Do you collect Tintin figurines, statuettes, and merchandise from the Hergé universe? Perhaps you own a Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, or Professor Calculus item whose true value you don't know. As is often the case in the world of collecting, some pieces seem common but are highly sought after, while others have a very variable value depending on the manufacturer, print run, and condition.
This 4th edition encyclopedia was specifically designed for this purpose: to provide you with a clear, reliable, and comprehensive reference guide to accurately estimate the value of your Hergé items.
Why Hergé's value varies so much
The market for Hergé figurines and merchandise relies on several key criteria. The first is the manufacturer: not all have the same reputation or distribution level. An item signed by a recognized manufacturer like Leblon-Delienne, Aroutcheff, or Pixi will not have the same value as a more common or mass-produced item.
The second factor is the print run. A numbered, signed figurine or one accompanied by a certificate will generally have a higher value than a standard edition. Finally, the condition remains crucial: an item with its original box, complete and well-preserved, fetches a better price on the secondary market.
