I tend to recall instructions on how to build a secret passageway to hide where you have comics stashed haha, and a how to video was posted in this thread when I joined in 2016. This year especially, if not any others, it's fun to count you're blessings and keep a good attitude. Just a great thread! The thought of a secret passage sounds incredibly cool. Sadly my 100+ year old house doesn’t really have the square footage to make that viable. I don’t have a comic room so much as a comic corner. Maybe once the kids move out?

Lol ya maybe ha, used to be that houses had good spots under the stairs, but I don't have a basement nor a 2nd floor. My house is 75 years old, and I have some big closets but would probably update a lot of other things before putting levers and hinges Edited November 23, 2020 by ADAMANTIUM Be that piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I like the secret passage thing. I could definitely put a fake bookcase as the doorway. piper and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need more closet space for another CGC box or two. I downsized my collection about five years ago. I currently have 5 CGC boxes and 1 long box.

How do you organize your comics in those filing cabinets? Do you put them in hanging folders? Are the books lying sideways? Its a great idea - just trying to visualize how you have them organized in those cabinets. BTW - you need more magnets on those cabinets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comics sit on the bottom of the drawer, see below (you need to make sure you have the foolscap width drawers, not A4 which are too thin) . Magnets, I could, but I like the clean look of my matching cabinets.
