In the magazine 'Sjors van de Rebelclub' there is only a b-number (the Belgian edition mentioned) for some years of various issues. When I try to add a Dutch edition as well, it doesn't work because no image is available.
It turns out that various sellers of misery then place their Dutch edition under the Belgian number, so that the confusion becomes even more complete .
A suggestion: please separate those series. Place all Belgian numbers together and all Dutch numbers too. That's right from that a and b thing. This was done in the comparable situation of Sjors in the 1930s and 1940s. It is therefore illogical to start placing them all together in the fifties.

And what I don't understand is that you can't place a missing number in a volume if you don't have an image. I can't scan what I don't have. But if there is a year in the catalog, it is logical that all issues are listed. Just then a new collector and/or seller will place the item under the correct number.

Greet!

The Dutch and Belgian editions of the magazine may have different front and/or back sides.
Even though the differences may be very small, scans or photos must be entered of the original copies that are not yet in the catalog

The editions are exactly the same except for the mention of the publisher.

And it is not about whether the images are correct, but why an item without an image cannot be placed. Surely there are sheets of which it is 100% certain that they exist, but of which no image is available? In that case it is better for the sake of completeness to post those numbers without an image. I see that in a lot of (especially older) magazines. So why can't you? As I said above: it is now doubly confusing because, firstly, several 'regular' (read: Dutch) numbers are missing from the overview and because there is also an almost identical Belgian edition that subsequently - also incomplete! - is placed between the Dutch. I've even seen offers from sellers who put it under the Belgian numbering and then in their description 'Dutch edition!' to make.
The best way to avoid this kind of hassle is to simply list all the numbers per sequence, whether an image is available or not. And also make a separate magazine title for the Belgian edition, just like with the editions of Sjors from the thirties.

The Dutch and Belgian editions are not exactly the same, otherwise you can't tell them apart... At least one distinguishing feature must be visible! For example, the differences in the publisher's text or the price in francs or guilders.

"It appears that various sellers of misery then place their Dutch edition under the Belgian number, so that the confusion becomes even more complete."
Apparently these sellers are not so miserable that they take the (small) effort to include the Dutch item, with image, in the catalog. And only the person who owns an item can be absolutely sure that the item exists. There are plenty of examples where it makes sense that a certain item should be there, but doesn't exist.

This is not allowed by the way. You should always offer the right catalog item. See also the rules for sellers.

Apparently the policy has changed or is inconsistent. Because in the series 'Sjors NL 1930-1948' there are dozens of numbers without an image. The same goes for many other magazines.
In reply to Boekenmagazijn: a catalog should always strive for completeness. Collectors use a catalog to find out what they are still missing from a series. If the series is not fully listed, collectors will not know what they are missing. I think it is equally important that you can't put such an item on your search list, because according to LastDodo's logic it doesn't exist, so you can't search for it either. And especially if two series are mixed up under one series title, a supplier who knows less about it will almost by definition put his item under the wrong number if he does not find the correct number in the catalog. So there are several very good reasons to record those missing songs. If necessary, mention 'not yet observed' or something like that. Enough documentation has been published about these magazines (Matla, specific Sjors catalogues) to prove that the numbers not listed simply exist. I can understand that you don't do that when in doubt. But in this case, where everyone just knows and can verify that they do exist, it is a shortcoming in the catalog.
I am also curious what people think of my proposal to split those two series (Nl and Blg), just as happened with the series from 1930-1948. I think that would prevent a lot of confusion and wrong input and wrong offers. It is also very inconsistent to split it with the older series and not with this one. Because then what is the consideration, the policy?

Greetings!

vergetenboek , That's right. At the very beginning we started with a database that also contained comics without an image. Most of them have now been provided with an image, but not all of them yet.

If you come across comic items without an image, they were imported from Bonte's StripDatabank at the start of this catalog, in which many images were indeed missing.
That would definitely not be done now.
The majority of those covers have been added by users in the past 14 years.
And because that was not with some editions, there are also nonexistent items (from that database) came to light!

I think it is very important that you can't put such an item on your search list, because according to LastDodo's logic it doesn't exist, so you can't search for it either.

I agree that that's a weakness of LastDodo, from an active collector's point of view.

Even if you're collecting a certain theme, or author, you can't get items place in your search list that is not yet in the catalog (and of which you sometimes do not even know the existence). And the moment it is entered by someone, where it is often immediately for sale, you will not receive a notification about this. When you discover that later, you are sometimes already behind the net.

Personally I would really appreciate it if I would get a message sent , the moment an item with one of my search terms is added to the catalog (whether for sale or not).

About 4 years ago I went through the mountain of Sjors magazines together with  Arco. There were a lot of duplications in the file plus that the sheet changed its name. This led to the current classification of the Sjors magazines. We were already well advanced when we started to dub about the NLD and BEL performance of Sjors van de Rebelclub. Due to time constraints we decided to leave it as it is with the a and b versions.
After that other things started to come into play and we never got back to that.

For me it's fine to Belgian publications to be placed in a separate series: Sjors van de Rebelclub [BEL]. When those have been removed, the rest can be renamed by a super administrator to: Sjors van de Rebelclub [NLD].

Collectioneur I see that it concerns a limited number of years. Is the addition of the country code sufficient, or should the period also be stated, as in the previous Sjorsen. I don't know what the reason was for adding that at the time.

Those years were added at the time to indicate the different periods of the magazine Sjors (with the same name). The magazine Sjors van Rebelclub has only 1 period [1954-1968]. If there is a need to add that period indication, that is no problem.

By the way, the difference between NLD and BEL can be recognized by the price indication on the cover page. For example, in 1955 for NLD 25 cents and for BEL 3 fr.

The Dutch 'Sjors van de Rebelclub' appeared from 1954 to 1968. 
The Belgian one was there in 1955, but I don't know how long it lasted. LastDodo mentions at least one issue from 1958.
It is remarkable that for various years you can only see which edition it is on the back, and that many of the backs of 1958 are not shown.
If you look at the 1957 volume , LastDodo does not list a or b editions. But a small sample just now yields at least six songs with 'Antwerp' on the back. In other words: no a or b editions are mentioned, so you only expect Dutch editions, but it turns out that copies of the Belgian edition have been shown. The images from 1957 therefore relate partly (or possibly all, I have not checked all of that) to the Belgian instead of the Dutch.
So when I unsuspectingly order a 1957 number from a seller, based on the image, I expect a Belgian number. In practice I usually receive a Spaarnestad edition. And since they are not the cheapest leaves and there are also considerable postage costs, these are very expensive 'mistakes'.
Before you make any changes, it might be a good idea to find out how long the two editions have coexisted. And also to check carefully which editions are actually depicted in the catalog.

Sorry if I whine about this, but LastDodo itself always calls for efforts to improve catalog quality. Then something that is clearly 'substandard' must of course be raised.

Greetings again!

You are always welcome, like other users, if you want to make improvements to the catalog. If you recognize this, you can easily turn a NLD Sjors into a BEL Sjors.

A start has already been made with separating NLD and BEL.
Year 1955 of Sjors of the Rebelclub [BEL] and Sjors van de Rebelclub.
When adjusting the series name also directly adjusted the ISBN and Barcode.
With the NLD series, the "a" must be to be removed.

When all BEL versions have been transferred in due course, the name of the NLD edition can be changed to Sjors van de Rebelclub [NLD] (magazine).

I suspect that the two editions existed until 1959 issue 13 (ie the first quarter of 1959). From issue 14 the magazine was printed on different paper and a color cover was added. And from the same issue 14 onwards, both publishers are listed on the back (Spaarnestad and Tijdschriften Uitgevers Maatschappij). So with effect from 1959 no. 14 there is no longer a distinction between Nl and Blg.
Furthermore, I will do my best to adjust things if I am sure they are listed incorrectly. And if I have time, I'll post a few more missing scans from other years.

The point remains open about the catalog being incomplete. And thus the impossibility of putting things in your search list because they are not listed on LastDodo. I think the search list system is fantastic because I receive a notification when something pops up (unfortunately I often see it too late, haha but that aside). But it only works if what you're looking for is in the catalog. In concrete terms, this means that you cannot put a lot of things in your search list. And also that someone who wants to see everything that has appeared in a certain magazine, does not get a complete overview. Actually, that should be explicitly mentioned somewhere, because now LastDodo more or less presents itself as the catalog. I think that's a bottleneck, especially for collectors. At the same time, I fully understand the reasoning: what is not in the picture does not exist. But I think it's being used a bit extreme here. Something to think about again, I think.

And for today I think this is enough comics.

greeting

That's right Daan. In fact, the catalog's premise is to include only those things that have actually been shown to exist. Because we include 1 copy of all versions, proof of existence is essential. The shop and the list of values are derived from the items that are already in the catalog and not from the items that are still missing.

You are right about that. The certain BEL publications are now placed with Sjors van de Rebelclub [BEL] (magazine). A number of NLD items incorrectly showed the back of a BEL edition, those images have been removed.
Any missing BEL editions can be entered at Sjors van de Rebelclub [BEL] (magazine).

Om to keep it somewhat simple is my proposal to update the current Sjors of the Rebel Club (magazine) should keep it as he is now. So no hard cuts to make at 1959 part 14.

I've just been leafing through Sjors from the Rebel Club. There are several numbers on it with a front of the Belgian edition and the second image of the back of the Dutch edition.
With a number of volumes it is easy to see, because I have just gone through my own numbers here at home and the Dutch ones I have (not complete but many) ALWAYS have a date first. Several volumes of the Belgian edition are not dated at all and only have a number, or at most a year with the serial number. So if there is an image of a number without a date with a back that reads 'Spaarnestad', you can assume that it is wrong.
So far I have only seen that missing date on the front cover in the Belgian edition.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying there's never a date on it! But if the date is missing, it is a Belgian one. That way you can quickly pick up a lot that belong in the Belgian series.
As for that hard cut at no. 14 (1959): I don't think that's necessary either. If you separate the Nl and the Blg series, the Belgian just stops at 1959 nr 13. And the Dutch just continues.

Greetings again!

Already made a start with separating NLD and BEL.
Year 1955 of Sjors van de Rebelclub [BEL] and Sjors van de Rebelclub .

Just to be clear: does it make sense to change/add things or will it be reported here on the forum when the currently mentioned magazines have been moved or changed?
I think you can transfer some years to the Belgian edition in one go, others you can't. So if I now, for example, sit down in 1956 to change/add, while someone else is busy moving to another series, we get in each other's way.

Goodbye
