comicwiz Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Anyone in Arizona looking for one... http://arizona.thecollectibleshopper.com/collectibles/vintage-comic-book-rack-amp-comics.html Finding one of this in Calgary is awful. I was able to find a couple decent ones in Montreal, but no one seems to like to ship. That's cool! I have the standalone version of this spinner, and if this wasn't so far from where I live, I'd make an offer on it. The standalone of this particular rack is one of the coolest standalone's. The ho-hum graphics on the topper is overcompensated by its function, as the two row, twenty pocket standard on the standalone version of this rack has side pockets for digests. I use it for Archie's and Harvey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genrlzod Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well after reading this I did a craigslist search and found a magazine spinner for $50. Says it holds 8.5x11 paper or magazines. How does that sound? Looks modern and plain in the pic. Sounds like that would hold GA size books, are you sure it's a modern rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any extras kicking around pm me Thanks Greg I keep an eye out for these and finally came into one last year. I can offer an opinion on what can be done with yours if you post a picture, as the design and seating of a topper can be a little more complicated than it might seem. In my case, luckily the topper I bought fit on one of the six racks I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicksCosmiComics Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Here's the spinner rack can't really see the top. But its just square i am crafty enough to get something to fit. If I really had to i have a buddy who welds [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I really had to i have a buddy who welds [/img] Looks great! It doesn't look like you'll have any problems mounting a topper on yours, but to attach it properly, you may need to do some welding. The toppers have some weight to them, and the last thing you want is for it to drop on the books and scratch or crack a slab. For your particular rack, the 4-sided "Comics" rack showing Archie, Richie Rich, Spider-Man and Superman on the tin is the best match, as the metal wiring on this type is usually black just like your rack. May take awhile to find, but that's the way I'd go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambfan68 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 It doesn't spin, but here is a picture of the rack I picked up a few years back for $20. Right now it is in my daughter's playroom and holding her comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it is in my daughter's playroom and holding her comics. That's the standalone variation to the HEY!! KIDS COMICS spinner that has been pictured in this thread. The "Best in Comics" signage used on the standalone is just one of the 5 slogans used on the topper for the pentagon shaped spinner version. I have the exact same one as yours. As cool as the spinners are, the standalones are much more difficult to find, and I have a real soft spot for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell F Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Picked this up today from a friend who also owns a small comic shop. Picture sucks because it is in the storage room in the basement until I can get it cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture sucks because it is in the storage room in the basement until I can get it cleaned up. I have one of those as well. Is there a topper of any sort on yours? Mine doesn't have one, but I can't tell if it is supposed to have one or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
