"For me it's astonishing that on my about 30 loose cardback from different sources from Germany I find no single card with this English text but on perhaps 1/3 of the carded figures I got from UK. This is something still to explain."
Wolfgang is NOT me...I am Wolff. :lol: ...both are German dudes....but Wolfgang is a real "guru" to the hobby since decades!!!

I'm not suggesting he made the bubbles, just that if the story is true it's possible he has both single and double stem bubbles. Is it normal to see the same cardback from the same source with various different bubble types? Surely any production run would have used the same bubble.
As I said already above: I always looked at some of those and thought: These must be overstock assembled on the very last days: overstock figures, cardbacks and bubbles! I am not really good in cradbacks (I also said above) but I can spot figures, Coos and variants very good.
Anyway...I repeat myself I guess: The question is not if there were some parts widley mixed up (it is IMO...and always was), the question is only one: where were they sealed?
I could imagine that GM collected everything in the Plaitoy factory and just wildley mixed up and used their own overstock (PBP, Plaitoy, Asina stuff...etc).....I am not even sure thatb some of those ever hit the market.....anyway....it doenst proof anything! Just that some things got mixed up...which is surely possible IMO
