The cover (front and back) of the softcover Ton en Tinneke 4 is in Dutch but the book block is French...
Is this considered a new copy (wrong printing) and does the value increase (like with stamps :-)

bartwittoek Twice no.

We never include misprints in the catalogue unless they are a large batch that has been reported by the publisher.

Misprints are damaged albums and are therefore worthless from the point of view of the comics section, but the golden LD rule also applies here:

“If it exists it will be collected.”

This is a curiosity and there are indeed people who collect these...

Thanks Rik for the explanation

The same goes for the book: Belgium Stripped (cover = French and interior Dutch) - are there still copies like this?

You can assume that with almost every printing of an album there are faulty copies.
These are usually binding errors such as incorrect book block, sections missing from a book block or in the wrong order, endpaper errors, etc.
They are usually picked out by quality control and thrown in the trash.
So there may still be such a copy, but I can't be sure.
