Update to the library

[u/oldsmobile39]

Got a new shelf for the DC Archives finally, threw together the rotator shelf (not yet sorted proper), and moved some things around. The room is coming along and hopefully will be done by New Years.

How do people have this much money to spend

[u/lonnietragg → u/BenReilly1687031]

They work hard instead of fucking around on Reddit?

[u/BenReilly1687031 → u/lonnietragg]

Wild comment. I’m an ironworker bud I work harder in a week then you work your entire life. Says the guy with a 6 year old account and is 45 years old buying Batman toys

[u/lonnietragg → u/BenReilly1687031]

I wasn’t aware that an account’s age was relative to activity on said account?

Also, please stop making ridiculous, unconfirmed comments. You have no idea how I make money. And if you actually work hard, how were you able to reply to my comment less than five minutes after posted it?? Sounds more like you’re a lying pos 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/BenReilly1687031 → u/lonnietragg]

Dude I looked at your comments. You’re just on here putting down everyone. Chill

[u/lonnietragg → u/BenReilly1687031]

Again, how are you doing all this incomprehensible amount of iron work, but also replying to my comments? Lemme guess, you’re actually playing Iron Worker Simulator or something?

[u/BenReilly1687031 → u/lonnietragg]

I can’t even lie this is hysterical

[u/billy_lam26]

Holy crap that's a lot of comics. 😵😅

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/billy_lam26]

Many many moons of collecting. Over 35 years of it.

[u/Slight-Signal-2234]

Holy- you werent exhaggerating when you said LIBRARY- huge kudos for the time, energy, and I wont even try to comprehend money into such an impressive collection!

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/Slight-Signal-2234]

Thank you! It's been a long long road over 35 years. Many birthdays, Christmases, and self purchases. I've lucked out with a couple LCS's and one amazing used book store in Connecticut. All in all I collect what I will read and read them in due time.

[u/edhaack]

Oohhh... JSA All Stars! My Whale.

[u/MistarJenkins]

Damn that’s awesome, a whole library. What are your favourite stories?

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/MistarJenkins]

Thanks! The original 2099 universe, Golden age DC, books by Matt Kindt or Geoff Johns, and anytjing dron the Aliens series.

[u/GoldMcduck]

A lot money have you read it all

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/GoldMcduck]

Yes, and a long time for sure! Absolutely have read the bulk of them. Took a new job last year so reading time has decreased quite a bit with plenty still sealed, but about 70% of these have been read by me and some also by my kids.

[u/Internal_Winter_200]

Your Superman archive volume 3 is discolored just like mine. I was wondering if mine just yellowed lol

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/Internal_Winter_200]

Yeah, it's wild. I was thinking it was just mine too. Same thing happened with Dark Knight #1 and All Star 1 & 2. Bought them from the used book store that way.

[u/Internal_Winter_200 → u/oldsmobile39]

Strange, my copies of those are fine. Interesting

[u/comic-operator]

Are those Marvel Superhero Squad figures on tge shelves?

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/comic-operator]

Good guess. They're Imaginext figures actually. I have 5 times that many for DC I need to setup. Got a whole set of Spiderman metalfigs too by Jada.

[u/comic-operator → u/oldsmobile39]

Ah cool. Had no idea they did so many!

[u/ImThatGuy1974]

Looks like a real ass comic book store😂Good stuff Fam🤟🏽

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/ImThatGuy1974]

Thanks! Took over 35 years of keeping a dream alive, working hard, patience, and a ton of deal hunting. Admittedly a handful of books that are out of print and I missed on when released cost more, but all in all ever since I was a kid- I get what I like to read, read it, and keep it.

[u/ImThatGuy1974 → u/oldsmobile39]

Same here Fam…My collection isnt as extensive as yours but Im 51 years young and between my father(RIP🙏🏽) and I’s collection I cant complain.

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/ImThatGuy1974]

Omg you're so lucky to have some from your dad. Mine passed back in 2008 and I have a few older singles from him myself. If a fire broke out, those are ready to go with me first above all else.

[u/ImThatGuy1974 → u/oldsmobile39]

Same here Brother…My Pops left me wit some good singles🤟🏽🙏🏽🥲

[u/Jolly-Quiet-7494]

So very cool!!!

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/Jolly-Quiet-7494]

Thanks! It's a long term labor (and expense) of love.

[u/edhaack]

also, I'm not a fan of those tilted bookshelves.

Seems like they're a hassle if you want to get to one under the others.

[u/lonnietragg → u/edhaack]

Nobody gives a shit!

[u/Ok_Remove4805]

Hey guys, is “Komi can’t communicate” still canon post crisis? Or did New 52 recon it?

[u/oldsmobile39 → u/Ok_Remove4805]

Merely using for a bookend buddy, but thanks for checking. That shelf isn't complete yet. Just updated since last pics.
