A copy of the most expensive pin ever, a 1936 Tintin badge for Le Petit Vingtième subscribers (Catawiki 942997 ) is currently listed for sale on eBay. It looks like a much nicer copy than Artcurial and will undoubtedly yield more than the starting bid.

Nice item! Indeed, but just follow with regard to the value.

I would like to see more of these posts (important for collectors).

Now the forum is filled with doom and gloom :-(

No offer, so unsold. That surprises me.

Yes indeed, but this was a regular auction, do not buy directly and if you immediately set the asking price in a regular auction, you will scare off buyers.

Tip!

Given the beautiful blue-white C on its pictures, I think that Catawiki can object to the unlawful use of Catawiki images by this 'smart guy'.

On the other hand, it is also just a bit of logo advertising.

The pictures came from eBay, so I wouldn't be too excited.

So much worse.

Photo 2 and 3 of 942997 simply had should never be included in Catawiki at all!

Looking at the needle of the pin, it seems to me that picture 1 is a different pin than picture 2 and 3.

Isn't the price difference just because of that?

@pegag: Not strictly speaking (fig. 1 neither), but I don't see the problem that way. There are more images of expensive items that were not photographed by CW users themselves.

@Arwin: In the first photo, the cap of the pin is missing and it is a less beautiful one. It only now strikes me that the eBay auction was prematurely ended by the seller, so the pin was probably sold privately.

Okay, that probably depends on that.
I thought it was part of the needle, but it's kind of like a cap.

And those E-bay images.
You have one in the front and one in the back.
Other images cannot be made with a pin, and all information can be read from the images.
So I don't see the problem that way either.
Pins are not comic books that you have to open to see all the info.

Bad image, too much retouched away, that's all.

How many variants do you think there are? Only a few copies of this pin are known.

It is from a different pin, just look at the damage and the position of the needle, you can see that it is not the same pin?

photo 1 has to go and photo 3 has to go to photo 1
