stripspeldjes As a collector I agreed with Collectioneur, because to me the distinction is not relevant. But I'm fine with either outcome, as long as the current divide disappears (I think we all agree on that). I think it would be nice to send a message to all collectors, so that they have the opportunity to transfer their copy to the correct variant. But first a formal decision must be made about the method to be used.

Collectioneur Sorry, I saw a long list of sections in your profile and quickly assumed that you were the administrator of all sections. Thanks in advance to Jilles!

Of course I have already contacted adhemar. He told me it was a wrapper/cover. But he doesn't have it.
But I have already sent a message to the artist. Maybe he can help me.

My collection in Lastdodo is no longer current. Got rid of some and bought many new books. Checking and adjusting everything is more work than rebuilding my collection I think. What is the fastest way to delete all old data?

I just realized that you are also a manager of Books.

No, I am not an administrator at Boeken.
There are a number of people (including myself) who can migrate items from one section to another. In this particular case, I'll leave this to Jilles

Given the creases, the dust jacket is shown on the left (and the soft cover on the right). The same cover is also shown as Fig. 3 #10237759 (the regular edition).
I understand that there are 4 color variants of the album (3 of which are limited edition), perhaps the dust jacket was combined with all versions?
In any case, you could ask for adhemar (as I suspect he put his copies up for sale before the cover info was added).

As far as I'm concerned, the a, b and a/b variants are all combined as a variant (1st edition).
This is not in accordance with the Manual and not in accordance with the practice over the past 14 years. Two clearly distinguishable variants (no matter how small the difference) are two separate items.

#389861 must disappear. This is the comic version of the "basic stamp" at Stamps. The seller should get a message, perhaps the collectors too, but if they don't care which version they have, it doesn't really matter which version this item is merged with.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple015steef500
The album there is indeed different, but that applies to the color of the cover.
The cover I mean is separate from that and I already know that it will not be offered for sale.

I am looking for the more chaste cover/wrapper as it was released for Rooie Oortjes 1 (new series) during the Comics Fair in the church in Deventer.
Can anyone help me with that? I have already asked the publisher, but he does not respond...

Collectioneur Speaking of merging... I just realized you're also a manager of Books. It incorrectly contains 3 comic book editions of Bonanza (double). Could you, on occasion, merge that with the correct entry at Strips? Thank you!

>>> Were those colors deliberately mixed up by the printer or was this a coincidence because the printing plates for another plate were placed the other way around?

I'm not sure, but I suspect it's a coincidence.

>>> I don't think this is a variant for comic books, such as a reprint, different cover, extra pages.

I agree. And given the presence of the entry in which the distinction is not made, most collectors and sellers on LD do not find the distinction relevant.

>>> What is not possible in any case is the distinction between a, a/b and b. The choice is to accept variants based on the starting color (a or b) or not accept this as a variant.

The designation a/b is a temporary solution to clarify the relationship with the variants in which the distinction is made based on initial color. In the details of the a/b variant I have indicated exactly what you write here, namely that a choice is necessary about whether or not to distinguish.

>>> My personal opinion is that we should not go down this path. I am certainly curious about the opinions of other collectors/manager.

At sometime. As far as I'm concerned, the a, b and a/b variants are all combined as a variant (1st edition).

Jilles You're right: my statement was too simplistic. In fact, almost all Marvel and DC comics are now released with two or more different covers, so it certainly happens. However, I don't think that is the issue here, especially because the Dennis advertisement refers to series that have only just been released. were started later (and do not appear in the overview of ZNU publications that appears on the back cover of the first edition).

I'm pretty sure that's not just one edition, because there's no reason why two or more different designs for the front or back covers would be used in one edition.
Four variants are known of the first edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker. I don't know why a publisher does this, but it does happen.

Just a specific example: Bonanza #1 from ZNU is available in no fewer than 5 variants in the catalogue. I'm pretty sure that's not just one edition, because there's no reason why two or more different designs for the front or back covers would be used in one edition. I assume that the version with the overview of ZNU publications is the 1st edition and the version with the Dennis advertisement is a reprint (since it lists series that were still missing from the overview of ZNU publications and were only published in 1961). have started). There are two separate variants with Dennis on the back, which differ in the text on the cover and the way in which the number is indicated. One of those variants is clearly based on the book edition that came out around the same time (the book says TV album 1, the word album has been removed from the comic). I wouldn't know which of those two variants was released first and in what year it was (the copyright year is 1960, just like everywhere else).

Then a special phenomenon occurs, because a general entry was first created for the version with ZNU publications on the back (https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/items/389861-ben-cartwright-en-zijn-zonen -in-a-battle-between-greedy-colonists-and-bloodthirsty-Indians). Later, separate entries were added for the variants that start with brown pages and the variant that starts with green pages. Actually, one of two things should happen: either the general entry should be split between the two separate entries, or the two separate entries should be merged with the general one. The first is virtually impossible (because then all collectors and shops would have to check whether their variant starts with a brown or a green page). The second would mean that we decide that the order of the colors is not relevant as a variant. For now I have solved it by giving the two separate entries a subnumber a and b and the general entry subnumber 'a/b', which makes it clear that it is actually a mixture of the specific variants. I'm curious if other administrators have ever had something like this happen.

Yes, I found it, there are other examples from 1947. The cover is missing but otherwise exactly the same. So I adjusted it.

So #10324627 . I don't have any copies to compare, but given the number of "happy tales" I would bet on #39664 or #26385 (which are indistinguishable without a cover).

There's no identification anywhere... otherwise I wouldn't ask. I think it's before 1945. But can't find it anywhere. The images are included.

I just went through all the registrations of ZNU's Tele Adventures with a dust comb (series such as Lone Ranger, Bonanza, Fury, Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, etc.). In the Books section there were a number of duplicates of items that actually concern Comics, but hopefully this will be resolved by the administrators there in response to my 'duplicate' indications. I do wonder what the situation is with the different variants of many of the ZNU publications. In almost all cases they are all referred to as 1st edition (but with differences in terms of back cover and coloring of the pages), except for Tom and Jerry #4. The importer has indicated that the edition without colored pages is a 2nd edition. Does anyone know if that is really the case? Is there a source known with more information about the year of publication of the various editions?
