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…

3 Asterix and Cleopatra
Don't you like the First Legion better? I should have put it in my top-10 ...

But there is something in what you read says something about who you are.
1 Koos Voos, Gotlib
hahaha!

ja, er wordt gesmokkeld hé,zo kan ik het ook ;-) Maar er zit wel iets in dat wat je leest iets zegt over wie je bent. Vooruit dan, een top-5:
1 Koos Voos, Gotlib (nou ja stiekum het hele oeuvre van Gotlib)
2 Kuifje: Eenhoorn + schat (eigenlijk één verhaal)
3 Asterix en Cleopatra (en de rest van de reeks toen Goscinny er nog was)
4 Het Gele teken Blake en Mortimer
5 Horizon (Lian Ong)
Oei, Koos Voos op één. Wat zou mijn psychiater daar van zeggen…

yes, there is smuggling hey, that's how I can do it ;-) But there is something in it that what you read says something about who you are. Come on then, a top-5:
1 Koos Voos, Gotlib (well, secretly Gotlib's entire oeuvre)
2 Tintin: Unicorn + Treasure (actually one story)
3 Asterix And Cleopatra (And The Rest Of The Series When Goscinny Was Still Around)
4 The Yellow Mark Blake and Mortimer
5 Horizon (Lian Ong)
Oops, Koos Voos on one. What would my psychiatrist say about that…

Sounds like a good plan Eelke (deblouw). You have already passed many corrections via e-mail and you are clearly knowledgeable! And therefore also organizational talent. Are we happy with it. I'll email you with more info about the administrator role.

This exhibition is indeed very beautiful. Great original drawings. Much in color too. And also a nice overview of Kresse's early work and books illustrated by him.

At the moment there is a retrospective of the work (the works) of Hans G. Kresse in the comic museum in Groningen. Definitely worth it.

AAAAAAAH ! THAT would be very painful to watch!
Glad I wasn't around!
Is also a problem for me, throw it away.

I have also seen many series where the HC versions get a separate series. If a complete series appears in Hc, I find that a pleasant solution myself. When only a few parts within a series appear in HC, René's solution appeals to me again. Tricky.

Maybe Rene should make me an administrator too; I am not a proofreader, but I do have an organizing fetish: ) So I also put my entire CD and record collection on my hard drive, where each CD has its own folder with picture of the album cover . What a pleasure to watch :-) By the way, I can be found via info at-tail evertkwok point nl.

Hello Scrooge,
Pffff… you are right… so difficult… now started with:
- The Killing Joke (Bolland)
- Douwe Dabbert
- Conan (Barry Windsor-Smith)
- XIII
But there is still so much.
Incidentally, I find it difficult to name individual albums… series is better off for me.

Hello René S.,
Spam all over again nowadays at Ziggo ... luckily they are now passed along with {spam} - as the beginning of the title ... so that they are easy to categorize, so that I take that risk for granted.

Hi René,
I think we mean the same thing. I see indeed that with the series Spiderman there is an album series also called Spiderman. That is confusing. It is indeed better to call that album series Spiderman JP. That is the main album series, you could also call it “main series”.
The only difference of opinion I think is whether you use the word “main series” in the name of the main album series - in this case eg “Spiderman JP main series” or whether you indicate the main album series by marking it in one place as Main sequence. In that case, the main album series is called “Spiderman JP” and that album series is marked somewhere to indicate that this is the main album series (also called main series).
René S.

PFffff, I really wouldn't know that right now.
I read so many comics, some stick around and some don't. In addition, I also read a lot of comics and mangas, I fear that I will no longer start to compile a top 10. What I really like is Thorgal, Franka, Deathnote, Golden city, Monster, S1ngle, well, I can go on for another hour… ..

No, nix illegal. You can even email me directly :-)
By the way: there is a risk of spam on your email address if you post it in forums.

Hello forummensae,
Still confusion ... that's why I still advocate:
Title
Main series
Album series
and then, for the sake of clarity, not to give an album series the same name as a main series ... so with Spiderman, for example, replace the Spiderman album series with Spiderman JP ... I hope I can perform administrator tasks quickly ... then I will definitely change that if it is nowhere else collides with it.
Someone a different opinion?

Hello deblouw,
That is a duplication ... there are many more ... once the administrators have been entered and given rights, those errors will disappear automatically ... I have also seen a lot of duplications here and there .. try to make them disappear as much as possible by correcting them to other items (sorry, I've been a proofreader) ... something like that will go better when there are administrators. are busy.
By the way, I notice that we often reply to each other in this forum… mss interesting to exchange some information outside the forum (hopefully this is not illegal, then sorry René)? You can reach me via: 1comicworld@home.nl

I once poked around in the music, and I noticed that LPs and CDs (and perhaps in the future also DVD 's and Blueray, etc) are not separate are displayed. I choose an artist, eg Genesis and see LPs and CDs together.
Could it be an idea to separate this from each other? It's easier with searching,

Hello Ruh,
You're right about that, I wouldn't condemn them directly to recycling ... but I do try to get a copy that is still perfectly in order (and then to read use the old copy, LOL ).
By the way, I've been in close contact with a comic / comic booth on the market for a number of years, you'd be amazed at the number of copies torn in half on the spot and ended up in the scrap paper.

Hi lucilleball,
Indeed, it differs per seller (what has he paid in terms of purchase and what yield is he satisfied with) and the maternity rent certainly also plays a role; Last year, the Stripdagen charged 135, - for 3 meters stand ... now that is 3.20 170 Euro… for that extra 20 centimeters you now paid 45 Euro more!
Greetings,
René Visser

no, then I got it. Main Sequence is simply a name for the main album sequence.
