You could first have a look in the catalog at:

The precious hardcovers with linen backs. (1946- 1960)

The soft covers with linen backs . (1960-1969)

A normal comic is that a softcover then? because they are from 1946 and it is not a hard cover I think. or am I wrong about this?

There are no softcover Tintins from 1946. This year concerns the year of copyrights and was mentioned well into the 1970s.

If your albums do not have a linen back but a paper back, then it concerns albums from 1970 or later.

See if you find your albums here .

That's the problem with Tintin albums. There is a year somewhere, but they can only be identified properly when we see pictures. From the front and the back.

A regular comic is that a softcover?

Yes.

because they are from 1946

The year you find is the year the first edition was published. The reissues still say that same year. So you can't go for that.

You have to compare the backs of the albums, that's the only way.

The easiest thing is if you use the link of rikMooren and have a look yourself.

You can of course also paste a photo somewhere on the net and then add the link here, then we'll have a look. . It is not possible to post a photo here.

Have looked at the catalog what rikmooren sent and here they are indeed between hardcovers with linen backs. Where can I best sell them?
