Wall books in a restaurant??

[Transplant]

I won't say where I saw this but I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this. Below is one of several frames. None of the others are up to the caliber of this but they're all sun faded in a bad way. I left my number with an employee for the owner. Truthfully, even if he won't sell, I want to convince him to take them out of the sun before even more damage occurs.

 

BTW, these are real books not just covers or photocopies.

Oh.....my.....

 

 

Please educate this person. Quickly.

There is a small LCS in Marlboro that does the same thing. He has his on the wall right next to a huge window. The asking prices are still the same but the colors sure are not

They can't be saved at this point. They look more like Marvel black light posters.

I know you can really see the damage to the lower level of books, but I think the top row books have escaped a little since the frame is higher than 6' up. I think they may not get as much direct sunlight for that reason.

Are any of them possibly Golden Record Reprints?

[ComicSupply]

What a tool...

 

Just tell him to buy a piece of mylar and cover the frame. Books look to be damaged so badly now that I don't think anything will really help.

[Dollarbill]

I'd like to give him a piece of my mind.

sad sad sad

[Sasha]

that is so insane

[Dollarbill]

But a seroius question..Do you think this guy realizes how much $$ he lost by doing this?? My guess is no.

Don't forget the little BA Key Marvel Spotlight 5- 1st Fireface

That's actually Ghost Rider 1.

Oh is it? Maybe if the sun left more ink left on the cover, I could read it better...

[TFL-migration]

Ohhhhhhhhh The Humanity Of It ALL !!! There is no way the owner of this pace realizes what he has/had. If he does know. Then he is crazy. But they are his book's. He could burn them. Sell them, Leave them there... Don't have to like it. But that's the way it is...

The way to tell is MS 5 is a picture frame and he is fighting bikers, while Ghost Rider 1 he is fighting cops on the cover.

I'm surprised no one has ever told him about these books...

 

Kinda makes you wonder

And this is supposedly only one of many/several panels...(?)...OK Transplant...time to spill the beans...inquiring minds must know!!!

 

Better yet...offer to hook the guy up with FedoraMan...trade out the real books for minty-fresh replicas...no different than hiring a contractor or interior decorator for an interior facelift...
