Comic book spinner racks - who's got one?

Saw it on "Used Victoria" but the seller didn't want to ship it to me and he found a buyer before I could get a Vancouver relative lined up to pick it up.

I ended up getting a great Gold Key wood rack with the same graphics, but not quite the same pop.  See it up thread.

Have any other pics of it? Would love to see what the rest of the display rack looks like.

Just grabbed this for $110, including the books. There are 10 12 cent Marvels but in bad shape. A couple of nice BA books, including a MOKF 18.

The spinner is off, but is in the background.

Was offered $225 for this, without the comics.   Yea or Nay? Only comparable one I see on Ebay is $799,but in better shape.

BTW- inside one of the cracked magazines was a Defenders 10 in 3.5ish shape. I'm guessing someone hid it to keep the price down

Was not greggy that beat you to that Gold Key spinner rack in Victoria, as he would have asked me to drive it back to Vancouver for him and pay for the ferry fee$$. :whatev:

I believe I've tracked this rack down to: Little Island Comics in Toronto on Bathurst Street, just south of Bloor.

Thanks to Jimmers for pointing me to this thread! Picked this one up this morning at a garage sale. Has some condition issues but is overall pretty nice, and it's just for my personal collection anyway. Any thoughts on the era? The graphics make me think 80's?

Bump for the Monday morning crowd, look at my rack!

(BTW, read this entire thread, plus the older thread linked therein, and haven't seen this model so far. But tons of great reading here!)

I don't recall seeing that in the 80s.  I'm thinking 90s to 00s.

Great, thanks guys! I hadn't seen that specific one around here before, so I had a hard time pinning it down. Input is much appreciated!

Been looking for a spinner rack for a while, had to pay up a little but have one ready to fill. The other stand is displaying all Dec 73 titles, with some other titles mixed in from time to time. Not sure on the theme on the spinner yet.

Nice racks! Great selections of books for both too! (thumbsu

I picked this spinner rack up recently. I'm very happy with it as it was a bargain, but it's missing the stand.

Are there any modern easy to find spinners that have a stand that will work with this?

Or maybe I can make a stand?  Does anyone have this rack and know the dimensions of the stand?

Thanks.

Awesome racks, especially the two column.  I've bought and sold a few of these.  They seem to be a little harder to find than the spinners.
