I cringe everytime I see that picture. Something else was going on there. I have a gun safe in my basement with a nearby dehumidifer. I have kept raw comics in there for probably 10 years with no problems. I have kept slabs in there for 5+ years with no problems. Not sure of the specific situation with the safe in that picture but there must have been some other chemicals involved. From what I remember it happened quickly, a 9.8 Hulk 181 no less. Even in a humid environment it would take a long time to get that kind of rust. In summary, I believe safes are safe for your staples. What he said

I like to display my books. My man-cave santuary has NO windows. The light wattage is very low and only goes on when I venture down there.I also use the Eva Dry 333 mini de-humidifiers in my safes (thumbs u

John came to the Toronto Pulp Show and told me that they turned down an offer of $175K on the WT Robinson run, so that should give you an idea of the expectation

You mean December 1932, don't you?

My latest acquisition: REH Brundage Red Nails Goodness. Wanting this one for some time

Thanks. (thumbs u To think I picked up this cabinet around ten years ago from Walmart for under $100.00. Unfortunately, manufacturing of the cabinet was discontinued shortly afterwards.

Need to breath some life back into this thread. Latest Brundage Weird Tales acquisitions/upgrades and pic of my WT cabinet:

One of my fave Brundage Covers from my collection

That is a secret

This was purchased at a lawn sale in Northern Ontario about 7 years ago. I had purchased it from the fellow that found it at the lawn sale and had it restored to its former glory: NOTE: there were HUNDREDS of GA comics that he purchased from that lawn and I bought ALL of the books from him. My profit from reselling the rest of the GA not only paid for the MM Annual, including resto, but I also pocketed about a grand on top of that. Thank heavens for lawn sales.
