Never say never, of course, but it is very unlikely that such a complete series will be offered again in this condition.

In that state ???? Super rare. And in that state "the sky is the limit". These are comics that are put in a safe somewhere.

@Nick4u

Great investment, he will never lose that price again.

In that condition ???? Super rare. And in that state is "the sky the limit".

Don't you mean here the opposite of what you did not say before, but the other way around ??? :-)

Absolutely not. I think this is the maximum price that is achievable for that strip. Of course you have to add 9%. Are you still around 4000 €. For many this is an unattainable price. So the sky.

By the way, I talked to a number of people about it this weekend and they told me that Tintin (even though very nice prices are still being achieved) is a bit on its return . But that is all time-bound. At the moment Suske en Wiske is very "in" and when I look at the Catawiki auction on Monday I notice the high prices of the Nero comics. A few years ago these were still difficult to sell.

By the way, wouldn't know why I wouldn't stay on the forum anymore. I kind of have the impression that my comments keep everyone on their toes. Must stay that way.

Greetings,

Nick.

Your own post:
Unfortunately everything I post on the forum is perceived as negative. So I'm not going to post any more.

Anyway ... everything is for reading, otherwise you might as well start collecting stamps.

And... everything is for reading, otherwise you might as well start collecting stamps.

Me too, but if you buy an album for a lot of money that hasn't had a scratch in over 40 years, I'd also think it a shame if I were the first lout to damage it after 40 years.

That's why I don't buy old albums in mint condition. That saves me a lot of money and then I'm not ashamed to read them nicely. Although I am still careful with it.

I would never buy a complete series either, that does the word 'collect' a little injustice.

Wednesday's album I'm looking forward to is Vandersteen's Piwo album. Beautifully damaged! Still beautiful and still readable. For me a good combination ... if the price does not go too high.

Stamps? Are those things not to stick on letters?

And if you still want to read that story in its original form, buy a facsimile. That costs € 20.

Nick.

ps. those Piwo albums have also been bundled and reprinted. Very nice edition by the way. If you still want to spend 300 or more euros on the original that may or may not be damaged, you are a collector, whether you like it or not.

Lot 5 ASTERIX

Still have my doubts about this lot...?

Offered 550 euros? that is again 18 euros on average.

This is beautiful.. but I have my doubts about the condition.

Number 1 is damaged and that's the hardest one.

5. Asterix 1 to 33 - Complete series - sc - 1st edition - (1966 / 2005) Near mint condition

Very nice collection.

All Asterix booklets in first edition and in near mint condition. Perfectly preserved.

Only no. 1 has a stripe across the cover (in Hilversum we call that a scratch!) and no. 10 has minor damage to the bottom of the spine. See pictures. (so not near mint condition)

Are the parts really all 1st edition is my question? Roman dates that must match and part 1 is that of the rycker?

Wonder where this ends?

No doubt that I am a collector. But I'd rather buy an album for 300 euros that I can read with confidence than a mint condition that costs three times as much and I don't dare to get out of the closet.

And if you like that story still want to read in its original form, buy a facsimile.

Well, but it feels different, smells different, doesn't look the same and has a lot less charm. Nothing as beautiful as an album that someone received from Saint Nicholas during the war years during the paper shortage. Very happy with the exceptional gift, always carefully read and cherished so that the album still looks beautiful, but read.

Grab that album, think of that happy face from then, smell it again, a let a sip of spirit drink in and sink a little deeper into your seat by the warm stove. Let those dark cold months come for me, I'm ready!

Or am I exaggerating a bit?

No, you are not exaggerating. I often have that feeling too. As long as you can keep that, it is (and remains) worth it.

Good luck bidding on that Piwo. Have parts 1 and 3 yourself and you can assume from me that they are very vulnerable (fragile) booklets. So I don't have part 2, won't bid against you, don't want to deprive you of that dark-cold-months feeling.

Greeting,

Nick.

I agree, almost everything has been reprinted at the moment, but somehow it is not the same.

But I would rather buy an album for 300 euros that I can read with confidence than a new condition that costs three times as much and I do not dare to get to the cupboard.

There are some that I would like in new condition (I am building a money box ...), But otherwise: if it is really a new condition then you do not dare to unfold it, because the back could sometimes crack

Of course we are all curious about what Zwendel is looking for in new condition (this is of course about experiences.) and also like the how, the why, etc.

And as indicated earlier, do you buy that comic (assume that this is a comic here.) to read or to put in a cupboard and occasionally take hold and cherish and ...

Of course you shouldn't answer this, but still. Curious.

Nick.

@ Nick4u Feel free to bid and complete your series. I recently bought the nr 3 and saw that it is exceeding my remaining budget.

@Zwendel If it were new states of Spirou that you are looking for, I am not completely surprised.

I said NOTHING. I am a grave !!!

I did not even insinuate that it was about the entire Sombrero series. You know those porn comics. But yes Scam, everyone has his own thing.

Nick.

ps. can of course help you with certain parts in new condition.

With a name like Scam and accompanying picture, that is of course a logical guess. I'm certainly not angling for your list.

I didn't even insinuate that it was about the entire series of Sombrero.

Porn comics in new condition that don't crack you open!?! How clean! That is the same as buying the Playboy for the articles!
