Thanks - what I thought but just curious if they recycled the ad in subsequent years and kept the images. Great pics and info - thanks again for sharing and posting.

One spinner rack, one 15 pocket wall rack and one 18 (?) pocket rack that leaned against a wall. New classics illustrated rack topper I just picked up. There's another on eBay for $100. Have you seen it before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have four old comics racks- two "Hey Kids" spinner racks (a 4-sided and 5-sided), and a "Hey Kids" flat rack, but my favorite is a Marvel Comics rack that I recently found. I thought the people following this post might like to see it. Not a GA rack, but since you posted the Marvel racks I thought I'd put up these two new Marvel rack toppers I've seen. The first I just picked up and goes on a wire rack with three slots across: The second is a mystery to me. It's slightly bigger than the topper nnaid posted above (the lower topper in the picture below). Nnaid's topper fits on a wire rack with two rows across. This new one is slightly wider and a slightly different design: Also, a while back, Hake's sold a rack topper with the same graphic as my new piece: Edited November 12, 2018 by sfcityduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for comic books but for Little Golden Books. 1950's era hanging wall rack. Thought it was real unusual when I spotted it at the Alameda Antique Flea Market one Sunday morning. Thought you might enjoy seeing this: Robot Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM, Thought you might like to see this beat up old Dell rack I picked up a year ago. I think I'm going to gently restore this one: Edited November 12, 2018 by sfcityduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcityduck Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Also not a GA rack, but this thing is unique enough that it deserves being saved for posterity - a classic easy to find red/white/blue "Hey Kids" rack, BUT this one has one of its four sides devoted to Spire Christian Comics (and that's clearly original): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't kidding that is for the "advanced collector." It is super cool though. Edited December 18, 2018 by ender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Anyone want to guess what it would take to really purchase it? I have admired some of these but never bought any. Would this be one of the higher priced ones? Edited December 18, 2018 by ender add to idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Adventure 21 was out November 1937 and More-Fun was out Jan 1938 so the comics do have different years that would not be out at same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the rack is complete ( most of these are missing all the signs on each pocket ) the price of $10,000 may not be out to lunch. ender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Speed and Green Hornet Comics one years ago and foolishly sold it. I used to wear it to shows that I sold at. What was I thinking???
