One of the most memorable pieces of Nickelodeon's history is their bumpers.
This was (what I believe) one of the things that gave Nickelodeon it's identity. It gave young filmmakers an opportunity to market the network in their own unique way. Many of these prime examples would be the marching animals "Calling Cades" bumper, the Doo-Wop dinosaurs, the notebook bumpers, and more. These bumpers had very memorable tunes that people still hum to, even to this day. This is also where the famous "Nick Nick Nick" jingle came into play.
As you can imagine, these bumpers have had quite an impact on today's generation. To this day, people are creating fanmade bumpers with their own unique twist.

However, what I'm about to talk about is rarely spoken about, and is what I believe to be every fanmade bumper maker's dream.
The Nickelodeon Production Music CDs.
These discs were created in 1996 (if I remember correctly) and were given to these Nickelodeon bumper producers to use.
There are four albums in total:
-The Jetsam Collection (which contains music such as different varients of the SNICK bumper music, and the original KCA production music including instrumental tunes)
-The Flotsam Collection (which contains music such as The Homeboy Mix and others)
-The Original Collection (which contains random commercial music such as "Nick Takes Over Your School")
-The Nick Nick Nick Collection (which contains just about all bumper music prior to 1996, and I mean, ALL. Over 80 tunes to be exact.)
Some discs like The Flotsam Collection are pretty cheap separately, but altogether, they all add up to about $200-$300 in value.
The contents of these discs have also yet to surface online, most likely due to keeping the value of the discs, as well as Viacom taking down the music themselves, despite not getting any profitable gain out of it considering these discs are rather rare. But hey, there's a reason they earned the nickname "Viacommunists".
It's most likely Nickelodeon themselves owns copies of these CDs, considering they post occasional remixes of this music from time to time on The Splat, previously The 90's Are All That.
In my opinion, I consider these discs The Holy Grails of Nickelodeon memorabilia. It's not often they pop up on online shopping listings, especially all four in one package. If you're a huge Nick junkie, then you may want to save up those dollars and wait for some listings to pop up.
