La Mauvaise Tête ran in Spirou from issue 840 to issue 869, which corresponds to week 49 of that year. It seems unlikely to me that the album was released in the same year. Source: BD Oubilées.

In the past, I have encountered an unwritten rule at FDCs that for the UK, only one firm is listed per FDC.

I am not aware of it Helv and it also seems to me like a somewhat nonsensical unwritten rule.

If the items are transferred (except for the postmark, of course), please add an extra field under Stamps, Postmark Office. Postmark Office is a good filter function and is also listed on the relevant item, making it easy for an importer to copy.
In the past, I have encountered an unwritten rule at FDCs that only one firm is listed per FDC for the UK. I believe this is not yet stated very clearly in the current handbook, but it will undoubtedly spark some discussion one way or another.

In any case, the items I found under Other with a first-day stamp are now listed under Series, First-Day Stamp . If I find others, I will add them here as well.

If the items are transferred (except for the postmark, of course), please include an extra field under Stamps, Postmark Office. Postmark Office is a good filter function and is also located on the relevant item, making it easy for an entry clerk to copy. I will not say anything further about perforation or fluorescence, etc.

And then an extra field where one can enter the postal code, department, state, etc. These are also details often included on a stamp and are easily filterable. I have now indicated these in the sub-series.

Personally, I had indicated "Schrijf een taartje" as the Issue group, with the cake name in the title and displayed as empty.
Charles1971 I completely agree. I thought the discussion was heading in that direction too. But imagine my surprise portbetaald? You're undoing your own improvements????

I don't know, but I have a paper copy from 2017-2018.
I think the publication date and the album release date are being confused. In the 1950s, there were often several years between the two dates.

The Basic Handbook says this, among other things, about the field Title:


At Postzegels, a third option is apparently applied: identical titles to keep the page visually uncluttered. That is fine in itself, but then after line 1 or 2.

Rule 1 is 'Choose a relevant title,' and that seems to confirm that specific to each stamp is, in principle, better.
I think our users have more comments on Rule 2.9:
An administrator may decide to modify a title if it contains errors or for reasons of uniformity and recognizability of the catalog.

Every User (and Administrator) has the right to correct errors.
What uniformity is must become clear precisely from the rules.

In the recent past, the principle was that all commemorative stamps in an issue bear the same title. However, for postage stamp issues featuring many diverse subjects, the title was adapted to the specific stamp (to avoid titles such as "Postage Stamp" or "Miscellaneous").

It briefly escaped me that this was intentionally changed, as az60 indicates.
What is certain is that it is not stated like that in the manual.

Incidentally, with the introduction of Issue Group, it has become more difficult to maintain identical names (or, when merging issues into a group, the title must also be adjusted).

portbetaald
Incidentally, the issue should have been "2026 Write a little cake" (as issued by PostNL) rather than "2026 Cakes" (entered by the first importer and left as is by me).
That is sensible. For larger releases, a manager can do that faster.

Moving items from Stamps to Other now based on outdated rules, and then moving them back later, does not seem efficient to me.

Agreed. It is much more efficient if the description of First Day Tickets is quickly adjusted so that the typical Dutch description is converted into international products.
The direction towards further internationalization was set in motion by management a long time ago; it remains irritating that a decision cannot be made quickly regarding these kinds of outdated matters.

Handbook of Stamps First Day Cards limited to issues of the Huisman firm.
Because this rule does not align with the current internationalization policy, it has already been discussed extensively in the past in the Super-Administrators' meeting (you can search by the subject 'Eerstedagkaart'), the administrators' forum, and the public forum (https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/community/topics/38221-opheffen-soort-eerstedagkaart).

The decision was that First Day Cards would be extended to all relevant products (most of which are paper-based). The only thing hanging over implementation was a proposal from a Super-Administrator to merge all First Day products into one type (instead of three).
No proponents of that could be found on either forum.

The concrete proposal now is to keep the existing 3 types separate until further notice.
The problem here is that, in my opinion, we cannot make a very clear distinction between the First Day Card and the First Day Paper; a grey area will continue to exist for the time being.

The action that still needs to be taken is to update the text regarding the First Day Ticket on the background page and in the handbook. tomdejong can you take the lead on that again?

Moving items from Stamps to Other now, and then back again, based on outdated rules, seems inefficient to me, nor kind to the limited number of administrators who have these rights (like Collectioneur ).

Helv I can only conclude that Charles1971 is entirely right that the Stamp First Day Covers handbook restricts it to issues by the Huisman firm. Without any knowledge of the context, that seems to me a rather arbitrary exception, since the phenomenon appears to be more widely known. If other super-administrators feel the same way, an amended text can of course be added to legitimize transferring these cards from 'Other' to 'Stamps'.

Helv Please use my handle tomdejong as CM. tdejong is an old account whose notifications I could easily have missed (I'll clean that up sometime). I'll stick to the topic of this thread for now. The LastDodo basic manual is quite clear that the title field (which appears in all categories) provides a description of the item and not of a group to which it belongs.

As far as I can interpret the text in the Stamps Handbook, it does not indicate any deviation from that rule. Rule 1 is 'Choose a relevant title,' and that seems to confirm that being specific to each stamp is, in principle, better. This is my 'neutral' view of what is stated in the handbook, but if that differs from how (super)administrators view the matter, then we will need to ensure that the handbook aligns with the current approach.

Just before the weekend, we had a meeting with (most) super-administrators. This topic was not yet on the agenda, but I will add it for the next meeting.

Unfortunately, an administrator cannot choose that per item. It is "always" or "never". There is little politics in that.

Is this correct? Or can something be changed here? Because if collectors indicate,

Yes, that is correct. Auto-review can be turned on or off for administrators, but cannot be determined on a case-by-case basis. It is up to (super)administrators to decide amongst themselves whether they want to turn it on (and for whom).

In the catalogue, this album (La Mauvaise Tete) is listed as a 1956 first edition, but the actual French first edition is from 1954. Even now, in the current auction, a 1956 copy is listed as the first edition. That is incorrect. It should be corrected in the catalogue.

That was primarily about keeping the issue together. It really seems like a different subject to me, except that this one probably also suffers from a handbook versus current events.
I think the manual is clear in this case.
tdejong might want to look into this as well.
