First have all a happy and prosperous new year 2011
Martin has invited me to Bluecavern forum, after a long mail correspondence about the Smurfs, images and smurf variants.
I think I was some time ago by chance on the page, but so far no more.
All scans of the catalogs, the dialogues and the many people who have this passion for the Smurfs, I think I been missing something.
My father and I collect smurfs since seven years.
After a long pause my father started again with the Schlumpf collection and I also decided to collect. Now we have about 4,500 different PVC-Smurfs (markings, colors, etc.) and much more like "Geschlumpfe", Spitzers, Loveables, Promos and more.
Now I have to learn a lot, but would like to pass on knowledge.
The best thing is when collectors share their knowledge.
Benny.
