Cyclops Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Wanted to post a couple pics of my comic "gallery." It's a 10'x10' room in my home with gray painted walls and white molding. I'm a big fan of DC: Batman, Harley Quinn, Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. A lot of Neal Adams for Neal Adams month I also like The Walking Dead by Image. The room has custom-built "floating" shelves that hold 50 comics (25 on each wall). All are CGC graded and most are signed (SS) as well. Sorry for the glare. Another wall will eventually have a tall black wooden bookcase to showcase my action figures and the few statues I own. This will also block the one window and eliminate the glare. This is pretty cool. Doesn't take up too much space and the carper is cool. That is awesome! I'm going to do something like that some day.

nriccijr Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Do you guys worry about fading of books or sigs while having them on display? Does anyone use those UV cling blockers? I love that corner shelving idea.....but I worry about fading. I guess I could mount UV resistant plastic on the front of the shelves and slide the books in from the side..... Thoughts,??

Dizzymatt Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) So i'm a brand new member....I actually was buying a comic off somebody and he referred me to this site. I'm 37, and used to read/collect comics back when I was a teen. Ofcourse years later I find out mom threw all the boxes of comics and hockey cards to the good will. I started getting into comics again about 3 years ago when we bought our new house and have a man-cave to collect, hang out, and pretty much just hibernate 99% of my life...haha. I don't collect many older comics (bronze, silver, etc), but instead I have been collecting comics I read in the 80's and 90's. Also rare variants I like to collect as well. For the past year I havn't been much of an ebay warrior because I live in Canada and the dollar sucks right now. Instead I've been hitting the bins at yard sales, flea markets, and sometimes bought entire collections off of guys who just don't have the heart or the $$ to collect anymore. I don't have any comics worth 5 figures or anything (like some people on here holy !). However the comics, arcade games, sports memorbilia, etc. all hold great memories for me. If you are ever around Ladysmith , Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada...stop by for a beer! *Darn, can't figure out how to post pictures from my facebook pics* Edited March 12, 2016 by Dizzymatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzymatt Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Any tips on how to post the pictures? I'm not the most computer savvy guy (I work in the mining industry)... I have the pics on my computer...but no clue how to put it to an http.... any suggestions? I took some great pics of my comic/arcade/bar/reading cave.

Pip1988 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Not so much a room, but it is getting there. More to put up and there is something to go in the centre space. Good thing is there is no direct sunlight on that wall, and the curtains and closed most of the time as there is enough light coming in. Still need to add framing board around them and put them in Mylites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip1988 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm thinking of going for a wall decal. Soon I will have something carved to go in the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoddaro Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Welcome! I have a similar story - read books as a kid, stopped collecting for a while, then picked it back up as I started taking my oldest child to the comics store. You can read about posting pics at the Noob thread here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7324793#Post7324793 I just started using TinyPic.com myself.

Dizzymatt Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thanx for the tips how to post! I figured it out. My man-cave is sound-proofed...so I can play music as loud as I want...but even better with the door shut I can't hear a thing when I want to chill and read. There is 2 spare furnished bedrooms in the cave, and right now I'm slowly filling up 1 closet with short-boxes....eventually will probably take over 1 spare room...haha. It has a full bar, ofcourse these pics were taken shortly after christmas when the bar was pretty much depleted..haha. I'm a big fan of old school arcade games too...the 'Golden Axe' machine is actually a 500 in 1 mame cabinet that plays all the classics. I really started collecting heavy again 2-3 years ago...if you couldn't tell I've always been a big Deadpool and Harley Quinn fan. Hope you like the pics!

Comic_Zone Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Awesome room! Not sure if I'm capable of watching two sports games at once though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzymatt Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Once you go 2 tv's. It's the only way to go! 2 hockey games.. or I can watch the Canucks (lose lately) and then watch NFL, NBA or MLB on the other. It's great to watch something else between periods or commercial breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
