Tintin Forums

Hey can any one tell me about this poster?
I bought it a while ago off eBay and the guy said it was from the sixties.

I can't find a picture of it right now and I don't have a digital camera, but I can try and describe it.

It has two strips of blue, the top strip of blue says Tintin in it, the bottom says Methuen; the middle section is white, with pictures of Tintin walking in different costumes from various books.

Also, if I were to sell it what price should I expect?

I think I know which one you mean: Tintin is walking left-to-right in several different costumes, starting with Congo, America, then a few others including the space-suit from the Moon books and explorer's outfit from Tibet.

There's an easy way to date it though; if the last image is of Tintin as a sketch taken from Alph-Art, then the poster certainly doesn't date from before 1983 (when Hergé died writing it), or more probably 1986 (when Alph-Art was first published).

I've seen them go on eBay for about £10; I think you'd be lucky to get much over that.
Personally I would keep it for a while as they're no longer made, and can only increase in value.
