@metalfigures

Thank you for your answer, but can this misprint now be entered in the catalog or not.

That was actually the question.

ps. indeed a very nice price for a misprint.

No, don't do it.

At Books and Comics we have agreed almost from the start that we will not include these types of finishing errors (they are de facto not misprints) separately, because they are almost there for every book and that therefore leads to 'catalog pollution'. In practice, when a (comic) retailer or distributor comes across such a copy, it will immediately fold the cover, stick a 'return' note on it and return it to the distributor or publisher respectively. This also immediately indicates how much such a book is worth according to the regular trade. (;-)

Users who like this kind of bad copy can just include it in the Notes in their collection; actually in the same way as if you include a book with a non-standard attachment in your collection. And you can also add three of your own images.

With 'misprints' that we do include, it always concerns (a significant part of) the entire print run in which things went wrong and which were simply distributed by accident and then (usually) withdrawn from the trade. That is why those specific misprints are unambiguous and are generally known to a wide group of retailers and consumers.

From the past year I remember, for example, Biebel 4 (wrong cover) and a Batman (partly in black and white).

but there are, as Arco brings it nice, many islanders and unfortunately also among the administrators who jealously protect a collection area

@Metalfigures

I think I'm repeating myself because we've already had this discussion once, but come on:

All administrators at the comics will reject these misprints. Not because they jealously protect their collection area, but because there are very clear guidelines about what is or is not included in the catalog about that collection area.

I have had this discussion with Arco before and told him that the misprints on books are almost nil due to the strict final checks (I worked for a while at a printer myself). That also makes those books unique and it will only concern a very small number because if a few slip through and are also spotted and these collectors would also like to take the trouble to place them on CW, you cannot speak of catalog contamination. . ARCO "often too scared!"

Rik

Is another forum for those interested under our toy soldiers section

Guidelines that are made can also be changed! As long as that has not happened yet and Catawiki is not yet accessible to all collectors, we will often meet each other in forums and on different sections (I look forward to it).

What's with the option happened that you gave me on 23-02-2014

edit: You can always place your misprint in the section other
