Waylander Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hey One and All, As promised, if this works, here is my 'Man Cave'... Here’s an overview of my humble collection: I have over 11,500 comics – and only one is slabbed. My collection includes such delights as X-Men 1 – 10, X-Men 94, and GS 1, ASM 50, ASM 129, Hulk 181, Daredevil 1, Marvel Premier 15, Iron Fist 14 and Dark Knight Returns original signed hardcover GN to name a few. I do have around 99% of my comics listed on excel, but the comics are filed randomly in the boxes – this, when I have time, will be corrected so I can actually find stuff. There are 45 lithographs and posters, a highlight being a Battle of the Planets lithograph signed and remarked by Alex Ross – limited to 12 I have about 25 statues and 50 busts (all boxed) mainly Bowen Designs There are action figures hidden one of the large boxes and some on shelving I own three pieces of original art work, again not on display My other ‘vice’ is collecting David Gemmell books and I have all his hardback books 1st printings, many signed. These are tucked away in another room. My aim is to get a larger room, so I can display my ‘stuff’ (as my wife calls my collection), but I am just happy with what I have – or rather that’s all the space she will let me have. Cheers, Oh, and I will try and donwload some samples of my comics Nice looking collection, very sweet. Gemmell is wonderful, my fav. Fantasy writer. Hey Humantorch, I have to say, since Gemmell passed away, there has been a lack of quality out there - I have moved on to reading Simon Scarrow's Eagle series which is pretty cool. And thank for your commets re: my Man Cave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I picked up some magazine boxes from the Office Depo and started working on putting comics on the shelves. Looking good brother. Thanks. Those look both, cool and practical. (thumbs u Thanks, I got the idea from Oakman29 Theicheaply cheap, well 6/15.00 and each box holds 35-40...I use Mylite 2's. So you can probably fit more using thinner bags. Anyhow, I'm thinking about generating some tags for each box once I get everything all ironed out. Well I ran out of boxes but here is what I got so far... I like this concept, unfortunately, as I keep saying I do not have the room and if (which seems likely) we may move soon, then I will need the boxes. But if I have more room in my next place then this idea may be pirated - Waylander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waylander Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Love the room Waylander. Thank you, (thumbs u but just need some more space to display stuff Looks like you have some pretty serious "stuff" and I see you get your boxes from Justin Ebbs. I will have to be honest, I just put the order into Comicana Direct for boxes and they send them out boxes, so I have a mixture - I do like the Ebb ones they do seem more sturdy. And I have stuck to the shorter boxes to save my back Waylander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
