Not a dealbreaker, for me at least Looks good "die".....I like how you made the small wall space seem so much bigger. Man, I love displaying comics and anything pop culture. It just makes me feel like a kid in a toy store....everyday! :o)

One thing you'll definitely want to do is put a piece of scrap wood as long as the J channel in and mount that flush against the wall if you don't your comics for fly off the wall because there isn't enough inclined to keep them waiting back adding the word gives it that small incline from the bottom so the comics don't fall forward you can do this with scrap wood I found some really cheap nice looking Wood that fits J channel and perfect at Home Depot they have a section of clearance wood because it maybe warped or cracked and you can get it for pennies on the dollar

	I'm not sure how long these have been around but I just came across them in an email from amazon. they look pretty sweet.... albeit the price. They're adjustable to fit ungraded & graded books & can be displayed on a table or on a wall. Seems like a good & pretty attractive way to display your slabs. anyone seen these or have any? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GP1HJQG/ref=pe_2565280_237967360_em_1p_5_ti

	Haven't seen them before. They are nice but I think they lack any kind of unique quality.

	I hang mine, but these look better actually. I like how they offset from the wall!

	I purchased two of them to give them a try. Works well either free standing or hung. simple to use/hang.

	I cant get them to hang righf or stay tight. Im not liking them or the price for 1. They feel like they cost 50 cents to make. Price point should be lower. MHO.

	I grabbed two to try as well. I agree they are ok, but for the price I would probably just buy a frame or a dollar store stand.

	I have some of these and they work good. I like the way they don't take away from the slab like a frame would do. They are pretty simple to use and can work as a wall mount or stand. The plastic is pretty thin and I was a little sceptic at first that they were not going to hold the book. However they seem to work. Here are a few that I have hanging...

	I like them a lot. I use them for the free standing display. However, I could never get them to hang properly on the wall. Not securely enough to hold my rarer books, anyway.

	I would never hang a slab on a wall. #sorrynotsorry
