It took a little more time than usual (it remains the eternal battle with deadline) , but the new auction has been published with a list that will make you look lazily.

Beautiful Blake & amp; Mortimer publications, including the famous S.O.S. meteors. But also new luxury editions.
Many Suske en Wiske special pieces.
Buck Danny's, some even in mint condition.
Tintin, various 1st editions + old reprints. also the original A3 printing plate of the Tintin endpapers.
Bommel and Tom Poes are of course also included in beautiful editions.
Guust, 1st editions in oblong format.
Redbeard, the much sought after part 30 The Pirate War
Some very nice figurines and a great statue
Special Franka items
Heinz 1st editions.
Fonske, the first 3 parts of Brabant Strip
Complete series in hard and softcover
Originals and silkscreens.

These are now the so-called viewing days of the auction. Questions etc. about the auction and the lots can be directed to the auctioneer.

The auction will open for bids on Friday at 12:00 noon and the closing is as usual from Monday at 8:00 pm.

Good luck and have fun.

De Fonskes mention a numbered edition of 650 copies on the title page, and 25 Roman numbered for the employees. (The Roman numbers were also signed by Marc Sleen).

These Fonske's on offer are therefore numbered at 650. However, I don't know why 2 of them have number 000/650.

Lot 29 had not yet struck me (because the number is not in the subtitle).

Who starts numbering at zero? And if you number up to 650 (and up to XXV), then a book with number 000/675 is very strange.

Numbers don't really interest me, so I wouldn't have a problem with them –– if this comic were of interest to me at all. Hopefully not the bidders either.

P.S. I also come across Catawiki everywhere . Clearing your cookies regularly may help.

I would like to see a picture of the page with that number, but it is just not there. Couldn't it just be that there was a mountain unnumbered left and that they numbered it with 000 for the sake of convenience?

Uh, the Romans didn't know the number 0. So this CANNOT be a roman numbered album. :-)

Agree with Arco that this smells very much like leftover lot.

I recently bought a blake en mortimer with a good / very good cover at the auction.

Now I received the book and the cover looks very nice, but especially compared to the condition of the rest of this hardcover from 1951 or so.

Does Catawiki have standards for this?

Is there quality control for counterfeits or does wiki auction also check the

content of what is offered?

I will contact you about this subject by email. Although it is a matter between buyer and seller, we would like to hear what is going on.

@ Auctioneer, would oblige to post photos and no longer allow scans of Antiquarian Albums.

would oblige to have photos posted and no longer allow scans of Antiquarian Albums.

I think it would be more practical to require a minimum number of photos / scans and which parts should be visible on them (so in addition to the covers, parts such as, spine, endpapers, corners, etc.)

We don't know what exactly is going on here yet.

making your own scans / photos mandatory is the first. A number of guidelines could indeed be made for this, also the advantage that the scans are still visible for the time being (So in case of a dispute, the offer can still be viewed).

Until now we can still view the auctions (lot) I do not know if there are already agreements on how long this lot will remain visible or whether they will be archived?

I hope that learning is learned from this and that feedback takes place without immediately nailing anyone to the damage post.

As is known, I am an advocate of own scan, especially when selling. Fortunately, this has already been realized at the auction and is monitored by the auctioneer and also corrected during the so-called auction days where everyone can pass on the comments to him and what he then immediately short-circuits with the supplier, which only makes the auction more reliable. makes and also explained the success.

Have you said it several times: for albums like this the 'Catawiki conditions' (except Mint condition) cannot be used. So avoid using 'Good condition' there.

What Rik says: images of all critical parts. For example in the Lombard Collection they are very well known: spine, corner points, planing front and back cover, folding endpapers, Tintin point ...

I have my doubts about whether photos are better than scans. That depends on the camera and the photographer. Scans are generally clearer, but you won't get a full Lombard HC on them and unfold the album to put on the scanner: panic!

I think scans are better for showing the front and back cover. You need photos for a good assessment of the back and vertices. So it will be a combination of photos and scans ...

indeed, as Rik says, only scans from the front and back and the rest of the photos. However, it remains very difficult to take a picture of the inside of a new condition Dupuis (Buck Danny no.1), I would certainly not dare, the spine is so cracked ...

But in new condition, sharp photos are more than enough, you can just show all angles, etc. And the description will do the rest.

I will contact you about this subject by email. Although it is a matter between buyer and seller, we would like to hear what is going on.

Information has been obtained and the problem can be traced back to the fact that the buyer is (still) uncertain about the back. He wants to be sure that he is getting value for money. Because of his doubts, he wondered whether Catawiki itself guarantees this or can supervise it (see the Catawiki auction conditions for this).

The buyer will determine whether the beautiful spine is original. In case of permanent doubt, this may be further processed with the seller (who has not yet been in contact with) . The buyer would prefer to receive a certificate of authenticity (just like with paintings) with every lot, but realizes that this is usually not possible.


Probably nothing is wrong, however, this requires an adjustment for placing lots at the auction.

At future auctions for lots with antiquarian books, we will have it stated that everything is original or (and what) has possibly been restored.

The viewing days of the Comic Auction are over and serious work has begun opening up for bids.

All lots start with 1 euro, without a reserve price. This means that with every bid the relevant lots will in any case be awarded to the highest bidder. The risk that sellers take with this is nevertheless considerable. Experience shows that they run less risk with the more expensive lots than with the cheaper ones. They sometimes remain at a very attractive level and the winners often have something really great for little money.

I already reported in an earlier post that the current lot list contains very nice items. In the meantime, many bidders have apparently taken the tips to heart, because more than 400 bids have already been made in those 4 hours!

It is also nice that the concept of the minimum bidding steps is now well understood, in the sense that larger steps can also be taken.

The first lot of the auction closes from 8 pm on Monday, the remaining lots after 90 seconds. That is, if there are no further bids during the extension period, such as during the previous auctions. This means that if a bid is submitted during the last 60 seconds of the lot, the end time of this lot will be extended by 1 minute. This will continue until there are no more bids on this lot. Be careful: the following lots will expire during the extension.

Good luck bidding and have fun watching.
