sfcityduck Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 And someone got a great deal on this early 50s rack. About twice as much as I paid for mine, but half as much as the lowest price I'd sell mine for: Supernerd, Larryw7, Primetime and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcityduck Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 But the best deal of all might have been this incredibly cool 1960s DC rack (forgive the venture into the SA): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early 50s DC spinner was a steal at $400. Late 60s DC three-wide rack topper was another steal at $175 (kicking myself for missing that).

The Classics wrack was higher than some sold at Hakes and lower than others. The others definitely seemed cheap to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find it on eBay: hi: I have this rack but it doesn't have anything that indicates where it was made. Did you ever find out any information on where made?

Popular Post buddy2 Posted October 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2020 There are some great comic racks in this thread. Thanks for sharing. While the ones I have are a little newer than Golden Age. I thought people interested in Comic Racks might appreciate my Whitman Rack/Marvel Rack (with original Box).

sfcityduck Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not Golden Age, but a cool more modern CCA rack is worth noting anyway. The actual wire and tube rack structure dates back to the mid-1960s, but the signage looks a little more modern than that to me: buddy2, badback83 and MAR1979 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rack is a publisher specific - Store Publishing - rack from 1953. Never heard of the publisher, the comics, or the concept that there were six cent comics. This is why I love these boards!

catman76 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 They also had 7 cent versions in 1955. The 1955 ones are all ACG reprints from Ha Ha and Giggle comics but ACG is mentioned nowhere, just Modern Store Publications. The 6 cent 1953 ones are all Eastern Color/Famous Funnies reprints and the publisher is listed as Food Store Publications. They probably were sold in grocery stores I am guessing sfcityduck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Nationwide counter rack that's kind of the same except it's made out of cardboard. I've only seen one that I got out bid on a couple years ago. It's for the 4 Nationwide 5 cent Digest titles. sfcityduck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy2 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I hope its ok to ask this question here related to a rack I have that "may" be a counter comic rack. It is approximately 28" Tall and sits flat on a counter. It doesn't have indications (broken weld, etc.) of being part of a larger rack. Does anyone know if this is a counter rack or just part of a full rack? I was told it was a counter rack but with all your great knowledge on this board I though I would ask to make sure.

Thanks for any help/advice I’m far from an expert but seeing the cross wires at the bottom where they intersect makes me think that’s where the pole for a spinner rack would go. At least it matches my spinner rack. Either this is a tabletop spinner (without base), or someone chopped this down to size. My Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need a base for it to be complete: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
