BlowUpTheMoon Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Wow. Is that suppose to be a showcase room?! Looks like a frat boy's bedroom. Where's the neon beer sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit MIke Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Cap_FFreak's pin-up collection is pretty cool. I remember getting my hands on a coverless #3 when I was his age. It had a great Human Torch pin-up and the first FF letters page... all that for 25 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gernblanston Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 My boxes are half as many as that and look like some of those older ones you have there. I just have a bunch of old comic books from the 1970's from my childhood in mine. They probably aren't worth anything. I'll probably just throw them out when I get around to it.

Silver Surfer Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 At least 3 rows deep x 7 high x 5 long boxes per section x at least 3 shelves is what 315+ long boxes. How many books can you fit in a long box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc120us Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 At least 3 rows deep x 7 high x 5 long boxes per section x at least 3 shelves is what 315+ long boxes. How many books can you fit in a long box? I think a better question is is that room (warehouse) climate controlled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many books can you fit in a long box? I think a better question is is that room (warehouse) climate controlled? That's the first thing that popped in my head. But it's nothing a large AC unit couldn't handle so as long as there's something, then you're ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Any more if I have more then 4 half boxes I start to feel twitchy. If I had that many, I'd be hanging by the neck over the edge of a bridge! Edited August 17, 2007 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetteon Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I agree with you shiverbones. I have expand my collection to about 10 boxes and I keep looking for stuff to sell to keep it manageable. But regardless, it sure would be fun to go diving into a collection that big. Think of all the hiding treasures you'd fine. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknight Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 John, you are truly a comic nerd and a wierdo comic collector fanatic. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxstuf Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Wow how many books in your collection. Lots of GA stuff? I do not know for sure, inventorying was one of the reasons for building these shelves. I still need about 5 more. Not as much Golden Age as I wish could be there, but some, nothing like Bangzoom...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxstuf Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That is your collection? Yes, but not all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxstuf Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 At least 3 rows deep x 7 high x 5 long boxes per section x at least 3 shelves is what 315+ long boxes. How many books can you fit in a long box? Actually there are 5 sections on each unit. Each will hold 5 long boxes or 10 short boxes. Times 7 high, times 3 units at the moment. So it is 5 x 5 x 7 per unit or 175 long or 350 short boxes. Spent most of the summer on the other 2 rooms which hold my other books and building the 16' x 24' Comic office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
