Spinner Racks for Slabs? 1 1

[s-man]

It looks cool and I would buy one if it was $100 less or came with a free Stan Lee sig book!

That's not much more than I paid for a Marvel spinner rack in 1986. I don't know if distributors gave them away in the 60s, but by the time I opened a distributor account, they were a thing of the past.

Wonder how many will be sold at that price 

[Artboy99]

I am tempted to be honest. 36 pockets x2 spinners = 72 pockets. There are 73 comics in the Planet Comics run I own… damn tempting.

The thing is I already own 2 spinners one of which I bent to hold slabs.

The shipping killed me. With exchange $200 to Canada!

If they fit slabs, that probably means that it'll also fit GA books.  Spinner racks for the older books are not too plentiful.

Shipping will probably be the single most item that will turn people away from this.

It's funny, the price collectors are willing to pay for an individual issue that used to retail for $0.10 and then the cost to have it graded and put in it's individual slab/case makes the cost of these spinner racks seem reasonable to me.  But hey, to each his own.

The staff at CGC definitely needs to scale back on their Friday "coke" brainstorming sessions.

The three year old that lives in my house would take that CGC spinner rack and turn it into a CGC carousel.

And the books would fly off like prizes. Really, this is a win win.

Got excited when I first saw the advertisement for the spinner rack until seeing this on $132.72 on Amazon:

One of the “selling points” is that it doesn’t squeak.  BOOOOOOO!  That’s the best part of a spinner.  

[Robot Man]

Seems pretty pricey between the cost and shipping to me. And, it’s a “repro” with no squeak. I have owned several over the years and they were cool until I found this. I paid, I think $400. For it. Much more versitile and handles most any type of paper item you want to display.

Too bad it's a Dell.

Hey, “Dell Comics are good Comics” can’t you read? 

At least it is vintage and not a “repro”. I display all kinds of comics and paper items in it. Right now, it is full of GA 4th of July comics. 

I would rather have the DC version I’ve seen of this rack but never had an opportunity to buy I’ve. 

And for the most part, I’m only slightly a bigger fan of most DCs than Dell...

Looks like if one side got over-loaded the whole rack would tip over. 

Ya don't say

I greatly dislike Dell Comics. My Mom thought they were educational, as opposed to Marvels.

Seems odd to me that anyone into slabbing comics and are so concerned about grades would want them sitting out in the open possibly getting faded. I don't even care about grades, will never have anything graded or slabbed and I never would have comics sitting out to get faded possibly.

Agree. Perhaps CGC will come out with slabs made with the same protective material that’s used for framed movie posters?
