#10066505 #10066511
We are currently in the 50th week of the year.
Can a weekly magazine/magazine be published earlier? Or what is it like here?
#10066513 #10066515 #10066729 #10066739 .
Same question as above.
Only here on the cover it is already the year 2024.
This should be in accordance with the 2023 manual.
But what about the vintage. What do you think about that?

If a magazine appears before the end of the year, we give it the new year's series.
However, I have my doubts about the import of these items because an image of the back is always missing

Jilles @Collector @rikMooren.
I think the images were 'just' taken from the internet somewhere.
Otherwise, you can also put an image of the back here.
But isn't it bizarre?
One (1) issue of the weekly magazine every week for 49 weeks .
And then in week 50 just 5 numbers (50, 51, 52 years 2023) and (1, 2 years 2024).
I never knew that there are publishers that publish 5 weekly magazines/issues at once...
Weekly. Week and leaf. A magazine that appears once a week. 52 x in a year being the number of weeks in a year? Or am I missing something!?
Will send message to the importer.

Jilles @Donald Duck experts
Another thought.
Weekly magazines that appear 5 weeks earlier are not possible, are they?
Is it still a 'weekly magazine'?
A number 2 from a next year that will already be released on 11-12-23? A weekly magazine that appears more than a month before its date? Hello?
Then you already have 54 weeklies.
And a year only has 52 weeks
There is more than 1 scent to this...

There is nothing wrong with #10066727 .
Look at the # numbers earlier in this topic.
The fact is: number 50 was entered on 11-12-23.
And then on 12-12-23 the numbers 51 and 52 and also the numbers 1 and 2 of 2024.
Are we talking here about a weekly newspaper or a ' daily newspaper '?
Here are the numbers again:
#10066505 #10066511 #10066513 "10066515 #10066729 #10066739

buizer My copy really doesn't have two fronts. I'll scan it tomorrow.
No one can #10066729 already has it, it will only be released in a month, just like the rest from “2024” from the same importer. It's nice that you give him the benefit of the doubt, but as an administrator you can also trust your common sense.

Then the question remains: where was the photo 'borrowed' from?
Because I can't find it for the time being.
And what would be the case here is that would also be the case for the other # numbers?
So I think yes.

Well, well...what a strange discussion. As has been the case many times this year, I have already scanned the covers because they are simply known to me and I will please many collectors with them. If Mr. Buizer (there is something fishy about this... ... and also send me a disrespectful email right away...) had done some research, he would have been able to see in my profile which items I have listed and which I have even corrected from other collectors (user 'Strips28') who are too lazy to scan the backs afterwards. As you can see there, I always scan the backs when the magazine is actually in the store. For DD 2-2024 this will be around January 5. So it is ridiculous to have a discussion about whether it is a daily or weekly newspaper. These are just the items that will be released soon. And I won't tell my source. If it is not appreciated, I will simply stop Last Dodo scans, but also improvements in the catalog because there are enough of them. What a bunch of nonsense. The manager can always contact me. No problem.

It is the first time since my membership in 2008 that I have heard that items, in this case Donald Ducks, are entered into a catalog while they are not yet for sale and/or distributed. I can imagine that you are angry with members who respond and do not first contact you directly. What is the situation now? 2024 versus 2023, but entering something that only exists digitally is something new, isn't it? Doesn't that raise questions? Before you introduced something like this, wasn't it up to you to first ask an administrator whether that was allowed? Because apparently you don't have such a yet-to-be-released Donald in your hands, but you will receive a scan or photo. Are there many Donald Duck collectors who are waiting for an import and why are they so impatient?

arrieparrie , The problem is that a digital draft version does not have to be the same as the product that is ultimately physically released. For example, because something is changed at the last minute. We like to make sure in the catalog that the scans are of the final physical product.

Sorry Rene, but when you enter an item you must actually own it. And @arrieparrie admits this.
If everyone starts like this it will be great...
That is clearly not the case here with @arrieparrie.
Isn't it a catalog and not a 'preview catalogue'?

buizer , I can't follow you. I'll say whatever you think:
We like to make sure in the catalog that the scans are of the final physical product.

(which means that only photos/scans of real end products may be placed in the catalog)

Buizer likes to point out things and draws out his 'I am an administrator, so I enforce!' conclusions without hearing either side. The collecting world is being ruined by people like this. This doesn't make any sense at all, but I'll stop doing this now anyway. I selflessly and voluntarily complete the catalog and then all you get is whining? For me it ends here and other collectors I know will no longer update Donald Duck. Do it yourself. Best !

What a lot of fuss over absolutely nothing. Arrieparrie does a good job and yes, I like to put the front covers in my catalogue, because I have a subscription and also buy them in the store. He keeps the source of arthritis a secret and that makes sense. So far he has never been wrong with his front ends. But maybe you guys want to take over his work and enter the Ducks every Thursday. Why not just be happy with someone who does good work. I also see additions in the catalog that make my toes crooked.

Rene I don't blame you and I understand your point of view but you should know that these are absolutely not previews. People like Buizer immediately jump to conclusions, open an item on the forum and then approach you in a very incorrect manner. In addition, I am being dragged through the mud with his suggestions.

Why so angry, again apparently no one has noticed before that items are being imported that are not yet physically present. Yes, apparently there are some (or many?) Donald Duck enthusiasts, Lastdodo has a catalog of rules, if you want to deal with it differently than those input rules, it is normal to first consult with administrators and not the other way around? The administrators are there for a reason and it is certainly not good for the forum that disagreement arises. And of course it is nice that there are collectors and enthusiasts who keep the catalog up to date with entries. You both have a point there, but you shouldn't take it out of context.

Just the next thing.
Anyone can respond and post something on the forum.
Furthermore, there is still something like copyright that everyone must adhere to.
Do what is allowed to be done. Then there is no 'squabble'.
And post the items on the forum when they actually come out.
A catalog is used for this, as @Harry56 also indicated.

Just figure it out. I'm not going to scan the backs anymore either. You just take everything away if you don't agree with it. The treatment here is unprecedented and that is why I am so angry.

People like Buizer immediately draw conclusions
Were his conclusions incorrect?

Administrators are tasked with safeguarding the integrity of the catalog, based on their own expertise (and knowledge of the rules). This can sometimes go wrong (because the origin of images is sometimes difficult to determine), but in this case it concerns items that clearly contradict the manual. Published or not, images of digital origin are never allowed.

I see that the Manuals do not explicitly state that books not yet published may not be imported (that is apparently taken for granted), but I have personally experienced that Arco (†) was always very strict about this. He was lenient if comics were introduced two or three days in advance (in the week of publication), but certainly not earlier.
Otherwise, publishers could simply release their entire planned catalog months in advance, causing complete chaos.

In retrospect, it might have been more tactful if Buzzer had raised the problem on the (closed) Administrator Forum and left the reprimand to a comics administrator.
