spidrvacc Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I used to have 1000 comics. Sold most (about 500 ) on ebay a few years ago. I never took my comics with me when i moved from my parents house to my first house and then my current house due to not having much space to store comics at the time. The basement was undone and took water (Finished it and had a french drain put in a few years ago) and my son was 1 at the time and was into tearing things apart so just kept them at my parents and thats where they still sit mostly. Got a small box here and one day when I am sure my son will not destroy them I will retrieve them. Not a ton , its just about 500 books. I did scan all 500 into my PC a few years ago and have photos of every book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Those manual hockey games are great. We had one when I was a kid and my brothers and I played it to death, doing play-by-play commentating all the while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidrvacc Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 That maiden poster I had a s a teenager and when I got my pool table I remembered it (The band around a pool table) and went out and looked for it and found it on ebay. Perfect poster for a pool room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin.J Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have seen some great rooms on here and finally got time to take a few photos of mine. Years ago it used to be all prettied up, but now it is purely functional due to my collection getting seriously out of hand in size. I have 21 filing cabinets in all. You can get approx 600 comics per drawer. I think that they are best as I can get to most of my collection (SA & BA anyway) in minutes. I still have lots of overspill into other rooms, loft and the garage in long boxes. I need a bigger house. I don't want to fill out this thread with photos of comics, but I will pull some out if someone posts a link where to show them....and anyone wants to see.

Awesome AF 15 and Hulk 1. What's the picture above your slabbed books - the black and white one? Edit - WOW, just did the math - that nearly 50,000 comics!

Whizzer Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 KevinJ, that room is something else. I assume it's on the ground floor as the weight must be huge? Great collection though. And Waylander, what you actually did was the mathS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put from about 1980 onwards and whatever I was complete with into boxes as I didn't need the access. There nothing worse than filling a gap and having to move 25 boxes to put it in place. Best thing I ever did was get the cabinets, full access. The picture is Batman / Vampirella. The room used to have lots of OA on the walls but its all kept in a case now as not much wall space left.
