Won another lot yesterday.

The pearl island of the Blue Sparrowhawk, 321 € + costs. It's actually the last of the series that I haven't had yet. Hence, simple.

Greetings,

Nick.

ps. the Blue Series by Suske en Wiske. For me that is the max.

I miss that too, but the price went too high for me. ;-)

Six months ago I saw it at Beo in A'pen in (near) new condition, but I was afraid to ask for the price. That was a great album!

Received today. I was very happy in terms of condition. Those are really those wonderfully fragile books, like the first Buck Danny's, the first Lucky Lukes, etc. Just try to find them in that condition. So I am very satisfied again. I'd say, on to the next, but I don't miss that much anymore so ... wait and see.

Nick.

I also heard that the (asking) prices of the Nero's went through the roof at the Ghent comic fair. How could that be ??? But whether something was actually sold? These kinds of things can also have a negative impact on the comics business. Have heard several Nero collectors who were particularly disappointed and who were thinking of quitting.

Was just very interested to look at lot 149 from Wednesday. Le Scepter d'Ottokar from 1941. The description states that the back was repaired by a professional restorer. What strikes me is that the spine has been completely replaced, so there is no question of repairing (using original material). Replacement (using no original material or foreign material) is something completely different. Or am I wrong?

For those prices you don't have to expect a Christmas present for the first 20 years :-)

Well done Scam, keep the focus on these items!

Then hopefully no one will make sure that one of the other 158 items goes away to a very lucky collector for next to nothing. Formerly known under the bid name J *** K

I have a feeling that Wednesday's auction has a certain theme, but I can't come up with the name directly ...

Yes, it was about time there was a Jommeke special!

I have also already bid on a number of lottery tickets, but I am simply outbid, even if there is no longer Z ***** l.
And there are indeed still some bargains, but it will not last long I fear.

Don't think there will ever be a Jommeke auction. What are you going to put in it? The first 3 Halewijntjes in mint condition, the first 10 Ons Volkske editions and some original records. They will fetch great prices. But for the rest ... you can't fill an auction with it.

@JozefK. 0N4U? Don't think so, am just a number like everyone else. I am indeed bidding. I don't know yet what it will be, as always will be the inspiration of the moment. It is of course just before the Christmas period and many people (including me) of course go skiing. So for me a bad time.

And indeed, the time of the bargains is done, if ever there have been. Recently bought a number of nice things at the sjops, the auction itself is no longer the case. Only if there are very good things to be picked up. Of course, don't look so much anymore. (Throw a Steven Sterk 2 up for auction please !!!)

But yes, outside the auction there are of course also the shops and if you really start looking, you will find beautiful things there. Do have the impression that the offer is decreasing a bit. (The nice offer that is). Maybe someday I will open a sjop myself. The 0N4USjop. (They should also integrate a kind of smiley version on the forum here, I like Bonte's, it breaks the text a bit.

But in 2013 we will go again " full barge "against it.

Nick.

Spirou / Dupuis has always been somewhat in the shadow of Tintin / Casterman / Lombard.

Slightly wrong. Spirou and Johan and Peewit are among the very best. Beard and Bald, Guus Slim and Lucky Luke too, but I slapped Scam on the back of the head there to avoid collecting them. Steven Sterk mmmhhhh?

And I am not going on a skiing holiday, I have never broken a leg and I want to keep it that way ;-)

We include these kinds of tips in our planning of the theme auctions.

We certainly also respect the old Dupuis editions.
The difficulty is somewhat to be assured of good quality and sufficient lots at that time.

Ok, also understand that this is difficult to organize, but there are a few specialists in that area at the auction providers.

And now something completely different.

Now The end of the year is fast approaching, I wondered if there are people who have good intentions, of course preferably in the field of comics.

Will share my good resolution with you.

Since I've been working on French-language comics for a while now, but that's an almost infinite collection area, I was planning to pick up the rest of the French-language comics that I don't have yet anyway next year and the following years. I am thinking mainly of Asterix (I miss about 6 more, and those are mainly the Pilote editions), Spirou (that's a different pair of sleeves) and of course the French Buck Danny's, Blue Sparrowhawks and the other top series of Dupuis. For the rest, I will also actively (more actively) look for the Spanish, English and German Tintins with linen back in the first edition (Hardly to find, but they exist!).

Actually on this this forum is sharing a lot with you guys, but I just want everyone to get a little bit of insight (comics auction experiences - what's on in the mind of the collector) what a collector is doing.

Nick

Of course I also have good intentions in the field of comics. Next year I will try to complete my Blake and Mortimer collection 1950-present.

Have already acquired several pieces at the auction this year.

Hi Rik, that's a top series indeed. I wish you the best of luck with that, and should I come across something interesting, I'll let you know.

Greetings,

Nick.

Hi Gardener,

for the pure essence you have to be with you. Certainly very important that the comic climate remains good. I have already heard from all kinds of comic specialist shops that the turnover will certainly not improve. Maybe better next year.

And indeed good health and enjoyment of life are very important.

I therefore wish you a much better turnover for next year and good health and enjoyment of life (which I think you already have.)

Greetings,

Nick.

ps. January I change my avantar. Have thought about it.
