More like a comic "closet," which isn't only for comics (at least yet). We have a "James Bond" secret closet hidden behind a bookcase (not very hard to spot when you're looking for it. It's not quite as snug as it used to be). Open it, and the inside currently looks like this: The Thor is a Simonson convention sketch I personally got from him in 1985. The game boxes are actually all empty (lol). I've consolidated all my Dominion expansions into two carrying cases. But for some reason I can't bring myself to throw away the empty boxes. Same for the Clank, Galaxy Trucker, and other expansions. My very modest slab collection (but with room to expand!) Most of these were ones I sent in for the (cancelled) Perez signing. The others were gifts from the Christmas Exchange here on these boards. The other side is basically all Magic the Gathering cards. It's not especially well organized. I haven't really thought too much about how to better organize things. The rest of my comics are actually in a completely different closet for the moment. Bonus cat pic! Nice to hear the Christmas gift exchange is so generous! I'm curious which slab it was ? Nice to see the trap door too Nice selection and if you're thinking of more slabs, then more power to you. That's some clean looking rooms, even if you dont think they're "organized" congrats! Edited June 11, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't one slab, it was three! The three Thor's on the bottom. @comicalgems was extremely generous. I was definitely most stoked about the 9.8 Thor 339 (see: that Simonson sketch). But I also checked the census on the 9.8 Marvel Spectacular 2 for fun. Obviously that's not a high-in-demand book, but apparently there have only ever been 7 of them slabbed, and then only 2 in 9.8. So, now I've got one of the 2 highest graded CGC of that book in existence, which tickles me no end, regardless of value. onlyweaknesskryptonite, comicalgems and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sillydiabetic Posted June 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) This is my set up, a sorta workroom, sorta collectors hideaway room. You can see a stack of books tilted sideways, which is my “to-do” shelf for that press. I feel lucky to be able to have a cool place to hang out while being productive.

davebo357 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 As someone with a bunch of Kenner Star Wars figs but none on the cards, that's very much my jam. Not so much the box labelled spiders though, my wife would hate that. Sillydiabetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars dance party with a Gamorrean Guard doing head spins is the best definition of, "being productive" that I have seen in a very long, long, long time.

I don't know anything about these books ... but were they released around the same time and are they considered a set? The four books are three different sizes and seem to have nothing in common in terms of overall design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The four books are three different sizes and seem to have nothing in common in terms of overall design. These are one shots (for each Ninja Turtle). Rapheal was released 1st and is oversized like the few few issues of TMNT. It is also the first appearance of Casey Jones. The stories are not interconnected, but i think most people would consider them a set. Mike, Don and Leo are relatively inexpensive and easy to find. 1st prints released in 1985-86 Edited August 3, 2022 by Ducky13 Sweet Lou 14, JJ-4 and Krismusic 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MultiSig Mike Posted August 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2022 I've been obsessed with this geometric bookcase idea for a while now. Both ends were raised to appear one foot taller (7' with the 8' ceiling). Favorites include The Dark Knight trilogy, Thundercats, misc DC, and Indiana Jones. Sold off all of my 6" figures as they were just too small for these bookcases. Krismusic, nmtg9, ADAMANTIUM and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bird Posted August 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) pro photos for house listing, so I figured it was a good opportunity to show what my comic room looks like before I dismantle it There are again curtains on those windows, don't worry! You cannot really see individual pieces but you get a view of two Dr Strange walls and some starman pieces by the bar. No good views of the pieces in the hall after the bar though.

Been a minute since you posted that, not bad at all, looks great! Did they put anything on it to keep rust from spreading or coming back? I like the embellishment of more green and white!!
