Between the possible bending of comics and the constant exposure to light, I wouldn't want to keep any of my collection on a spinner rack.

Keep checking on it. Prices fluctuate. Mine was $55 plus shipping. And in regard to your comment above, this one is wide enough to hold bagged and boarded books, and it does so very securely. |

I have a spinner rack. Style that was used from mid 70's through late 80's.  |

Yeah spinner racks bent the comics but I didn't care when I was younger. Whenever I see comics in a spinner rack I feel like a kid again.
Do any of you have comics with dates scribbled in black wax pencil on the back cover? |

Do any of you have comics with dates scribbled in black wax pencil on the back cover? Front cover, and several. We had this discussion somewhere else once (I have no idea where), but I prefer my comics to convey a little history, even at the cost of their "condition". I love when crosswords and subscription orders are filled in, or there are little doodles and notes on the margins of the pages, and I especially love when the original owner's name is stamped or handwritten on the cover. |

I love comics with arrival dates, or better yet, date stamps.
I recently came very close to finding one of my holy grails, which is a comic with a date stamp from the day i was born. Unfortunately, they didn't release comics that day, so I have to somehow find a copy from a place that received their shipment a day late. However, I was at a comic book show recently and happened to find a comic with a date stamp on the front cover from the day before I was born. So that's cool.
I always prefer comics with date stamps. I have a spreadsheet of books in my collection with date stamps or arrival dates on the cover and currently have close to a hundred.

I must admit to being a bit partial to Silver or Bronze Age U.S. comics that have been imported into the UK and have a small rubber stamp on the cover with the British price on them. Like this...  |

I want to see a black and white series called Spinner Rack Stories drawn in the style of film noir.
"It was a cold and rainy Wednesday. I'd just gotten off the bus a block from old man Glugman's five & dime where I got my comics off a spinner rack that'd seen better days. I had just enough spare change to buy the latest issue of Captain Carrot...when she walked in..."
