Value your own copy

By printing year

The value is in the printing, not the story — and the printing year does most of the work. Note: the year in the front of your album is usually the copyright year, not the year it was printed. How to tell them apart.

Printing year Value (good) Known printings
1955 € 170 1
1956 € 43 1
1958 € 69 1
1961 € 37 3
1962 € 14 1
1963 € 14 1
1965 € 15 1
1967 € 9 1
1969 € 7 1
1971 € 3 1
1973 € 3 1

The amounts are estimates based on 11 printings we have prices for; for the others we derive from printings of the same years. One year sometimes holds several printings that can only be told apart by a line in the back — that is what the questionnaire asks about.
