Those are the original 3-D glasses alright, and the funny animal books are not that common.  The Adventures in 3D has a great horror story.

Do The Glasses themselves being that they are original add any extra value to the books?

is there are market just for the Glasses?

thanks

I found/Pulled These Issues this week...

2 were new finds, The rest were Pulled after the News of Comic Con this weekend

I found these 2 copies from The Dark Knight Returns few days ago....had been sitting a box of Graphic Novels I put together a few months...didnt really look at them to good and mistook them for paperback graphic Novels

also found These DC/Marvel Crossover Classics 2 and 4....Which I'm going to sell...But glad I found them

Pictures would be REQUIRED!

I've recently Put together A Ton Of Silver Age and Bronze's Keys that I have Doubles and Triples of, I've got them in Order and Taken Pictures and I would like to make a thread for "Trading" purposes, I've got a list of Keys that I'm Missing that I want to trade for and I would Like to make a thread showing my KEYS that I would trade and Then make a list of the Keys I'm looking for....

But I'm not exactly sure where to make this thread.

In The Forum Only Selling Area Forum Or The "Want To Buy" area....I've seen "Trading" Threads in Both...But I know rules are strict..

Basically the thread would consist of Several hundreds Keys Issues in group shots which total about 40 total pictures, I would Then add a list of around 80 Keys issues I'm looking for and want to trade for....

could someone please give me advice on where the right place to make this thread is...

thank you so much.

This might be the single most fascinating picture I've ever seen....and Mean that Literally....

first of course its a collection of The most of the ICONIC Marvel Keys....

But Next, Because They are RAW and look like they are in INSANE conditioning...I know this was posted awhile ago but if the poster is still here...if you dont mind me asking, are the conditioning of all of these in the 9.0 + range?

Truly stunning...I love that they are RAW(I dont have a single CGC) but thats whats makes this so fascinating, I cant help but wonder just how high these would grade if sent in to CGC considering how incredible they look

I guess maybe you wouldn't be able to open the drawer without impacting the books if they were there? Anyways I love the whole setup!

Ya The reason I didnt put any row there was because I was afraid I might hit the comics when I pulled the drawers out....

but I did some checking and realized It would be ok so I went ahead and added some just as you suggested.

sometimes slower than usual, but they last 3-7 years; and can get a yellowing or stickiness to it or get wavy like the ones I see in the picture

Thank you for the advice....

I inherited the collection from The Grandfather, Not My dad....

and I cant tell you how much you are right when it comes to The Yellowing and stickiness...

85% of the collection I inherited was silver age and bronze DC and Marvel....but there were some kinda not so popular titles like "Star Trek", "The Thing", "Marvel Triple Action"....stuff like that.

I'm entirely convinced My grandfather hadnt even opened the boxes of These titles in 35+ years....He stopped Buying and adding to his collection in The Late 80s....from then until 2013 when he died, He simply owned and stored his collection....But When I inherited the collection and went through it, I could tell The Important and Major titles had Newer bags and backers that he updated at some point....But On some of The not so important titles...I'm convinced The bags and backers were on there since The Late 80s....as you said The were extremely yellow and sticky...especially where The tape was on The flap, the tape had almost turned to goo....luckily as far as I can see Literally no damage was done to any of the books....but I actually took pictures of the Bags because I'm convinced These are the bags he bought in the late 80's, put them on The comics and Literally had not opened or touched the books since....They still had 1980s prices on them where he looked them up in the price guide and put a sticker on the back with their 1980s value.....

i think this should be the final update...I truly have no more room.

thank you...

Believe it or not....Every comic I own has new bags and backers as of 2015....

I've never really thought about Display Protection because Until recently, My Comics have basically Been Boxed.

I Inherited the collection in 2013, It took around 2 years to go through it, buy new bags and backers for every issue, New boxes and Grade every issue...and since Then My dad became extremely ill where I became his sole caretaker before he passed in November. but basically during this time My collection just sat around in Boxes....Its only The last 7 months since his passing and since I joined this forum and Others that I've started to hang comics...I dont have Kids or anything so I'm not worried about damage or accidents. and I dont let anyone in my comic room so I dont worry about theft(or at least Theft by anyone I know)

I did recently upgrade to an amazing Security system for my house and I got an insurance policy for my collection.

I've had many people tell I should get Mylar for my Keys...But To be honest I've got Near 1,700 Keys and It would cost a ton to get that many for my keys...also for me personally I've never had any issues or problems with using regular Bag and backers.

I might Be a little more convinced to use the Mylar If My Major Keys were Like 9.4s or 9.8s....I know A ton of collectors only buy the the extremely high grade comics and I could completely understand wanted to use Mylar and extra protection for those...but My Major Keys are in the 4.0 to 8.0 range(of course I got a few lower and higher) but The Majority of my collection are Mid-grade .

If I could ever find like an extremely great deal on Mylar in Bulk, I might consider getting some....But as I said, between 2013 and 2015...I bought New bags and Backers for what turned out to be near 100 Boxes of comics...I didnt really keep track of how much I spent, but It was a lot

I'm quite sad....I have no idea what to do with this giant Hulk Poster.

I've had in hung up in my comic room since 2008, Its kinda rare....I got it from a guy who worked at Blockbuster, Its the Promotional poster they gave out to Blockbuster to hang in their windows when it came out on DVD in 2008...Its Huge, Its actually 4 Posters put together...

I've always loved it but I had to take it down to hang my keys with J Channel...

I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a way to get it back in the comic room but there truly is no room...

I'm actually thinking about hanging on the ceiling ....

The sheer number of keys in your collection is jaw dropping.

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....

this has been a problem for me and probably every collector....I use old Shirts and roll them up....

But I've had an idea for a perfect invention for this exact problem in my head for years...I swear If I could ever meet someone or a company that invents things and Tell them my idea...I have absolutely no doubt my invention I've thought up in my head would instantly become A Regular item all collectors would use to in these situations

Unfortunately...My idea will almost certainly never see the light of day...but I'm telling you...Its perfect..

What are those brown spots on the wall above the comics?  Dirt?  Mold? 

It was dirt/glue from the back of a Giant Incredible Hulk poster I had hanging there...lol luckily my house is Mold free...

Is there a key you don't own lol. Truly impressive.

Thank you so much for the compliment...

I was incredibly lucky to inherit A massive 175 box collection that were 85% silver age and bronze Marvel and DC . and again LUCKILY Damn near all the Major Keys were there

I've always wanted to hang my keys on the walls like this but for whatever reason I never got around to it.

The Problem I'm having now is, I'm flat out of room...I've probably only hung about 40% of what I want to hang and I'm not going to be able to hang any of My Duplicates of Keys.

But Im very happy with the way its turning out....I should finish tonight, Only got enough room for 2 more rows...

Nope. I havent hung my first print yet...I'm think about Hanging with a Picture frame Above the rest...

The one in the pictures is a 3rd Print a found about 3 months ago...

I got real lucky, I was going through a box a found 2 copies of TMNT #1(3rd Prints) and 2 Copies of TMNT #4(1st Prints) and Multiple copies of 5 through 8.

I did however Trade The Duplicate copies of #1 and #4 for another Key issues I was missing

Went through some boxes I basically didnt even know I had the last few days....found some pretty good stuff-

I'm keeping most of it, But I'm probably gonna sell the Infinity Watch run(just not my thing)
