Love it, the comic masses have finally caught on.  Did you even know that this book even existed before checking out this thread?

I was aware for years and always felt better about owning the second appearance only because of the cover appearance. I’m a cartoon fan, watched them from the beginning as a kid. I don’t care about the new movies. I do love the historical significance of this book a whole lot.

I have 7 Spirou 1071 & 6 Spirou 1072 submitted at CGC (this will help adding some critical mass to the census:)

I expect a range lower grade around 6.0 range and highest hopefully in the 9.0 range. But most in the 7.5-8.5 range. Will see! :wishluck:

The copy I just listed on eBay would have been sent to JoeyPost as well, but he wrote me that the other Spirou had already been submitted to CGC... hence the sale :)

Be interesting to see what your overall grade ranges are.  The raw ones you have look good too.  Most of the raw copies on eBay look to be 4.0 and below

Can't wait to know the grades! My recent two raw copies of 1071 will definitely go to CGC at some point.

I also have an incoming 1072 that looks to be in great condition. Will post it in a few days upon reception. Should be my last Spirou purchase for a while.

Upon reception of my graded Spirou I plan on slowly releasing some on the market (for sale of trade), starting with the lowest in grade.

Certainly don't plan on flooding the market ;) 

It's better to wait for those to get more recognition/visibility (curious to see if the next Overstreet will highlight the big Spirou sales that happened in the last year)

It would make a huge difference if overstreet recognizes the sale.  It’s not even in the overstreet which means “it doesn’t exist”

I wonder if some of us collectors should write up a summary document requesting inclusion in the Overstreet (at least for #1071 & 1072).

There's already a good amount of GPA data. We should be able to break down grades/pricing for initial inclusion in the Guide.

Here's the Dutch version of 1071 & 1072

I take issue with the label specifications citing this as the "Belgian" edition. 

Both the French and Dutch versions were produced by Edition Duppos, a BELGIAN publisher. They published French language versions (Spirou) for the south and Dutch language versions (Robbedoes) for the north. 

Published at the same time, one doesn't preceed the other, nor is one the primary. And to call the Dutch language one the "Belgian Edition" one is ignoring the fact that Spirou is ALSO the Belgian edition, just for the French speaking ones....

4the copy of the Dutch version of 1071 and 2nd copy of the 1072 on census.

White pages...mmmmm
