Easy and cheap way to hang your graded comic book 2 2

[gadzukes]

I remember a guy name Nicolas Cage who displayed his Action Comics number 1 on the wall.....

Surely nothing could go wrong.

Do comics really fade if they are not in direct sunlight?

Yes.

If one thinks that their comics are safe just because their blinds are shut, then they're being ignorant.

I have some on the wall. I enjoy looking at them. Now they aren't thousand dollar books and there is zero direct sun light. The only expensive book I have showing is framed behind museum quality UV protected glass. That one has been up for years and I haven't noticed any hint at fading.

We used to link to pre-made Animated GIFS and response videos.... but now we have sites where we can put our custom messages on top of the GIF or video.

Not with this particular video in mind... but a video showing how to put together a long box would have been much more helpful than a diagram that looked like it was from IKEA many years ago.

That kind of material will likely keep the book looking the same for the entirety of your ownership. Not sure if it would fit the "easy and cheap" method that the OP is going for, though.

Not really. Depends on the conditions of the room, how long the comics are in the light and what kind of lighting there is.

I've had stuff on my walls for years with no indication of sun fade, but laugh it up, chuckles.

I have thought this same sentence before... 

 

Although I replaced the word comics with hooker...

I don't think they are necessarily trying to be rude (though I didn't read all the comments, maybe some are). But there is an unfortunate down side to displaying your comics.  I wouldn't take it personal, just sharing information. 

Anyway, I liked your YouTube channel! Good luck with your collecting. 

[onlyweaknesskryptonite]

I will be honest.  When I first saw the title I expected something like this. 

but actually those don't look too bad. As others have suggested though I wouldn't really put high value items in them, but they look like they would make a decent display.  Good luck with the channel.

 how about uv protective frame?

I'd like a photo of Joey to hang on my wall. 

I mean, who wouldn't?!
