xvipah Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 I thought about just using the command strip directly on the slab, but I decided I didn't want to put adhesive on them. So, I took a look at a combo of what some of you folks said. I think I like it, still some work to be done, but it looks good in general. Just have to find the raw's I actually want to display. and get a few more shelves, etc... Roo_Phillip and Fisionbomb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExNihilo Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 When it's done, be sure to show it off in the "Got a Comic Room" thread. Got a comic room???

xvipah Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Better pic, during the day... Still need another set of shelves, some of those books need to be moved to Mylar, and then I need to figure out what other slabs and raws I might want to display.

The link is for the stand, but there is a separate one that can be hung.) Triple Comic Book Frame with Classic Moulding | Perfect Cases, Inc. (I was only specifically looking at hanging 3 books, but there are other frames for hanging 2 or 4 books.) But, if I'm honest, this seems to be the most contemporary looking case and is probably what I am leaning towards: UV-FLEX Display Case | CGC/CBCS/PGX Slab Frame | UV-Protected Acrylic (crafticomics.com) Ooh thanks for these links. Ive been looking for some UV protective cases for slabs. Downstairs where the sun light isnt so bad Ive used those holders fission bomb linked.

xvipah Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I like those holders fisionbomb linked. That's what's holding the 2 books to the left of the poster. I got a pack of 5 so I'll use them up and see if it's the only solution I want to use going forward or not. 10 hours ago, Mirkinator said: Ooh thanks for these links.

I purchased a few of these a few months back and used for my key issues in a display case. Works fine as I save my wall space for prints, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I would think command strips on CGC mylar bag would be a pretty decent hold. I have tried the Comic Mount by CollectorMount and I am not impressed myself. I would not trust it with anything of worth. If I had a good place for slabs I would likely use some sort of J channel "shelf" as an alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuterBanks Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I bought some special UV protected cases from Crafti Comics because our living area has a lot of sunlight. I’ve been happy with them - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisionbomb Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Just remembered this place I bought some frames from years ago. They are used to dealing with CGC collectibles and offer changeable frames so you can easily swap books if desired.

Devin Colman Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So it looks like I'm late to this party but I'll share anyway for future readers The cheapest option I found (going to set it up when my first order comes back) are the MOSSLANDA shelves from Ikea, it's like $15 and it's about 3.5 feet. This is the link from Ikea Canada, perhaps there is a similar product on the american site. I just found the ikea product to be a way better price than amazon. https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/mosslanda-picture-ledge-black-70292104/ There is also a variety of products to protect your slabs from UV light which is a good idea if your room gets lots of sunlight, I've never used this one so idk how it looks on your slab but I found this online: https://thecollectorsresource.com/uv-blocking-front I only have 2 slabs atm (very new to collecting slabs), so I keep them on Easel's so they aren't just propped up against walls. They were about $6 at Michael's, just make sure u get big enough and sturdy ones as you obviously don't want your slabs to fall over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
