If you accidentally have too many doubles of something, not just gum papers, there is always possibility to sort them out by condition, and you can end up with having less. And if your doubles were not used for a long period of time, this can be very healthy.
Gum papers are valuable not just by how many you have of them, but one of the most important thing is their condition. Talking about turbo gum, turbo classic 1-70 are very hard to find in good condition, also the same with turbo super 401-470. Because when you are wrapping them out, in most cases you leave bad marks on them. Paper itself is in good condition, but overall condition can be better.

But when you are sorting out doubles, for example otomoto or bombibom, you can end up with many gum papers not in good condition. If you would try it out, you can be surprised. I was ready for it, but otomoto collection ended not very nicely.
Let’s make it clear, what this is all about those bombibom 4th series. Some might do not know this yet, or do not know where to look at, as there are 4 different subseries in this series. Same cars, same numbers, just different writing. There are several ways to name them:
Main thing is about manufacturer writings. Ones have baycan on in, others have b baycan, same baycan with additional letter b, two series have the same writing, just in wider and stronger formating, than other two.
Here are all subseries of the same number showed all together. Green markings represent simple series, red markings shows wider writing version of paper. As soon as you spot the difference, you will know what this is all about.
i have noticed i become more active here. so, another day of gum collector. part of the contents of one recently received letter. something for my non-turbo collections. and few words to comment the photos.
30 new collection items
another set of letters came to me just few days after i described first ones. this time 5 different letters/packages were reveived, and so this time i will describe just contents of 3 of them, anothers are something different and need separate attention.
in this photo on the right side can be seen some interesting stuff called chic – a product of islamic. series is not so very common, and getting 10 items into collection means i had a little luck.
left part on the top cars with yellow strip above is bombibom 3rd series, same stuff just called of bonus type “without b”. with this letter i completed the set, finally. bottom part belongs to top gun second series. those i’m collecting both “with b” and “without b” too, still many to go.
