Yes, the "Action #1" of comic racks for sure. He has had it on ebay and other venues for sale several times. It just takes the right buyer...

I’m looking forward to seeing it. I’d like to find the old lady a Dell rack as she primarily collects 40’s LTMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really excited to own this particular rack because it was the rack at the Tower Theatre drug store in Sacramento, a store that my mother frequented when she was a kid, so she likely bought a comic off this rack. The seller had put it up on eBay a few years ago, but took it down. On a flyer, I sent him an email to see if he still had it, he did, and now its' winging its way to me. badback83, Readcomix and ender 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcityduck Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Couple new racks I hadn't seen before that hit the market recently. First a combo DC/Marvel rack: Second, a combo Superman/Batman rack (two sided): badback83 and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sfcityduck Posted January 26, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2019 My newest rack - the Dell 1948 wire rack. It's a bit beat up, more of an American Pickers quality than what I usually seek out. But this one came from a location in Sacramento that my Mom was going to in 1948. So I thought it was more than worth picking up. MAR1979, Jayman, Readcomix and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfcityduck Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'd seen this cool Gold Key rack topper on its own before, but never seen it attached to a rack. Now I understand why. It was a rack pack rack: badback83, Badger and batman_fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago Heritage auctioned a promotional piece on All American Comics. I wonder what other ephemera exists out there that people might collect related to the industry. Too bad DC or Dell never had a comic mobile; that would be something to own!! Edited March 14, 2019 by 50YrsCollctngCmcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcityduck Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Someone got a cool beat up early early GA DC rack at Hake's yesterday: And someone also picked up a nice looking wood Dell rack. I almost bid, but I've got the same model wood rack for Gold Key and a metal GA rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my catalog out and watched these and some of the GA books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
