thedude Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) hello all, I was inspired by this recent thread from a new forum member, Click here where several group shots of collections are posted, I really enjoy seeing a persons collection all in one shot like this, to me it's like seeing a booth setup at a convention. so I thought I'd post my "group shot" of my Golden Age stuff that I have so far, it's small, but growing...some are CGC some are PGX and some are ungraded, I'd love to see others group shots of their GA books. and if you don't have one, go line 'em up and take a pic.

johnenock Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 That Supes 14 is awesome. A new favorite -c of mine. The rest aren't too shabby either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I don't have group photos, but I'd really like to! I'll try to remedy that. My GA collection has a bit more breadth...I would probably need to do one photo each for DC, Fox, MLJ, Schomburg covers & LB Cole covers...but the average grade of my GA collection is much lower than yours, with almost none of my pre-'45 books grading out to 4.0 or better. As with Near Mint's collection, I'm very impressed with both the eye appeal and the technical grades of the books you're posting. Great stuff!

Durden08 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You're right, a group shot with all your books together looks very impressive. You've certainly got some great books, as there's no week links in the lot. I'll try and get some group pics as well sometime soon. Just be careful with all your books lined up on the floor. I can imagine my nephew walking by with a soda, tripping, then taking out all my books in one fall swoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff! yeah, my collection is small compared to yours and others on these boards, but I'm moving along at a reasonable speed, except for the Action #44, all of my GA books I've purchased just since August of last year,..sort of a late bloomer,..I can't remember who exactly, Batfan or one of the Batman collectors has a group shot of his Batmans 1-11 with himself in the pic, that's an awesome pic.. hope he sees this thread and posts it here..

adamstrange Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Great collages! There's nothing like a wall of comics so I built my own comics rack. Here's a pick from a Good Girl Art session where put together books from 3 different collections to try and create full runs of Fox good girl comics. The new rack that I built since then is 8' x 8' and holds about 100 comics. Forbush-Man and jimbo_7071 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 ft88 & adamstrange: amazing pics! Congrats on those runs! They weren't all mine. The majority were from a collector of lower grade books.
