How can you track your offered lottery tickets at the Comic Auction?

The tab "Wednesday" gives a blank page. Is that the case with everyone or is it my browser?

With me, Monday has now disappeared, while Wednesday is visible.

Day,

Does anyone here know anything more about lot 49 of the Wednesday auction = Tintin album in an edition of 10 copies??. When I google the title I read here that not 10 but 62 were made

http://tintinpirates.free.fr/Rencontre.htm

Somewhere here I read that there are ten times as many (100?) and that there are also predatory pressures.

http://tintinperdu.blogspot.com/2012/02/geripte-roofdruk.html

I have sent an email to the provider but they have not responded, hence my question here. They also sold the same album on ebay two months ago

http://www.ebay.de/itm/TinTin-La-Rencontre-Imprevue-opl-10-difficult-/280726641156

All this doesn't seem right to me?

As I read it, series of 10 albums have been released with 6 different covers. The 10 albums are always numbered A to J.

By the way, I come to 60 and not 62 ...

As far as this "Rencontre" is concerned, I think that bidders also have their own responsibility. If they don't research but blindly place a bid, then they owe it in part to themselves when they buy a pig in a poke. However, I suspect that many bidders are not such seasoned online auction connoisseurs.

Although Catawiki rejects any responsibility in the Auction Conditions (art. 7), the structure of the auction suggests at least a certain involvement and quality guarantee.

Strictly speaking, the stated number is correct for this cover version and if it concerns an original copy. But if you consider the opinion of the expert (Popokabaka) and the identical copy that was sold on eBay 5 months ago (with the exact same scratch on the front) it does get very dubious.

I wanted to go from Monday to Wednesday, then I got a windows-like popup with 'the page www.catawiki.nl says: connection lost, will auto-reconnect when online'

It's getting a bit vague there.

btw, Chrome as browser and windows xp

We just fixed this. If you still get that message, you have to refresh the page (usually control + F5). Just let me know if it is working properly now.

with the two HC numbers it is therefore 62.

edit; which of course does not alter the fact that, Caveat emptor or not, another seller presents a lot with unclear information to say the least. And that scratch is very, very coincidental.

But if you do research in the Catawiki database, for example, you will read here that the print run of the book is 10. Nowhere does it say that it only concerns 10 books with that one cover and that there are (at least) fifty more.

The incomplete Catawiki information was entered two weeks ago by the seller Barabas. I think that is a strange course of events and actually not possible.

You have a point. If Catawiki's catalog information can serve as a reliable reference, then you can argue that auction lots should only be offered when the linked catalog items have at least been fully reviewed by administrators.

Incidentally, the information for the CW item is correct, if you assume that each of the six different versions may be entered as a separate variant. The fact that this has not yet happened makes an explanation extra desirable.

@ Westerlaken: For your information: According to BD Gest, the album only consists of 18 printed pages only (not recto verso), and on each page there is only one strip of 3 colored pictures. Hence, in your link http://tintinpirates.free.fr/Rencontre.htm it is stated that the album is in 3 minutes. Just so you know ...

But it is printed on superb cream-colored paper and if it goes more than 25 Euro it still ends up in the collector's cupboard and is never read ;-)

By the way, it's an illegal album, if you know all the details about it, all the charm is gone too. Pirates who keep accounts are fake, posers, get rid of it!

Each variant may indeed be entered separately.

But the number of 10 per variant is formally not tenable, I'm afraid. The fact remains that this provider has already sold an album with the same cover plate and the same letter. That is immediately too many, because officially only one of each faceplate-letter combination should exist.

The copy on offer is an F and that also fits seamlessly with the statement of Pokoenzov, that there are many more of the F and G copies in circulation.

Thanks to all who provided information, we have now been able to read the text accompanying the corresponding clarify lot 49 .

The seller has confirmed that it is the same album that was sold on eBay a few months ago. The buyer at the time later sold part of his collection to the seller, including this one.

The highest bidder was asked whether the offer can be maintained or whether it is now withdrawn due to this change.

I don't know, I don't get a sense of those auctions. Lot 14 that just ended, shouldn't it just have been neatly stated that those handwritten letters are just reproductions ?? The information from the seller and the information from the database do not make it any clearer either: are there now 5000 numbered copies worldwide released in cloth cover with golden linen spine, a cloth cover and all pages are finished with gold or , according to the database, 700? I think it's a mess.

If you look on the internet, you will see that 5000 copies have been issued, but only 700 with inserts with the signatures

"Fabric cover", "golden linen spine", "gold finished", that whole description is a disaster. And the circulation in the item description as it is under the lot is simply wrong. You can already deduce that from the numbering of the book.

Morits, those 3 reproductions of notes are in all 5000 copies. Only the first 700 also have a pasted-in ex-libris with the real signatures of Barks and Hannah and a facsimile signature of Nash (because he was seriously ill at the time). For this edition the list price is realistic, you can find a copy of the other 4300 much cheaper. (There is now one for sale on the internet –in the Netherlands– for 280 euros.)

Edit: description 175659 corrected.

I have to say it from my heart:

The sellers should also let their 'light' shine on the Catawiki catalog.
I have absolutely no problems with the sellers, on the contrary, with most of them I have very good experiences and they have to stay there. And with the attention for the auctions, there will also be more 'normal' comic offers, very good!

But what I see is that most of them have the reflex of: I know and I keep it to myself and I do not tell it further (my benefit) and therefore do not supplement the Catawiki catalog.


There are also auctions where there are images that are missing from Catawiki and are not supplemented (yeah).
