Apparently I have initiated a new topic here. Initially it was all about viewing items at Catawiki auctions from the eye of the collector. Why are bids on items and especially why not? In addition, it would be interesting to know what the contemporary collector of comics is doing. What are the do's or don'ts Have anything else posted on Catawiki auctions about a particular item that is currently available for bidding. To date, no response has been received. It's not necessary, so if someone has anything to say about his or her motives, let them know. You will not be judged on it. Greetings, Nick

Hi Gardener, this is actually a topic for collectors and not for sellers, but because it is you you can still post. :-)

In addition to that, it would be interesting to know what the contemporary collector of comics is doing. What are the do's or don'ts? Have you posted to Catawiki's auctions about a particular item that is currently up for bid. To date no response has been received. You don't have to. So if someone has something to say about his or her motives, let them know.

Made my life easier a while ago by limiting myself to a (not too large) number of series. I already have it in 'Good' condition. Buying better copies (that is, quasi-mint/mint condition) is a consideration of how to spend my money.

Tintin is not among them. So I couldn't give a sensible answer to that. In the long term I would like to have all the Dutch-language books in 1950s hardcover as reading material (the smell alone...), but I don't mind the pressure for that, as long as they are in 'decent' condition.

I do intend to add to some other series (in the first edition of course), but that is not a priority. I'm not going to include Tintin there, that's impossible, especially with all those French-language editions.

Lately I have the impression that Tintin is a bit over his top. Have the complete series yourself, except for one wood-containing copy. I have the wood-free version of that, identically the same but thinner. The wood-containing paper is thicker than the non-wood-containing one. By the way, this book is on the Hergé auction, but it's not a priority for me (certainly not at that price).

As for the French Tintins, there is a very nice standard work of that, namely 444 Tintins. The number 444 apparently indicates the number of different Tintins that have been printed (of the entire series, that is). I myself am concerned with the uncoloured series by Tintin, but only those that have been published by Casterman. The Le Petit editions are very nice, but not really feasible for my wallet, especially because I am again looking for very nice copies. Go see for yourself what I'm going to do with auction 4 of the Hergé auction. Auction 1, very difficult, I already have, L'Ile Noire not. The Tintin collectors in France are classified in a number of levels, believe that the collectors of "Les grandes images" are at level 7 or 8. So very high.

And for the rest, things from Dupuis, they are also very popular at the moment.

A number of series from the Lombard Collection are also no longer popular at the moment, but if you look at the big names, they still fetch very nice prices.

Greeting,

Nick.

I can't help it, but I will never become a Hergé lover. Somehow I think he is rather a limited artist.

About 7 Jo, Suus and Joko's, about the same number of Quick and Flupkes, one Leo and the Lapina's and then about twenty quiffles, half of the version we know are redrawn versions (by the studio!) of older stories (for lack of creativity for new ones?).

This is probably way too blunt and an insult to the Tintin collector, but compared to The 93 creations / worlds that Vandersteen came up with, this is not so impressive.

I also consider a Jijé much higher in terms of creativity and originality. I think motivating a whole group of people around you and inciting to the most unique comics is better than trying to put a whole generation in a straitjacket to be able to stand next to him in his weekly magazine.

Which does not mean that I can read the Tintins (and also have them in my closet) and that I have all the respect for this founder, but the glorification goes a bit too far (and the associated prizes too).

You may always correct me should you have thought otherwise.

There are quite a few that are good. I think 'De Zaak Zonnebloem' and 'The Cigars of the Pharaoh' are very good, but there are also some stinkers in them.

By the way, Hergé is a weird person, this summer read one of his biographies . Good book, recommended! And it is indeed very strange that since the 60s nothing has been released except endless reissues.

I have bid before, but for a Lever commercial booklet with Michel Vaillant and Lucky Luke it got serious. And I have the book! Sent neatly by registered mail by Adhemar. As an extra he had used all old Dutch stamps for shipping. With the 2012 stamp on it, I can make someone happy again. Top!

Just made an offer for a number of Tintins. There are a few that are currently hugely undervalued. Of the French-speaking Tintins, that is. So I don't think there are that many international bidders at the Hergé auction. For the rest, nice prizes are achieved.

Nick.

Again nothing won, but don't worry there are still the shops.

Had an eye on this Hergé Cromo albums . Went for 100 per album, no idea what it's really worth, I'm not a Hergé connoisseur.

And then suddenly in the last minute it goes to 700 Euro. Ibazar revisited ;-)

Hi Scam,

those chromo albums have been around the price of 150 € / piece for years now. In good condition and fully understood. 700 € is therefore a bit above that price.

This time I made a number of bids but since I was not at home last night, so outbid on everything. But don't worry, Tintin is not my favorite gathering area.

Greetings,

Nick.

Congratulations
