This post will have some additional information to mertsan konvoy series, already posted here, and I do not title it as another post in FAQ series about gum. So as I mentioned in earlier post, I will show some covers from mertsan series. This show that gum series is not right called as mertsan, because it has different, and corrent name, konvoy. Mertsan is just a producer, as Kent is producer of turbo gum.
Here you go. It is believed that this cover belongs to 20.000 Daca or IMpreuna series, and released at year 1995.

Hi there. Let’s start new series of posts, where I would like to give some more details about one or another gum series, sub series, bonus series and such things. And let’s start with Mertsan series. In first part of FAQ about Mertsan, I will show how those series should be divided. If someone is not yet familiar with it, there are 4 different collectible series of this gum, commonly called Mertstan. In second part I will show you some gum covers of Mertsan, and we will see that this series have another official title, Konvoy. But this will be next time, today let’s talk about inside papers.
As should be known, there are 4 different collectible series of Mertsan:
- Mertsan 20.000 Daca
- Mertsan 20.000 IMpreuna
- Mertsan 250.000 1-66
- Mertsan 250.000 1-50
Mertsan 20.000 Daca – most common series. If you could find that someone have some Merstan for exchange, 90% of them, if not all, will be from this series. It is possible to collect them all, just few numbers are more hard to get than others. Why it should be called this way? Look at the picture, there are 3 columns on the top, first have numbers part of title, 3rd column have first word Daca. And we get full title, Mertsan 20.000 1-50 Daca. As in first 2 series, those with number 20.000, have both 1-50, so we can skip this number.
Mertsan 20.000 IMpreuna – less common series. Pictures same as in Daca series, just we have different word in 3rd column, and pictures itself is harder to get. Also for some reasons not everybody who collect 20.000 Daca, wants to collect also 20.000 IMpreuna.

Not much turbo covers collectors out there, or maybe they aren’t showing their collections to general public, or something else. But there are some, and I even received few questions about my turbo covers collection. Just few questions, maybe because my way to represent seems easy, or too complicated to ask anything.
