how inexpensive it is.

Case in point: Detective Comics 880 isn't a key. Its just in demand

Do you happen to know about his Fear Agent art?

V. 3 / 2014

Is this the same one that was offered on the CBSI google groups?

Question: I got tired of looking at all the short boxes in my office and decided to make a comic cabinet / drawers. I've stained and varnished the outside but was thinking about finishing the inside as well. I stopped short because I was wondering that if I didn't keep the inside raw wood it would have an impact to the comics long term, maybe off gassing of the stain? Maybe I am overthinking this. All of the comics are in Mylar bags if that makes a difference. Thoughts?
