Thermal Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I am very envious of people's nice comic rooms. I find myself packed into a room with 10,000 comics and barely enough room to walk. Do others have this problem? I used to, but when we made our final move to Florida my wife agreed to buy a house with an extra room so I could finally set up my "space". I posted pictures previously but will update as soon as some OA gets back from the framer's shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkronck Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 not really a comic "room," but it's my room HC Wall part 1 HC Wall part 2 + Cerebus TPBs -a lil messy, but just got this bookcase. beats having GNs in floor stacks any day! My Wizard Magazine collection on the bottom, 1-100 (when it was still fantastic and actually about comic books) nearly complete (I miss you old Wizard!) -my CGC 9.8 wall. all my boxes and extra CGCs are crammed in my closet...not much to see there. believe it or not, I just sold about 2/3 of my HC collection and 100 CGCs on eBay (gotta get an engagement ring after all). just kept my fav's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how that it is. I also used to collect animation cels and sold them all to by an engagement ring almost 10 years ago. Trust me you won't miss what you sold, you could always buy it back later. Best of luck and I wish you guys a lifetime of happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there specifics you collect? Oh and most of us have had to give up something for the 'one', although luckily for me, it has not involved parting with my comics - Good Luck.

mkronck Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) thanks, I really only collect comics in CGC that 1) have an epic cover AND 2) is an issue that I really like, or from a series I really like. I've found I get bored of almost any CGC that doesn't cover both those requirements... the only two issues on that wall that I am not really into the series are the fathom and the swamp thing....both of those covers are just too beautiful, but I mean COME ON...one of them is Michael Turner after all... so most comics I collect CGC tend to be Spidey or Deadpool. I haven't asked yet... it's gonna be a "yes," believe me. Edited January 29, 2012 by mkronck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I am very envious of people's nice comic rooms. I find myself packed into a room with 10,000 comics and barely enough room to walk. Do others have this problem? My marital bliss hinges on this not becoming the state of the house and, rightly so! So, no, I am lucky enough to have enough storage around the house so as not to have to part with books. I would sell before creating tension in the relationship with my wife. If you need to create some room, ... you know my PM. Hours I could spend looking at your collection, sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself packed into a room with 10,000 comics and barely enough room to walk. Do others have this problem? Yep...looks exactly like my room... +1 - Looks just like my comic room However, mine is getting an update Organization aside, is that a raccoon by the book shelf? You really shouldn’t let him around the books. Raccoon’s have poor comic handling skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
