Shark Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 With my company closing in a couple of months, we had a silent auction at work yesterday. I was able to pick up 19 pieces (Four 10-drawer file cabinets, Five 5-drawer file cabinets, Six 4-drawer file cabinets, 2 shelving units and 2 drawer units) for $118.00. Add the cost of a U-Haul cargo van and I spent only $200 for the entire lot. I've taken before pictures of the comic room and I'm in the process of cleaning and spray painting most of the file cabinets. Once I'm done with the remake of the room I'll post the before and after pictures. (thumbs u Update - one shelving unit is in place. Stereo on top with comic price guides, TPB's and Treasury Editions down below. One drawer unit is in place with backing boards & sleeves and miscellaneous packing materials in it. The 5-drawer legal size file cabinets are assembled in the middle of the room with the foamboard dividers now in place. It will be nice once I get these filled with comics. Well, the makeover isn't near as nice as some of these other rooms I've seen, and it's not quite complete yet, but I thought I'd show progress pictures of my comic room. It ended up that the 10-drawer file cabinets were just too damned heavy to haul upstairs so they stayed in the garage for other storage. I ended up using the five 5-drawer file cabinets in the center of the room for storage of most of my main collection. Main collection area (before) Main collection area (after) I still have some reshuffling and drawer labeling to do but it's much more organized than before...and much easier to get to the comics on bottom. The rest of the main collection and the "comics to submit to CGC" are in 4-drawer file cabinets along one wall (see below). Packing supplies area (before) Packing supplies area (after) CGC slab storage (before) CGC slab storage (after) Stereo, Overstreet guides, TPB's, etc. (before) Stereo, Overstreet guides, TPB's, etc. (after) And a couple of extra pics of posters and superhero figures: Still a progress in work but much more organized than before. That room is crammed full plus all of the DC comics are stored in an adjacent room. In addition to that all of my duplicate Marvel and DC comics along with about 8 long boxes of comics still to grade are in the basement on 2 long tables. At least all of the comics are out of the living room and kitchen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGGIEZ Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A short tour of my dork den. Notice the conspicuous absence of almost everthing comic related other than Ryan's fantastic recreation of Thrilling Crime 49. LOOOOOVE the RyanH repro!!! I can't wait to get my Startling Comics #49!!!!!! PLUS, I'm about to buy a new place. One of the "must haves" is enough room for my very one Dork Den! Gotta fly the flag and it looks like I'll get to soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Joe Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 firstly at the comic room above, Mine is a serious work in progress. Unfortunately we need to redo the boiler in the basement before my whole room can be made BUT for the moment I am planning and here are some of the first things that will be going on the wall. Hi Res scans of my actual book (100MB), taken to Kinkos, made into a 3 x 2 foot poster with a backing (about 75$ each). They came out better than I had hoped, getting three more made today. I think they are fantastic. Obviously my Gi Combat (6.0) and WWbN (9.6) Will post others when made. (Hulk Annual 1, Submariner 34, Nick Fury 11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Man daybeds and magenta futons... Sounds like somebody's better half is not so much allowing a comic room as comprimising on the decor of the guest room. I can't talk, though. If we get pregnant, my Comicland is history. Great spaces, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great spaces, folks. Each and every conceived decision, ill or otherwise, was made by me, for me. And it's odd that I have to explain this on a board full of OCD nerds, but I'm quite the Smaug, laying attop my loot pile, snoring the sleep of the greedy and content. hrmmmmmmmmzzzzzzz, I smell a Hobbit.

Doc Joe Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 So these cost $75(thats SEVENTY FIVE BUCKS) each? something like that, you get a discount for more of them. This sort of came about from a poster I saw at the Chicago show. A company just got the license to make these huge poster with Marvel covers, only problem 800 cheeseburgers (assuming you pick from the dollar menu). No way says I. It was the Cap A 100 cover. I am waiting for mine to return to do that one, should be a 9.6. Anyway they are great. Going to do some smaller Four Color covers for the kids. For the record Max likes the Subbie cover.

Doc Joe Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I got the 24 x 36 inch size http://fedex.com/us/office/marketing/signsbanners/posters/packages.html?lid=Learnmore_posters_packages I did a high res scan (about 100MB) through the slab. Took it into Kinkos on a USB drive. They do a proof first to show a you what a small section will look like. Then if you like it they make the poster. I had them trim any white edges off, they did a good job of that. Then its a gloss solid board that looks amazing. I think its a tad boring to get the classic covers (do we really need a spidey 1 print? no) , so I did ones I really like that look different from the standard posters. post them here if you get some made, good luck Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
