I see that there are different types of boomerang cards in the overview.

What's the difference between them?

And when is a boomerang freecard a "normal" freecard, and when does it fall under catering or film?

The difference between the different Boomerang cards stems from the circuit in which these cards are set. This difference is only visible on the back of the card. In addition to the freecards, which are generally distributed in the hospitality industry, we distinguish between the letter B, Schoolcards, letter S (Secondary education institutions), Studycards, U, (High schools, Universities and Student cafes), Sportcards, L, (Gyms and Fitness centers). ), Cultcards, C, (Cultural institutions), Cinema cards, M, (cinemas) etc.

Since 2008, Boomerang has stopped issuing cards with the different markings on the back and everything falls under the letter B.

They do occasionally issue special cards for a specific location in a limited edition. These maps now have the mention "Location map" on the back.

In addition to Wim's answer:

There are also boomerang cards from outside the Netherlands. At the moment, Catawiki only contains boomerang cards from Belgium. I expect more countries to join in the future.

thanks for this explanation!

I didn't even know there was a difference in the cards issued by various occasions.

have about 50 of them myself, from about 10 years ago, so I will look them up again (hopefully I can still find them) and then I will see what is on the back, and whether they are already listed on this site.

Good idea. In this way we get an increasingly complete overview of what has ever appeared. If you have specific questions about finding and registering freecards, you can always contact me.

I also have a lot of foreign maps and I have some reference books where you can find everything.

with some boomerang cards I now see that there are 2 versions, a regular number, and one with "a" after it.

As far as I can see it is the same card in all cases, what is the difference between a regular and an "a"?

How can I tell that difference?

Where can I find the premium cards?

And which letter do these have?

(answer already found!)

The a (or another letter) after a number indicates that there is a (small) difference on the back of the card. In many cases this is the indication of when the card was in the racks.

This is then described in the commentary. Or (even better) an extra scan of the back of the card is also included.

For example P06-08 and P06-14. A P number indicates the year and period. P06 is 2006 and 08 is week 15 and 16 of that year. An advertiser can choose to have the card turned off a second time dior Boomerang, in the example above also in period 14, week 27 and 28.

The premium cards are not from the publisher Boomerang. I don't think those cards have been put on Catawiki yet. When that happens I will check the numbering. That's what I did with the Boomerang, but Wim (who has performed everything) makes very few mistakes.

Boomerang later took over Premium card. The large cards from Premium were then called Boomerang XL on the back. The Boomerang XL have already been listed in Catawiki.

Mistake in the previous message.

It has now been checked and the old primium cards have also been included in Catawiki. These are the cards that were issued up to and including 2003, numbering PCnnn where nnn is the serial number.

I don't understand much about boomerang numbering. In any case, the numbers in the catalog are not found on the back of the cards (which I have).

Take the series 'leukeringendoen.nl' (B003753 * to B00755), the back does not show at all that it concerns a boomerang card. What I read is that it concerns an action by the petrol company BP. In addition, only three are shown, while I have five.

The two missing (Catawiki number: 2495167 / Catawiki number: 2495167 ) I added today, with BP as publisher because it is the only company name I see on the back. There is also no space in the number series before and after the above numbers in the B series.


* Catawiki number: 1050859

FUN THINGS TO DO

There are three cards issued by boomerang for doing fun things. These are cards B003753 to B003755. These cards have become available through the boomerang racks. The backs of those cards clearly say boomerang.

The other fun-doing cards were distributed through the BP gas stations, according to my information. That was five cards. Johanes1953 has entered the front of two of those cards. The other three have the same front cover as the boomerang releases.

@ Johanes1953: if you also want to put the other three BP cards in Catawiki, that would be nice. So as far as I know there are 8 cards.

BOOMERANG NUMBERING

In response to JOHANNES153's message. The numbering of Boomerang has been agreed upon by Freecardwim and John van Veen with the knowledge of Marco. The numbering is such that it corresponds to the numbering of the catalog published first by the VDP and then by the BOOMERANG FANCLUB (annually).

We have set it up in such a way that when sorting by title, a logical order is shown in CATAWIKI. That order corresponds to the catalogs mentioned and will be the arrangement of their collection for many Boomerang collectors.

The numbers are not on the cards, but without the numbers in the title it is almost impossible to find out.

There will be few old boomerang cards that are not yet known. When an old card is found, we give it a new logical number. This is done in consultation with the Boomerang fan club.

Thanks for the comments, I now understand things better.

I used to fill up with BP in the past so I will get the nice things to do cards from

I do advocate that when entering postcards, the back is scanned as much as possible. In this case I would have seen the difference immediately.

@marco, I'll add the three other cards.

Hereby an appeal to collectors and sellers of Boomerang cards:

Add an image of the back of the copies you have! A card is therefore easier to recognize for novice collectors. They can therefore better see the difference between different types of cards if they have the same image.

For people who plan to introduce new Boomerang cards:

So post an image from the front and the back of the card. Regarding the naming, as mentioned above, the number in the title is not the number on the card. This has a separate field

The numbering is such that it corresponds to the numbering of the catalog published first by the VDP and then by the BOOMERANG FANCLUB (annually)

For those who don't have this catalog, just name the card as you think it best describes the card. For example, if there is text on the card, you can use it. In case of wrong naming, the administrators can change this name to the name mentioned in the aforementioned catalog.

This discussion keeps coming back. I don't think anyone is really bothered by the song in the title. If you are looking for a card and you type part of the description (for example a brand name) you will almost always find the card in question. In this way I occasionally look up the numbers, and that goes very well.

The numbering also helps to find duplicated items. Cards without a number will be new or have already been entered.

Finally, the number is a great way to sort the collection. Sort the cards by title and everyone will see the same (useful) order.

The alternative is a sortable section with an identification.

By the way, as an administrator of boomerang, I want to contribute to this collection area to maintain. You can also contact me for questions. If the songs are gone (removed), I will probably not be able to do that easily. Every typo in the description makes an item difficult to find. You can easily remove a typo in the numbers.

Scanning the backs is of course a great thing. See also the BP cards where Johannes1953 has introduced five new freecards that are not from boomerang. In this way we really get more and more catawiki!

I don't mind that the song is in the title. The problem I raised was that not everyone has a Boomerang / Freecard catalog and therefore does not have the correct number. He or she wants to enter his or her card and I advise those people to make a description of their card.

Then I assume that people who have that catalog or the Boomerang card managers Then correct the title and enter the correct information for that card.

And the number of the card that you have to enter in the number field is easy to find and is often at the bottom right. That is not the same number as mentioned in the title!

And of course my compliments to all those importers of the cards, because together we make the CataWiki Catalog more complete and complete!

Very clumsy that number had made a different field for that and it was sortable

in addition, you focus on a different catalog as soon as they change a bit, catawiki is no longer correct!

DisneyMeentwijc specifies exactly what the intention is. The administrators ensure that the numbering is consistently implemented and maintained. We also do that after there is a new catalog. You can therefore assume that we already have more than 99% of the older boomerang cards in Catawiki. The chance that an old map will be found that is not in Catawiki is almost zero. If necessary, you can always send an email to me or EricW, so that we can investigate the authenticity of the card.

So actually quite a milestone! Finally a collection section that, except for perhaps a single card, is complete and hopefully will remain!

The advantage for collectors is that they know when their collection is complete. That does not happen often with collectors! Fortunately, when these cards are complete, there is the possibility to switch to other types of freecards. Or just get started on postcards! ;)

And for john-van-veen and EricW I hope that the Boomerang Catalog does not change or can we also keep our own CataWiki numbering due to the completeness?

Actually, the numbering we use is already a CataWiki numbering. At the time with Marco/Rene and Freecardwin we made the numbering in such a way that it is sortable by, for example, adding some zeros. So when sorting by title you have the order as it is in my collection, with empty spaces for the shortcomings.

The Boomerang catalog will only be supplemented, there will be no renumbering.

I agree with a previous comment from DisneyMeentwijc , however, I now come across cards from both freecardwim and Alberts stamp without reverse.

I am in possession of eg the card Sanex for men - Boomerang card from week 11 2004

So this card has the number P11-04 on the back left hand side.

Freecardwim has entered this card with number B040133 and again with number L040008

I do not have the boomerang card catalog so how can I find out which of these 2 my card belongs to (or even another number and how do I get that number? )

Dear Bulamu
B0401334 is a Freecard (that applies to all cards that start with a B)
L040008 is a sports card.

Which one it is is indicated on the back of the card your card.

Dear Balamu,

As a guideline, you can basically assume that the cards entered by freecardwim are always correct. I always check those cards. In principle, you will very rarely find a boomerang card from before 2015 that is not yet in Catawiki.
If in doubt, please contact me and I will check it out.

The numbering (the first part of the title) is also correct. By sorting by title you get an order that is in line with the order used by many boomerang collectors.

I have nothing to add to the explanation of johannes1953.

John
