Kevin.J Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 KevinJ, that room is something else. I assume it's on the ground floor as the weight must be huge? Great collection though. And Waylander, what you actually did was the mathS This room is not on the ground floor, I do worry about the ceiling falling in as my computer room is directly below and I spend a lot of time in there. If it is windy outside it can be quite unnerving as you can hear creaking above you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin.J Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have seen some great rooms on here and finally got time to take a few photos of mine. Years ago it used to be all prettied up, but now it is purely functional due to my collection getting seriously out of hand in size. I have 21 filing cabinets in all. You can get approx 600 comics per drawer. I think that they are best as I can get to most of my collection (SA & BA anyway) in minutes. I still have lots of overspill into other rooms, loft and the garage in long boxes. I need a bigger house. I don't want to fill out this thread with photos of comics, but I will pull some out if someone posts a link where to show them....and anyone wants to see. Very nice room. Really like the HC display. Awesome AF 15 and Hulk 1. What's the picture above your slabbed books - the black and white one? Edit - WOW, just did the math - that nearly 50,000 comics! + More than 100 long boxes. I put from about 1980 onwards and whatever I was complete with into boxes as I didn't need the access. There nothing worse than filling a gap and having to move 25 boxes to put it in place. Best thing I ever did was get the cabinets, full access. The picture is Batman / Vampirella. The room used to have lots of OA on the walls but its all kept in a case now as not much wall space left. Here are some photos of some of my comics. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5601216#Post5601213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscott Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Great space, working on mine now. So far all the wife has thrown my way is part of our bonus room. I have my desk set up and some shelving. Currently working on taking the whole room over at which time I will post pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big load for standard floor joists to deal with, especially if in an older house. Hate to think of you getting flattened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenners Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Nice. What is in the custom bound hardcovers? Cheers! Upstairs in the man-cave, I've got 'Tales Of Suspense' starting from the Cap run, going up to his first series at #100 and then on through his entire run up til today, plus the same with 'The Avengers' (first issue bound is #21 though, as issues #1-20 will be CGC'd when I get around to it. In the dining room, I've got a right old mixture of the complete run of 'What If?'s, 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', a 10 year run (starting with the Straczynski run) of 'ASM' up til the present day, and lots and lots of Modern Age stuff ('New Avengers', 'Mighty Avengers', 'Civil War', Secret Invasion', 'Siege', The Ultimates' etc etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
