| I've talked many times how I'm a collector on a pretty meager budget, but I've managed to build up a modest but fun collection of my favorite graded books. How do you display yours? I plan to order four of the museum-grade (UV protection included) 4-book displays from The Collector's Resource. I figure if I mount them on the wall and they're not in direct sunlight AND have the added UV protective layer, I can enjoy them instead of tossing them in boxes. So far, this is what my final collection is and will look like (below). I'm curious to see what the rest of you more serious collectors do! Thanks, everybody.  |

I don’t have a lot of wall space but I have a few books in Comic Mounts hanging on the side of a couple of bookcases |

| Nice displays. I look forward to seeing how inventive the displays get. Below is mine. Notice the exquisite corrugated plastic.....  |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Nice setup, @BigRedOne1944! Looks like you have plenty of room for a nice collection. I've got an 10x14 room for everything...including my bed, so I have to make due! |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

So I use command strips and hang them all over the house, but the largest display is in my rumpus room, I rotate them when I get bored or find something I think is cooler   |

| So, here's what I do. It started as building a display for a convention and then it just kept expanding from there. I have fun with it. The single frames are ones I have done for my sons and two consignments.           |

| @Mountie73 That 'inside the cabinet' image makes me cringe a little. What kind of light is above the top shelf? |

I’m with @Siggy. My stuff is in a box as well. I think a nice shelf set up would work well, but that’s probably a futur project. Anyways you gave me a great excuse to pull out my slabs and share! I have never done so and Inhave had like 7 mail calls since joining the forum board. My apologies with my selfishness. Well with no further delay here is my slab collection:    |
