(reminder to all of my V-board brothers, we are all unique in some way… read on)

Knightt has an amazing Marvel bust collection (that in a day or so should be getting even more amazing ).

Hulk181man has an awesome vintage Marvel flicker ring collection.

Elveen’s collection may be new, but due to board member recommendations it’s all quality.

Greg likely has the best collection of VALIANT CGC’s in existence.

Comxfan has an organization about his longboxes that puts the U.S. Library of Congress to shame. His collection also shares space with really nice carpeting and a fly pool table.

Magnusr has a looming tower of comics over him whenever he is in his mancave, yet he also has some of the best framed original art this side of the Marvel headquarters.

Our dear, and missed friend TColli had a simple way of organizing and viewing his collection in an uncluttered and precise fashion.

MrBigFeathas (whom most of you might not remember) has an impressive Spider-Man collection.

Boda Zofa has a great set of commissions, and really appreciates the entire art process, including not only the linework, but the inking as well.

See what you can decipher and learn about your friends if you listen well?

well said.....

and......

I'd love to post pics, but my cave is in the process of being moved due to the impending arrival of our second bundle of joy. I tried telling my wife that the new one would just LOVE a bedroom in the basement, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears...

If you have more than one, then it's a collection, Ric!

Uh oh... ok, I am wanting to move 1-6 kids (my choice) for a:

CEAR
EW #27 VVSS
Unity Diamond TPB #1
Visitor vs the Valiant Universe #1 & #2 ($2.50 variant)
Harby TPB Bluebird variant
Destroyer #0 ($2.50 variant)

Things are not looking good today either as I went home for lunch and found bedrooms a MESS. LET THE TRADING BEGIN !!!!

Well as said... an AMAZING Ultimate Iron Man bust showed up a day or so ago. It is AWESOME and makes a GREAT end piece to my next shelf of busts (as a silver age Iron Man, U.S. Agent and Ultron 5 have recently been added).

Pics to follow... THANK YOU IMJ. Yeah, I sent you some 'stuff' but nothing as equal to this mini bust. Ultimate Captain America ? Yep, he will be added to the 'must get' list.

Haven't had much time to post in a good while, felt honored to be included in your list! They are all short boxes, however. I'd never be able to get those heavy buggers on the upper shelf if they were long!

I still have the pics on a webserver, so for the newer folks, here they are:

http://shell.ayrix.net/~jwheeler/comxfan/ManCave03.jpg

http://shell.ayrix.net/~jwheeler/comxfan/ManCave04.jpg

http://shell.ayrix.net/~jwheeler/comxfan/ManCave05.jpg

http://shell.ayrix.net/~jwheeler/comxfan/ManCave06.jpg

And I'm happy to say that since I took these pics 3 things have happened.
1 - my 12 year old son has taken a much more active interest in comics
2 - he is turning into a little pool shark on my snooker table
3 - my wife finally gave up trying to get me to remove my Armorines standee from the "public" part of the man-cave (even tho it is in the darkest corner of the room, it's still a VICTORY!!

Now it's time to see what else I can add to it. When I get done. I'll do some updated pics...

I will try to get around to posting pics of my bust collection AND my books which has not been revamped and had to go to a higher level to conserve space. But, just in time... I am down with a bug again and just in time as I pick up a new class of IOs Monday with a brand new two week course that I had to put together. I'll try...

THAT is THE most awesome thing I have EVER seen. It is practically a shrine to the sport, 100% top notch all the way.

First of all, fantastic man-cave... but I gotta say...

Playing snooker with all 15 red balls is just torturous.

How long do games last, on average?

The first thing my wife said when she seen this was "Why cant you store your comics like that?"
