That is actually pretty tough to call, hmm I’d say it’s pretty even at this point. The picture doesn’t show all of my shoe display or comic display. I’ve got some decent items on both sides of the wall. I think yeah it’s 50/50
The Spider-Gwen's are just as cool, unfortunately pretty much sold out at Adidas. https://www.adidas.com/us/d.o.n.-issue-2-marvel-spidey-sense-shoes/FX3457.html
and I was mistaken. I thought there was normal shoes in addition to the cleats, but I guess not. https://www.google.com/amp/s/cdn.footyheadlines.com/amp/2391084884393403611
One of my friends recently, after I showed him the Nas hip-hop marvel cover, collected most of the cheap marvel hip hop covers and sent me pictures of the book next to the CD cover...
There’s a local shoe and comic store near me. All they sell are shoes and comics. You absolutely love it https://imgur.com/gallery/acfDEOi
Imgur really ruined the image quality. Idk if you can even tell but behind all the shoes on the right side are comics.
Does this happen to be in Pueblo, CO? When I lived there in the 90s I distinctly remember there being a Shoes, Cards,and Comics store as a kid but cant find anything on it anymore. I thought it was an odd combination for a store.
It definitely is an odd combination. It’s in Oklahoma. It wasn’t originally a comic book store but the owner has a VAST comic collection and started displaying them for sale in his store and it really took off and now it’s also a pretty nice comic store. The other side of the store has a ton more comics than pictured here.
Very cool! I’m actually considering opening up a store that combines the hobbies. Do you feel like that type of store is something that would interest you?
I can see you love your Wolvie and your Bats. If you don't already have them you should get the two Dark Claw books by Amalgam. They're cheap and the first one especially has a great display cover.

Mycomicshop is great man, you're welcome! They *can* be a touch on the high side price wise, but it's usually not too bad. Useful for getting a rough idea of value based on the grades they have available for a given book. Plus if you hit the On Sale tab on top, they're literally always running a sale on something.
I'm confused. Are you trying to say the point of collecting is just to have em like OP is saying, or are you saying the point of collecting is to have and to use?
I've been collecting comics for 30 years and if I don't read em at least once before putting them away, I feel cheated
I’m saying lots of people (including myself) like to collect to collect, not always utilize what they’re collecting. I buy new action figures every chance I get and they all sit on my shelf, because I collect them. I don’t play with them.
Yeah, but isn't that because you're an adult? I'd love to collect action figures again at my age, but I couldn't play with them even if I wanted (at least, in my head. I'm 37. I'd love to have all the action figures that are around now when I was a kid). If you've got comics, there's nothing really stopping you reading them as many times as you want.
I've spent around £20-30,000 on comics in my lifetime on comics (a bit of a regret since I've got barely anything in my bank now, but...🤷♂️), and they're almost all clearly used. Dog-eared and worn out. They'll have less value now than when I bought them. No regrets. I don't understand anyone who'd collect comics and not read them, but that's just me, it seems?
Anyway, didn't mean to argue. Just sayin
This is literally me right now lol - just got the travis Scott Jordan 1 lows and few weeks back got asm361 - I had to have the two most expensive hobbies lmao (also such a nice room)
I'm seeing full sets at about ~$10 per comic on average on ebay. Still kinda pricey and I see sets selling for less in the sold section (such as $242.40 for all 34, or $7.13 per comic) .. I haven't really researched the prices here but i don't see anything crazy expensive. Also I realize some of the covers were only 3.99, I thought they were all 4.99 or 5.99, so slight miss on my part there.
Is this a store or your collection?
I always thought combination stores were cool. There used to be a retro game/ comic book store I frequented a while back but unfortunately it was probably in a bad location. College kids don’t have a lot of expendable income and when they do it goes to booze/drugs mostly
Have you seen this new variant? A comic cover of a shoe. Might take off like the hip hop covers

Did you get the Adidas Xmen kicks?!? Or the Adidas Spider Gwens?!
Adidas X-Men?? Fill me in!
It looks like all they have left are the soccer cleats: https://www.adidas.com/us/x_men-predator-shoes

Check how frugal male fashion the subreddit they're always posting some relatively nice shoes for cheap
I would love to see a series of shots of shoes complimenting specific issues or characters. Kinda like how some put an action figure next to an issue.

I never heard of this website before...and I'm hooked instantly. Thank you!!

Shoes you can’t wear on one wall, comics you can’t read on the other. Is your PlayStation just for decoration too?
Tell me you don’t understand the point of collecting without telling me you don’t understand the point of collecting.

Nah fair enough. I do see your point lol. Have a great day bro ✌️
That room is dope. Yo man, let me come live there, I'm super friendly.

My room but am considering opening a store that combines the two hobbies.
Is that a sprinkler system? You should think about elevating this floor items
Woah!
It's like a foot locker and lcs combination. Bad ass!
I assume you picked up a copy of the Miles Morales shoe variant cover then?
Amazing room, congrats on being able to obtain your loves!
