I popped into the local convenience store the other day and was surprised to see something that hasn’t been on sale there in many, many years; a display selling comic books.
It wasn’t a spinner rack, mind you. Those disappeared from corner stores and grocery markets a long time ago. Collectors now search antique stores and flea markets for the tall wire metal racks to display not the current month’s selection of titles, but favorite samples from personal collections, not in corner store but in man caves.
This thing was a temporary cardboard display, the kind delivered flat and then folded into shape by a worker, little tabs inserted into corresponding slots to hold it together. I put together my share of them, working at a big box retailer, but never assembled one to display comic books.
