PT Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks fine, being Wiltshire have you done Melksham comic con Hi,Yes went a few months ago. Was good fun, bit disappointed in the lack comic sellers with anything silver or golden age, mostly just bronze and modern. Nice to see a few folks dressed up though in the spirit of things.

Ducky13 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 10 wall books and 2 original art pages. A commissioned Avengers #223 by Greg LaRocque and Star Trek TNG The Space Between incentive cover by Zach Howard. I love your taste in comic books! Thanks, I have some other copper/modern books I rotate out since I am limited to 10, nothing spectacular like action 1, superman 1, but books I own, enjoy and can afford. What did you use for the shelves/top? It looks as tho you've got something in front of the slabs, like glass/plexy/? I got 2 pieces of trim molding from home depot that was already notched 1/4", inverted the top one and painted to match. The books are in individual mill cases (like CD cases for comics) so I can change them out. Works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THB Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I picked these up from a closing Newsstand (who knew any were still around?) in town and set them up in my shipping and packing room for my online sales......... I had trouble putting bagged comics in the rack so I decided to put TPB's and they fit perfectly!! I just threw stuff that was laying around the room on the magazine rack (they had 2 of these and the best part is they were free!) but will probably use it for slabs I want to keep. I was thinking of putting removable casters on the bottom and using them to set up at local shows next year. And yes I have a blue room. Love the magazine racks! Looks good Thanks!

Captain Canuck Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Anyone see the BAT CAVE Room on tonight's Comic Book Men? Here are some of photos of the Bat Cave that cost him $150,000 and 2.5 years to build. As well, a link to a video tour of the Bat Cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well it's not a comic room yet, but I will be hanging some of my favourite comics soon. First bit of the process, put them in frames: These are just clip frames at the minute, I may upgrade later. Anyone ever have any problems hanging books like this? I can't see there would be any more pressure on the comics than if they were in a stack? Cheers Or you could scan the books and make a copy of the covers on your printer and safely store your books in a comic box. But what do I know?

I can't understand using the actual comic,it's just damaging the book. This is one of the reasons I spent a little extra on a large format 3-in-1 printer (not terribly large, but 13x19). I can print them out at two to three times the original size if I care to. It's good for scanning and printing most original art for display as well.

Some of you guys can have right ***** attitude to others sometimes. How about a sensible reply like 'That may damage the spines of the book because of the pressure of a clip frame, you could always use a scan to preserve the book itself' rather than all this 'But what do I know' and 'Amen to that' .

Don't get wound up about it, mate. It's just the way that some people speak around here and I don't believe they were intending to be sarcky. If you read the boards much, you'll see loads of these kinds of comments with no offense intended. Personally, I'd rather display scans of books than risk any damage to great Silver Age books like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
