Rene,
it's whether the devil is playing. I reread it yesterday! Yes, it is great. I actually love everything about Asterix.

Take a look at Agent 327, a series I'm working on today. I added the album series "Paraphernalia" there. Looks chic and covers the load.
Everything that is not a book or magazine can be classified under this category. Curiosa was indeed not the right word on closer inspection.

@arco
There are a few comic shops and comic sites that have pretty good pictures online. I managed to find quite a few good records of Donald Duck… And most albums are known to exist, so I don't think that's the problem. Plus, I think a small picture is better than no picture. If someone has a better picture and, for example, a backside, they can always replace my picture right?

I also see no objection to “borrowing” pictures, as long as it only concerns the cover. It often works faster than scanning. The pictures from Catawiki have a mark at the bottom right. Other sites don't have that.

The problem with this method is that there are hardly any pictures on the internet that are sufficiently large. And backsides of albums are almost impossible to find on the internet. So someone else has to do your work again later.
Actually, you can only add if you own an album yourself. That is also the only guarantee that the album actually exists.

And then at least I can immediately see how other people get 5000 comics in their collection, because I saw a collector with 2360 donald duck weekly magazines in his collection. Look, I can do it that way too ;-)

When I click on "my collections" and then on an album series, I find it interesting to see how many albums in that series, as well as the total number of comics in my collection on the left.

Is there any objection to picking cover images from other sites or from google? I do that now, because my own collection is not that big and so there is not much to scan :-) I do not see a problem with that myself, because an image of a cover is different from a photo or artwork (where you might have rights problems with it). But I don't know what everyone else thinks about that?

I don't know if curios is the right word; I think more of rare, expensive things. Maybe rename that category?

Can't we include all those paraphernalia as curiosities? By the way, can you "rebook" something in the catalog to curiosities?

Every now and then I see things that make me wonder to what extent this still falls under "comics". I am referring to things that only take up 1 page, such as advertisements, postcards, newspaper clippings, posters and other bells and whistles. I understand that collectors are interested in this, but I would argue for a distinction between comics and all the other stuff ... It seems to me the best if you primarily see the albums and album series, and not every stroke of the pen drawn on paper by a draftsman. has been put ... Now on the Donald Duck page I see, for example, a 'Duckstad Mega Driver's License', the relevance of which escapes me a bit ...

Well. This is a nice one too.
For reprints, are we going to re-record all the stories that appear in the album? A print is always identical to the first print, so that seems undesirable to me. Also because - as soon as you can also search for story numbers - we get a lot of duplicates that actually relate to one story / album.
A revised edition (which has therefore been changed!) Should actually also be able to be indicated, or be re-recorded as the 1st edition.
Another difficult problem.

I ran into this problem with Merlin "Ham and Tartijn". those albums have been translated in a different order than the original chronology was.
I have given the song that the publisher uses in his own catalog and added as a comment:
“Album has been released as the third Dutch-language album, but is the first in the original series”
this is of course a little standardized solution but clear I think.

This problem has also recently been signaled by Ruud (Ruh). There must of course only be 1 main sequence and not double. It is possible to include several editions, but must therefore be in 1 series.
Could you make 1 series that is complete (also include the reprints there) by possibly changing the album series for certain albums?
It would be great if you could also indicate which songs are redundant because they are already in the right series. Then I'll clean it up. Please also indicate with which good numbers they correspond if they are in someone's collections. Then we hang it up.

It was not specified, but it seems to me the most logical that you can indicate the number of pages per story. Will also be fun later, if you can also click on a story and see all the places where it occurs, see any differences in length. Consider, for example, the different versions of De Zwarte Rotsen.
In some cases it could also be interesting at album level, for example if additional background information is included or not.

I assume that is what you mean "Number of pages in the stories at the bottom"? That sounds wonderful to me. I myself have been in doubt whether I would put that in brackets after the story number, but in the end I did not because I hope that there would be a fixed field for that in the long term.
"Number of pages at album level", so for example 48, 56, or 64 seems a bit too much to me. If there is an album in two editions with a different number of pages (I just think of a Brer Rabbit album) you can indicate that in the description of the revised edition, I think.

Tricky problem indeed.
In any case, that seems like a good deal to me. V-No for 22 pages or more.
I'll add that to the Story Numbers input field.
By the way, a suggestion has also been made to add the Number of pages field. What do you think about that?

In the catalog I see a series of "Oberon editions" that seems complete to me, but also an "Oberon series". It contains albums that have recently been added. What is the purpose of this. I'd like to further sort Agent 327, but people have already reported that they are in their collection for both subseries. Am I overlooking something?

Story numbers are completely separate from this in my opinion and can be entered in the way that currently exists. It will only have to be agreed when a story is short (K) and when long (V). I always use the guideline that I use V for stories of 22 pages (half album) or more.
A double album track would be a godsend, but I also see complications looming there. Tricky.

Yes, this is a problem that also concerns me. I know Peter Bonte's premise was to take the song that is actually on the album or that actually occupies it in a sequence. So that's the number in the album series. The 5 Doc Silver albums, which appeared in the Young Europe Collection series, are therefore numbered 54, 58, 72, 80 and 96.
Perhaps the solution is to work with 2 numbers. The most important song is then the song in the album series, as it is now also intended. In addition, we could introduce a number to indicate the sequence within the series. I'm not sure what we should call that number. But with that you could still number Doc Silver nr 1 to 5.
Something related to this is of course the story number (V number for long stories and K number for short stories). Only that is precisely intended to number the stories in chronological order and not to number the albums logically.
In short, a complex problem. Who has the solution?

With serial number within the series I am regularly in doubt. Do you enter the sequence number of the series (for example Adam 1) or do you enter the sequence number within the collection? (Happy flight 7)? An additional problem here is that many collections (Happy flight, Free flight, Rebels…) do not have consecutive numbering, so you cannot know exactly which serial number should be assigned within such a collection. Unless you peek into the thick Matla, but that is of course not allowed officially. Opinions ?!

Is it an idea to state the average purchase price next to the catalog value? When I add a book to my collection, I enter the purchase price and condition. When others also do this, you can calculate the average purchase price and you also get a good picture of the catalog value.
The reason for allowing both things to coexist is that if someone bought "album X" 10 years ago for $ 10, the album could now be worth $ 20.
You can also overcome this by also taking the purchase date as value; that you only include "fresh" data from the past few years.
Personally, I find this value at least as interesting as a catalog value determined by 1 person - you never know exactly what that value is based on - and whether that value is actually paid by someone.

Is it possible to add a "talk" function, like wikipedia has? This is useful when you have questions about the correctness of data, but do not want to change things right away.
For example, I saw a Lucky Luke issue somewhere with a different year than in my book, while the book looks exactly the same. But I don't know if that is a bug in the database, or if there are indeed two versions. I would like to discuss that…
