Yes, I thought so too, Jozef, but if the publisher already uses other things than the right one, it will be difficult to follow, won't it?

That does not make it any easier.

It is also only the "real-first-edition-collector" who is "concerned" about this.

Fortunately, at Catawiki it is all carefully noted;)

To finish. I just sold my green fingers for the price of 7 euros.

So I managed to make a big profit (0.05 euros)! It turned out to be worth the wait! (We'll forget the gasoline back and forth to buy the album.)

Of course you can still buy the same album from another seller for 40 euros (or for 6, 95).

Already stocked up on the last G. Raf Zerk with French page? (;-)

(I think there is a money-hungry intern in the pre-press department of Ballon. And earlier this year they also had an organizational 'problem' ...)

No, I have a much bolder plan.

I am buying up all the Rikki and Wiske's I can find. Here I remove the cover and put another around it. Then I place it in the catalog with the story that this is the first edition of the album (the only real first edition) but with the wrong cover. I will indicate the real copy as the 2nd edition in our catalog.

Any self-respecting Vandersteen fan will then reach deep into his pocket to obtain one of these very rare first editions!

I'm going to make a big difference with this!

That will not go fazeco, Vandersteen was not happy with the albums and never signed them.

This edition has never been on the market and Vandersteen has himself in his French colère (when he saw at the printer) thrown into the container (according to witnesses Vandersteen shouted: "Now my stove is ready!"). And it is a coincidence that my grandfather's grandson was working at Standaard just then and fished part of the container. Because Willy has thrown so hard, they are of course no longer in new condition. For years it was thought that this story was only a myth until I found the albums in my estate ...

So beware, those signed albums are forgeries.

('t Is the beautiful legend that will only boost the value.)
