Displaying non cgc comic

[Davenport]

Scan your comic,and frame the printed scan.Leaving your prized comic safe from the elements. (thumbs u

 

This is the answer you seek. Nobody knows the difference and your comic stays safe.

 

Plus there are plenty of large comic cover posters on the market, around $5.95 and up. AF15, TOS39, Superman 233, and on and on. Type "comic book cover poster" into Google and hit "shopping" to see the wide variety out there.

 

Here's a weird DC covers "montage" poster ($6.97):

I built this display thing to hang on the wall and I rotate through some of my favorite's. (It's not as crooked as it looks - just had to get an angle that wouldn't reflect the glare!)

I've never understood this ... I mean, if you're displaying your collection, why not display the actual books? Anybody can download a scan from the internet, frame it and pretend they own that particular book ... :shrug:

What would be the motivation to frame a scan of a comic you don't own in your own home,and pretend you do own it.Makes no sense.

 

Bragging rights? Much like adding a book to your Registry set that you don't own, so you can be #1 in a particular category? I'm not saying it's common, but it does happen.

 

If you own a nice piece of OA, would you print out a copy and put that on the wall instead of the original?

 

Yes I do own OA, main reason for putting copies right now in frame is he expense of doing it correct right now. This includes museum mat, uv glass, frame large enough to hold OA & page from comic or in some cases a CGC slab of a cover as well as metal labeling. Also need to find a way to light the frame, maybe battery operated led lights? Got some estimates right now & they want $250 a pop for a frame done right. Half tempted to go buy the tools myself to frame.

 

You should - I frame everything myself and have paid for the tools many times over already. I buy archival-safe mats in bulk from Blick, empty frames from Graphik Dimensions and pick up museum glass from my local Hobby Lobby.

Also found some frames to hold CGC slabs so I can change them with with my collection

Gotta find a way to frame a book though maybe ill copy the page & frame it

Got this magazine stand from a Borders Bookstore before they closed down. Rotate my Silver Age Spideys and sketch covers for display. When we have friends over for cook outs or football it's def something that people gravitate towards.
