bi-bib – short story

bi-bib was bubble gum, produced in late 1970s by kent company, and it included papers with cars from that time. full serie consists of 168 different pictures with cars, planes and motorcycles, and one type of gum cover.

it’s serie that has it’s own spirit, spirit from those times, and most of cars was special and in these days are true classics.

some examples from this nice serie:

i started loving bi-bibs from first paper i got – it was #112 ferrari, but there was small problem with it. this serie is quite rare, and from beggining i had no ideas about finishing it. but one by one i exchanged papers from this serie and i liked it more and more.

and one day, as sometimes happens in very rare cases, maybe that day was moon with sun in good angle with stars of whatever, but i got a email. one guy wrote me. he got ~80 bibibs that time, sadly all were damaged – called cut-frame. it’s picture without white frame around. but as all know something is better that nothing, i took them with value of 1/3 good picture. and i thought someday i could replace them with good items.

so, time went by, one by two, five by ten, but more bi-bibs i got, some damaged replaced, missing filled, and one day o i saw i even can finish it! i was missing 30 or smth. yey, i thought.

so, here’s today. today i got letter with 8 missing items, and i really like my missing list.

i hope to finish this serie soon.

    Hi man! This is a very nice collection. I was wondering-how much a collection like this one cost ?

    Everything has it’s price. A friend of mine wants to win some money and he decided to cell his collection, but doesn’t really know how much to ask for it.

    So it’s simplest decision to put it on an auction. Let it be starting price 1$ for 1 item, for example, and price in the end will be that cost.
