The covers then also had a shine. Maybe an attempt to stand out more on the shelf? ....or a change of printing company?

It states ; Numbers 67 to 81 appeared in ONE 'Matte' and 'Laminated' edition. These editions are otherwise identical. It is generally assumed that the 'Matte' version is the first edition........... Moreover, I think at 75a on the fold line and to the left of the number (in the circle) you can see that the plastic let go, as with many plasticized editions of that time.
The question is whether there are 2 matte copies of No. 75, or whether No. 75A has an incorrect photo.

The folder containing the papers is from the exhibition itself. This is a white folder/folder with printed text with the name of the exhibition.

I have a folder/folder from the Tout Hergé exhibition with papers about the 1991 Tout Hergé exhibition by Welkenraedt. It contains pages about the exhibition rooms, about Hergé himself, advertising material and an (original) black and white photo of Tchang.

Does anyone know if this is an official press kit of the exhibition or was it made by a journalist who was present at the exhibition?

hello, are you talking about these albums? #27159 #741279 ?

Are you sure that one book has a plastic layer, I can't tell.

It seems to me that a publisher published an album in laminated comics, especially at that time, was that "technique" already available then? And if it is indeed a strip with a layer, then I suspect that it was previously applied by the importer or the retailer where he purchased it at the time.

Question, about Suske and Wiske 1st editions no. 75 Mini Ant Nest.
Is it correct that the 1st edition no.75 and the 2nd edition no.75a are both in matte edition? The photos at number 75a are from a plasticized album, right? And that 75B is the 3rd edition but a 1st plasticized edition... Or did someone simply remove the plastic and there is no 75a.

So stickers on sheets, with old or new prices: as far as I'm concerned, the value is at least halved, and if they cannot be removed, there is at most a residual value as old paper or something like that.

I clench my hands when I get my hands on an Old Playboy with MM in good condition with a sticker on old paper??? more 100$ plus , just mail with or without to avoid disappointment

An interesting discussion again on LastDodo.
With a number of interesting points of view, which cannot be reconciled in one unambiguous definition.

Agree with most of it. Magazines are often not in new condition. If there is a cellophane around it, then yes. But otherwise it is difficult to determine. Also because people browse through them in stores.
Even almost new is not that common, in my opinion.

When I offer magazines, my highest quality is generally good condition. But yes, I think so. New and almost new are exceptions for me.

I also think that adjusting that quality indicator is a bit short-sighted. Just as Tammo indicates. First think about it before we adjust things that are then difficult to reverse.

I'm going to read this thread carefully a few times and let it sink in. The options and thoughts are fine, by the way. I can do something with this.

What about adding comments about condition by sellers. I especially agree with this for the comics-related items in Magazines and Newspapers. For the rest, a little less (usually), because it is less important there.

I'll get back to it, but it might take a while. This will keep me busy for the next few days, I can already say that. :D

By the way, I understand the frustration of vergetenboek very well. That's not the issue.

And Raoul62 thanks for introducing me to this thread. Otherwise I would most likely have missed it.

Gr. Peter

If magazines on LastDodo are shown without a sticker on the front, I assume that is the original 'look'. It seems normal to me that a seller indicates that his copy differs in that sense from the depicted copy. And of course: your own scan (preferably one that shows something and that does not only show pixels after 1 enlargement) or photo is always better.
I have never heard of regular 'normal' and longer-running magazines that were sold separately with price labels as standard. If so, then it was a hobby of the retailer himself or it concerns a sticker from a second-hand copy at that time.
And again: not every collector will be bothered by it. Many do. And in practice, magazines show that 95% of them cannot be removed without discoloration or damage. So I just don't want those things. Hopefully I'll remember to mention it again with every order. It's just a shame that some sellers simply answer that they don't have time to check that. Apparently the customer has to take the risk and send them back afterwards and so on. Bizarre of course if you indicate it in advance. But yes, there are quite a few bizarre sellers.

As pegag said:
An album in new condition may only have stickers applied to it by the publisher.

If things are important to you as a buyer (such as price stickers), it is advisable to ask specifically when ordering.

Including it in a manual makes little sense. Anyone who adds items barely reads that manual. Those who sell even less, and those who only buy will not read it at all.
The explanation of the conditions is present where it matters. It only takes one click and you know it (is in front of you).
The conditions have an i (in a blue circle) with literally 'Explanation of conditions' as a link next to it. Double. For those who cannot read the symbol, and for those who do not understand symbols as text.
If you mention it, you as a buyer always have a point.

A general mention could be added in that 'conditions overview' info window, right?
"Please note: if the offered item has a (price) sticker, this must be mentioned in the comments! It is of course better to add your own image of the offered object."

Or something.
Currently...
If one is now traded as 'near new condition' and there is a sticker on it, then you don't have a leg to stand on (if the object has no signs of wear).

Don't want to change this too quickly.
Many collectors of different magazines would like a price sticker (placed by the retailer) on the magazine and believe that this has added value.

The fact is that here too (as in all sections) it must be mentioned. Preferably with clear photos. But apparently buyers don't care much about that, because the items without their own images are being sold in abundance.

I responded as a non-expert, regarding magazines, with the knowledge that LD makes available.
DeBijzaak
Perhaps the descriptions of the conditions in magazines should be expanded a little?
I posted a screenshot of the current description, and didn't see anything about a (price) sticker there. If that's a source of annoyance for more serious collectors...
Fortunately, I have never offered a magazine on LD, I may have done it wrong. Just as many people are now apparently doing it wrong.
Actually, if one is traded as 'near new condition' and there is a sticker on it, then you don't have a leg to stand on (if the object has no signs of wear).

I would say, only buy in shops where photos have been posted by the seller, and look carefully at the photos of the item on offer, then you will automatically see whether there is a price label. And if in doubt... ask the seller before ordering the item. This way you avoid later surprises.

Of course it means nothing if the word 'sticker' is not in the description. The word 'perforation' is also not included, but most people will also refer to perforation as damage.
It is not without reason that the 'modest name inside' clearly states: 'if stated'. The plague on LD is precisely the latter. Most sellers are still able to click on 'good' or 'near new condition'. What else is included in the descriptions is eighty percent irrelevant nonsense and what should be there is usually not there. What good is a 'read once' comment? It doesn't matter if it turns out that after reading the coffee was thrown over it, does it? Or that someone has read it with jam/peanut butter, preferably in combination, his or her fingers?
So stupid meaningless information. Just like 'pretty nice quality'. Well, nine times out of ten without a decent image. If attachments are mentioned in the LD description, almost no seller takes the trouble to indicate whether or not they are present.
I recently received three more magazines, otherwise in really new condition, but with store stickers on the front. They really don't belong there because there is a barcode printed on the back. There is also no sticker on the images on LD. So no 'sentimental' value etc. By the way, that is also just an assumption. There are also magazines that have been 'second hand' (i.e. 28th hand or so) for so long that a dealer sticker could just appear on them over the years. I only assume that they are original stickers, if they are also depicted on LD as standard. And then there really aren't that many left.
So stickers on sheets, with old or new prices: as far as I'm concerned, the value is at least halved, and if they cannot be removed, there is at most a residual value as old paper or something like that.

Or you have to look at it positively.
I am neither an expert nor a collector of magazines, but I would rather think that a price sticker on (older) magazines is an added value...
The nostalgic message it radiates, when you can see that it was once for sale for 5 Francs (Belgian Francs) or 25 cents (0.25 Dutch Guilders). Informative yet an added value...
New condition, I imagine 'as it was for sale in the store'. In the past, this was always with individual price stickers.
Nowadays there is no price sticker anywhere anymore. Sometimes larger stickers with codes, bars and complicated 'QR' drawings.
Once sold, I would think that the condition would always be 'near new condition' - or lower. From that moment on it is second-hand?

Perhaps that is the reason for not mentioning it. In the shops of non-specialists (like me) who look at it differently compared to the real specialists (the die-hards).
In Magazines, in the explanation of the conditions, I can't find anything about price or other stickers.



I would not offer a magazine with a price sticker on it that looks completely new (virgin as if never used) as 'Good condition'...
Or am I missing something?

Most price stickers only come off albums with sturdy and smooth covers. When it comes to price stickers on magazines, you can forget about it completely. I have received them here in absolutely all shapes and sizes (unfortunately usually with the description 'near new condition', so without mentioning those stickers) and there are virtually no stickers that can be properly removed from a paper magazine. Because either you tear the sheet apart, or you have to make it so wet/warm that it will no longer be slippery even if you were to remove the sticker. Sticker remover works on some albums (plasticized bindings) but eats away ink on many other albums and on almost all magazines, causing white spots to form where and around the sticker.
Stickers on magazines are always disastrous. It also bothers me quite a bit that many (top) traders are still too lazy to mention such a sticker, while they do list magazines as '(almost) new condition'. These people run a great risk of only selling something to me once. I collect magazines with at least a 'clean' front cover. So every song that has such a dirty thing on it is immediately back on my search list. If you then order five magazines to make the postage somewhat acceptable and three of those 'stickered' things are included, you will spend twice as much money and even fewer new magazines than expected.
From now on I will mention it with every order. Can sellers complain about that again, because then I am of course a whiner who is never satisfied (it is strange that of my more than 1000 feedbacks, less than 10 were negative, so why am I never satisfied?)
In answer to the original question: magazines with price stickers are by definition never new condition or near new condition. At most 'reasonable' in my opinion. The same applies to address stickers, although they are often original. But that should also be mentioned and even then you cannot speak of 'new condition' in my opinion.
It should always be mentioned anyway, both on albums and on magazines.

Where did/do you see that it has not yet been adjusted?

"Legend of the Scarlet Clouds" has been adapted to the English language field.
