Oh, that's what you mean by the 3 colors. Comics magazine seems to distinguish between different versions of light blue endpapers? And the variants are not available for the dark blue bracts, that makes a difference.

My image 3 was a variation on Tintin in sight (which contains the version of comics magazine), so * if * collectors checked that when they added their album then it doesn't make sense ... Too bad that comics magazine doesn't have its album added: - /

edit: are the versions that are in sight in Tintin not assumed to exist?

The dark blue bracts were used in the oldest editions. They only occur in combination with the colophon 1 or 2 and never with language lists.

The light blue endpapers only occur with language lists. From 1961 the language lists are mentioned in new editions.

Issues from 1961-63 without a language list are old book blocks that are used. Casterman was a thrifty publisher :)

As far as I know, Peter Ottens has only recorded albums that he actually owned. So all its versions exist.

He also indicates that he has not found all the combinations.

I know that and I understand it, but then we could also remove image 3 from the current version (that is version ZK from Tintin in sight) and create a variant with NB (now in the catalog)?

edit: in the meantime made scans, so you can create a variant.

Fine, then I will replace image 3 of the version that is now in the catalog with an image of the auction item.

Great! We need an image of both the 1st and the 2nd flyleaf - quite a hassle I must say ...

As far as I am concerned, you can also suffice with an image of the front flyleaf and indicate in the details which figure is on the top right of the rear flyleaf.

What will the number addition be? (2.1a) (2.1b) or something similar?

This is the simplest solution to indicate the variation of the variants.

We have already applied this a number of times in this series.

Has 4884317 . The other version has yet to get an "a", but it is frozen, so I can't do it.

Now see your comment about first cover - what do you think, is this clear or indeed 1st cover and describe further? If there are variants with the same 1st flyleaf then this will cause less confusion, I think (often people only look at the pictures).

Let's hope that the endpapers were not used randomly, but that they were at least fixed combinations :-)

Given the amount of work I would suffice with an image of the front cover and indicating which figure is on the back cover, this gives the best chance that future importers will take the trouble to add the endpapers. In addition, I find this more convenient.

Mistakes were sometimes made during the assembly of the albums. (Double endpapers, double covers) These are misprints and we will not include them. I don't know if the endpapers have been turned over or if the same endpaper has been used twice ...

So far added something to 847623 1657337 and 24344 , but that delivers no new variants yet (we hope for more clarity and a faster discovery of variants ;-)

Must go now, but at 547633 I see that there are already two variants in Tintje in sight; I have the NB version. Add a new variant here, or adjust the current version and hope someone will enter the other one?

Tintin in sight i.i.g. already NK and NB versions, so the first endpaper alone is not enough?

edit: I was already scanning / photographing and merging, so now also combis made ... I can adjust later of course .
