Andy J.-migration Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Spent last weekend rearanging the comicroom, before this it was mostly stacks all over the floor. Finally I'm able to enjoy a quiet hour in the "comicbunker" w/o feeling like I'm at some tsunami recovery site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryfe1000 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Great looking room. Are those black cases Volstor boxes? I've got about 30 with my UXM collection in. They aren't widely used due to the cost but offer fantastic protection. One thing I would say though is I wouldn't be too keen on those 3/4 height brown boxes. If the room gets any light for a prolongued period, you may end up sun-bleaching the top section of each of the front books. I learned the hard way when the front issue in each of my short boxes ended up with a handhold shaped bleached oval. Simple answer, ensure the front book is boarded and face it backwards in the box, therefore light will only bleach the board, not the book. In any case - great room and a great looking collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy J.-migration Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks! I'm not too worried about bleaching these, keep the room in complete darkness unless I'm in there, but just to make sure I placed some cheap books up front : ) I'm not femiliar with Volstor boxes, but I use something that might be similar, acid free albums intended for postcard storage, each page is a thick acid free plastic bag, and I stuff those with thick mylars for extra protection. Album slides neatly into a box. Excellent protection. Sample pic Edited March 28, 2011 by Andy J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromium Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I actually changed most of the labels as I didn't like the look of some of them...now every series has a black background (or at least dark) here are some of the new labels I made : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibou Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 My gun store is also my 'man cave'. It is adorned with toys and comic book goods everywhere...surprisingly, I get a ton of comments and weirdly enough, no one dares to call me a nerd... Another shot of the grown up toys Nice gun display!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
