Glad to meet Boat Mad fellows, I am Alex.
My hobby is old bubble gum inserts of 80's and 90's, which were produced by Turkish companies and were very popular in Eastern Europe and Middle East. Me and my co-fellows explore books, magazines and catalogues of the time and identify sources which Turks used for their cards. In fact, they just copied images they wanted. We identified already 85% of the sources. With cars and motorcycles it was OK, and we already found hundreds of paper sources and bought them for collection. But with powerboats (see attached) we have most difficulties. Magazines are very rare, and fans of offshore racing are much less in number than of F1 for example. I found your community and registered here in hope that you could help me to find the magazines or books where those pictures are from. As far as I understood, they all are related to offshore racing of around 1992-94. But which exactly? From which magazine? Of which country?
Any help or advice are highly appreciated . If someone has scans or photos, it would be fantastic!
Peace to all!
Alex
