Title: CBR's 'Shelf porn' - people showing off their personal comics, etc collections
Post by: Yoc on March 10, 2013, 10:24:10 AM: Hi gang,
Here's a fun idea for a blog with an unfortunate name -'shelf porn'.
They ask readers to send pictures of their comics, toys, etc collection space. Some people out there have a fantastic collection.
Our own JVJ and rangerhouse could easily submit pictures to these guys.

Here's the link -

If DCM members would like to share photos of their own collections here please feel free.
Click 'Additional options' on the bottom left of a reply window to see about attaching jpgs.

Take care,
-Yoc

Bit of a mess. And I don't even have toys or figures. I have hoovered this morning and that takes too long what with having to move stuff to get to the corners. And I'm in the middle of bagging comics.

Correct me if I'm wrong. ;) :D

Post by: darkmark (RIP) on March 31, 2013, 09:58:40 PM: I don't have anywhere near that big a stash. Just live in an apartment with a whole buncha comics on DVDs and CDs. Blessings.

Post by: narfstar on April 01, 2013, 10:09:03 AM: OK Cimm do you find it hard to leave the room? BTW do you give tours for those in the area? What state do you live in? CB+ would love some of those pulps to be scanned.

Post by: CharlieRock on April 01, 2013, 02:46:16 PM: That is awesome, Cimm. Perhaps I can take a picture that doesn't have the messy floor in the frame ...
The eerie thing I noticed about Cimm's place, my walls are the exact same color and the doors the exact same color/design.

Shoot from the floor, obviously.

Post by: bminor on July 23, 2013, 02:15:00 PM: Do you have the Complete Russ Cochran EC Reprint set? Drool, drool...
I saw the complete EC Cochran set, 100% complete on EBay a couple of months ago, complete with original invoices, everything. It went for about $800 bucks. What a steal!

Post by: cimmerian32 on July 23, 2013, 05:53:43 PM: Yeah, I have all but two... Frontline Combat and the Modern Love set... Hope to get those this year sometime.

That WAS a STEAL!!! Wow!
