Thanks guys! :x The LCS did offer them for free, as there were 2, but when I called for dimensions omw in a jeep, they were like it'll never fit lol 

I tried to get a truck but it wasn't running up to snuff, so when I actually did show up in a jeep, they at least let me fasten "ONE" to the rack on top and I made it home at lunch.

Then on facebook they were still advertising the other, which I wanted, but after setting this up last night, it is rather large for the space :eek: Still can't beat "free" other than labor lol  :) 

5ft tall, 4 ft length, and 2 ft wide!

LCS gave it away

Very nice! Will look so pretty all filled up. A rack like that will display other paper collectibles other than just comics as well.

Looks similar to my branded 1950’s rack which I use for all kinds of stuff.

Yours is awesome 💯! The LCS mentioned using the one I got for 20 years, seems it isn't that old, and or, a fairly simple set up with modern screws and fasteners :)

Still for free it's not bad, I posted a pic with it set up and some books in it, I've slowly filled it. And thanks 🙏

I got mine at the Rose Bowl flea market. I had to wait in a guy’s booth for over an hour until he came back from shopping. I just knew if I left, it would have been gone. So glad I waited!

Not a room, just a spinner rack that's not vintage and is new. Stacked with my birthday books raw and how they would of looked on a spinner rack back in the day. Still hunting books I need and buying copies of books I've already gotten to give it that original look.

This is exactly the time period of books and type of rack that I first bought comics off as a child in the 70s.

That little corner area looks like a prime spot for it!

The funny thing is my wife thought that also and she said I could get another one for beside it 

I said no because one looks like a modern art piece.

Two would make my condo look like a comic book store 🤪

If you're asking about the new spinner rack. I got it through my lcs. They got it through Diamond distribution. Diamond doesn't have it in stock though they get it in from someone else when ordered. It cost me about $260 and my lcs let me buy it at their cost price which was nice of them. 👍

Added a new shelving unit. I think it fits in pretty well.

Yeah. When you’ve got that many books you have to keep it organized somehow.  And for me doing the organizing, boxing, and labeling is almost as much fun as finding and reading the comics.

Yeah I was asking about the spinner. Nice grab! Maybe I’ll talk to my LCS and let them keep any eye out for me.
