Had a full shelf collapse on me at a con last Saturday
I was at the Fan Expo in Denver and leaned too hard on a display rack full of variant covers. About 50 comic books hit the floor in 2 seconds flat, and I spent 20 minutes helping the vendor sort them back in order by issue number.

Friend of mine had one of those heavy wooden displays tip over at a local con in Phoenix, caught a vendor's knee on the way down. @gracewebb it was a nightmare sorting everything because the bags were all different sizes and some had those tight resealable strips. They ended up just stacking them by publisher and eyeing the issue numbers from memory, took almost an hour. Were you both using price stickers or just going by the covers?

50 issues is no joke, I used to think those heavy wire racks at cons were indestructible. A couple years ago a buddy of mine leaned on a wall display at a local show and it almost took out a $200 slabbed book. That experience totally changed my mind about trusting vendor setups. How did you and the vendor manage to get the issues back in order without the bags tearing?
