Hi there

Just posting that I finished translating the Katalog and have printed out all of the pages featuring the descriptions etc. I have added a tick box to each individual listing so I can tick of the variations as I receive them. Unfortunately there are quite a few I have that are not listed in the katalog so I have added them in myself minus a price figure of course as I wouldn't be too sure of this yet. I have also put all of the promos with their respective original versions (if they had one) and have added tick boxes with the supers regarding which versions of the box I have.

So far I have already gone through all of my regulars and I have done the first 10 of my supers so the whole project will be totally done and smurfs recorded by the weekend......with any luck. I have been on about 4-5 hours a night sleep in the past 5 weeks to complete this and unfortunately was feeling a bit ill this week probably because of it. However I have already found this very useful when hunting down new variations on Ebay as I have my collection recorded in one folder for easy quick reference.

All the best

Well Syd Smurf you have been busy.

I won an old farmhouse on ebay last week and am waiting for that to come, very exciting!

I ticked my smurfs off in the katalog recently, I thought I had better do it for insurance purposes, not that I have many rare ones. I do have a rare football smurf, a yellow scarf Chimney Sweep super smurf and a hiker with yellow flower in my childhood collection so I didn't do too badly! I'm very sad though because my daughter broke my shopping trolley smurfette last week and I haven't been able to get another one yet. Naughty Kitty.

Hi Karen

Yes I have been busy but then again so have you with the listing of all of those markings. I am not sure which Football one you have but I don't have any of the earlier versions of the Farm (yet) or the Yellow Scarf Chimney Sweeper and I think they are pretty cool ones to own too.

Going through all the different versions it can be a little deflating because you think you are a super collector and then realise that you actually haven't got any of these promos or these variations or this one and that so many to collect arggghhhhhhhhhhhh! (Welsh for argh...Australian version is just ah of course).

However they say that it is all about the fun of collecting and I am having a blast.....and going through the Katalog I just learnt so much about what to look for with different variations.

Take care
