GI Joe and Star Wars!!!  :luhv:

I love that GI Joe 26 collage thing. (thumbsu

Thanks! I have #24 as well. I got them from https://codakhromecomicshop.com/

Tobias is a great dude who really has a talent for making these. Pics don’t do them justice, they really pop out. I actually snagged the 24 at a show and then the following year commissioned #26. I just supplied the book and put post-it’s on the panels I wanted in the collage.

For those of you interested - I started a webpage for my digital restorations, showing before & after images.

https://www.metropolisplus.com/ComicRackSigns/

I loved doing this project because it's pretty much like occupational therapy for me. Very peaceful.

All of the images are reduced from extremely large files, which I store uncompressed for my future use (if I can ever get hold of any version of my favorite comic rack). 

If anyone would like to use any of my original files for reproduction purposes (you can get an online service like VistaPrint or a local printer to screenprint on sheet metal), I'm happy to share my work.

Pax, harmonia,

Brian G. Philbin

PS - My favorite comic rack:

Are these yours? Those could be restored with a bit of elbow grease.

Not mine, I ran across them in another group. They are in Westville Illinois, owner doesn't want to ship them so I am looking into shipping options.

What a cool find! I have a different version of the Dell one. Would love an Archie one to go with it.

Thanks, I thought they were super cool. Long road trip for me though.

I don’t blame him. Depending on the price and how far away you are from there, I would consider looking into a local trucking service. You will never find those again.

I got a price on them that is very fair and they are cleaning one up to see what they look like without interfering with painting them. Now I have to figure out a shipping option as they don't really want to ship.

 Huge thanks to @ArchieComicsMan we were able to secure 3 of these racks. That is what is so great about this community, collectors looking out for each other.

 I was going to be able to buy them but shipping was going to be a headache. Derek was heading in the vicinity and we worked out getting three of them picked up today. The guy that had them cleaned them up to show me how they would look and the pictures show they cleaned up pretty nice.

Oh they are metal? With the dirt, I originally maybe thought wood, but that worked out!

They made it. After I get settled in I plan to have a larger display room in this house.
