Something that I wish was easier to find are those old comic book spinner displays.

Those things were hard on the comics. 

About the closest thing to them, these days, is the bargain DVD racks.

Something that I wish was easier to find are those old comic book spinner displays. Those things go for a lot of money these days, which is weird to think of. Used to be you'd collect the comics thinking they'd be worth money someday. Turns out those clunky display stands at all of those old drugstores are worth a lot of money, haha.

I was able to find two of the spinner racks about 10 years ago. We had a small local drug store that had one in the 80s and 90s that I used to get my floppies from. When I didn't see it there one day, I asked the owner if he still had it. In fact, he had it stored away in the back room. Got it for free. I knew the owner pretty well and he remembered me always getting books there when I was young, so he was happy to see it go to a good home.

The second one I found in a storage loft at a local cigar shop. I knew the owner and manager real well and they new I was a huge comics fan. Got that one for $150.

Guess you didn't know him as well as the drug store guy!

Got a few "Ghost Club" monster pin display stands in varying degrees of completion, no idea the date but based on the bat header art I'd guess the 80's. I kind of like the one that is missing half of the display leaving just the word "Ghost" on it. It fortunately includes the paper kick stand on the back so will look awesome on a shelf just as is. I'm going to have to track down more of these monster pins to fill out the other display.

The larger fly I believe is from the 80's. The others seem much older.
