At the moment only the wood-containing version is there, while I assume most people have the wood-free version - otherwise the same of course… Can it be copied to correct it? (just new, so still trying to find out how to change / make suggestions)

About the naming: it is somewhat confusing that the “round spine” is mentioned in the category of the 1st HC series, because there are also albums with a flat spine in between and it does not seem useful to me there is a separate category for this (are now also under “round back”)

Think it only makes sense if both versions exist and then to a sufficient extent.
Otherwise it is better to keep them together and distinguish them with a “no addition” and notation of the details. But then it would be best to change the “album series” name
Didn't particularly study Tintin so I can't say what would be the best.
Not enough knowledge in the matter.
Feel free to give your idea about it. Maybe some administrators in this particular staging area can pick it up.

Looks like a lot still needs to be done at Tintin (I am talking about the 1st series hc) - it seems to me that a series that is collected a lot. Or the question is how information from “Tintin in sight” can / may be used? Every collector of NL Kuifjes will know that information anyway ... I think people prefer to post scans of albums in good condition - most of my albums, for example, don't produce the best pictures, but if they offer something better they are nice placeholders ;-) take some time off
The Tintin albums, Lombard series etc. could use an extra category under state, because many novice collectors start (especially for the most difficult albums) with copies that can at most be called “mediocre”. They now come under reasonable, but deserve explanation for their own collection or they could be for sale in a shop. It is arbitrary which series / albums that should be of course…

I have consulted Peter Ottens and actually he does not - yet - want his booklet to be used. He is especially afraid that sales will stagnate.
But it is so clearly defined that I use the booklet to possibly date and correct Tintin HC 1st series of books.

There is now a wood-containing copy in the auction stating that it has a French section numbering - does the French section numbering also appear in the wood-free version? Otherwise I will not have a discolored wood-free version (in bad condition) but a wood-containing version (in bad condition) ;-)

Thanks in advance!

the wood-containing version (the 1st edition) is significantly thicker than the wood-free version. Almost 1.5 times as thick, so easy to spot.

Daarom dacht ik ook zeker te weten dat ik een verkleurde houtvrije versie had, maar omdat er zo de nadruk op wordt gelegd in de veiling dat het album een Franstalige katernnummering heeft ging ik twijfelen... Maar nu niet meer :-)

That's why I thought I knew for sure that I had a discolored wood-free version, but because it is so emphasized in the auction that the album has a French section numbering, I started to doubt... But not anymore :-)

I have never posted anything on this forum (although I have often looked at the Catawiki forum), but I see something here that I also noticed, namely that the wood-containing version would be characterized by a French section numbering + abbreviated title (including at the bottom on page 15), as stated in the auction, a few weeks ago. This is an incorrect statement, as both the wood-containing and the wood-free version had this. The only difference between the two versions is the paper type and thus the thickness of the album as a whole.

The wood-containing star is not equal in thickness to the wood-containing Unicorn and the Black rocks and is roughly between the wood-containing and wood-free rocks in terms of thickness, which immediately explains why there are so few because the wood-containing paper was too thin, making it very easy. tears / breaks.
