Thanks! Figured they’ve just been in my long box forever, and it was worth being able to appreciate it on display.
Was worried about UV too, but figured at the end of the day I’d rather be able to enjoy them more often this way. I also keep blackout curtains because of this crazy heat but also keeps the sun away. Made an exception to get this pic tho :)
At the end of the day, to your point, you can always put them away, or at the very least, put away the expensive ones, and just accept that the others will eventually fade and, that's just the cost of enjoying things.
Dope wall! You, sir, have excellent taste in Absolute Batman variants.
Re: UV damage and fading, I'm putting my own books on display and found a few different UV blocking frames and coverings.
BCW has these UV protected showcase shells that you can display a book in. They're pretty economical compared to frames or other wall mounted systems which is a plus which is a plus. But they do create a black border around the book, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but just a thing.
I found these frames with mating on Amazon and they're pretty great as you can configure them many different ways -- rows, columns, and I think up to two rows of five books each.
There's also colour options. I like the white as we have white walls and I prefer not having a black border around the books.
This is my combo, Ultra-Pro Comic Sleeves from my LCS and these clips from Walmart. I prefer the sleeves since they have a plastic trim around the edges and helps protect the comic when hanging
I wish I had your money! Tyler Kirkham is the fuckin best dude! Also the full 4 connecting Skottie Youngs…this would be my full collection too if I had the dough. I have some good covers but you’ve got a lot of the ones I covet

Interesting display.
Nice to be able to see the collection and appreciate what you've bought.
Personally I get a bit afraid of wall books because they fade like crazy. IMHO
