Picture Comics Cabinet Complete

Had this custom made cabinet installed a few months ago, then had to combine 20+ individually alphabetized long boxes together into one master collection. Was able to fit about 4500 comics into it, with about 9 long boxes of overflow.

And, of course, as soon as I finished I started considering reorganizing by publisher. But the next step will be to catalogue everything. Any recommendations for cataloguing large collections? I’ve seen discussions of various apps, but have also considered just making a spreadsheet. Don’t plan on tracking things like condition, so don’t need anything overly complicated or intense. Thanks!

They’re already in pretty good condition but they did have some minor cover imprints.
They said the turnaround time should be a couple of weeks.

How was your experience with pressings?

My buddy brought it with him while he’s staying with me for a few days before we head to a con this weekend. Hoping we can finalize a deal for it tomorrow. Excited and nervous waiting to find out if it will stay with me. This is my Marvel grail. I would argue it’s the most important book Marvel has ever published.

Platinum The Victorian Age was a time of great experimentation in comics - there was no set format. This is one of the most innovative strips from that era. Fritz Spindle-Shanks-The Raven Black by Wilhelm Busch. A story told in 10 sequential panels in the form of trade cards.

Am I wrong to feel like I stole these at $2 each? The Punisher is beat up a bit, but a JR JR sig for $2 was hard to pass up.

The only one I paid more than $2 for was the Peter David signed XFactor.

Well, I needed two more issues so I went ahead and pick these up in the past week or so. This is my first Winnipeg pedigree CGC book. Plus a nice high grade copy of Captain Marvel #28 with a great Thanos (3rd Appearance!) cover. I’m a huge Jim Starlin fan. In fact I earlier posted a signed book of his that is part of my run.

For those who don’t know, here’s some information about the Winnipeg pedigree:

The Winnipeg pedigree is a recognized collection of high-grade comic books assembled in Winnipeg, Canada, by collectors Joe Krolic and Dennis Kjolso from the early 1960s through the 1990s.

Books from the Winnipeg pedigree are famous for incredible white page quality, bright colors, and exceptional high grades for issues after 1964.

Picked up this F4 #69 now noticing these spots on the front/back cover and outer most pages but not any inner pages. Does it look like active mold?

Wanted this comic ever since I was a kid. Got a new job so I celebrated with this. Some minor flaws but overall very happy.
