I sure hope what I say dont get me banned but ive sat back long enough,,, ive been here for a long time, back to when nan and alan were running the boards and before that i collected on my own, and if anyone knows me i just love to come and vist the boards to learn and see the great marbles everyone has,, this bs with the politics of whos doesnt have this type or who doesnt have the high end mibs is for the birds not everyone can afford some of the high end ones. I get it with the new jabos, they are a work of art, stunning for someone who can take awesome photos (bt and others)of them and better to have them in hand, no they are not vintage this is true but for some people the fun of collecting is eye appeal and just plain cool looking mibs, works of art, and the guys or gals who have good cameras have a gift to show them to us, the thing with these newer jabos is there really isnt no set pattern so every turn of the mib is a different work of art in my eyes, ,, anyway nobody can control what others say banned or not, all banning does is start rumors and makes them angry, i treat these harsh post like a radio, if i dont like what i here i turn it off or just dont read it,everyone has a bad day now and again, but there is a point where the mods need to say enough is enough, i did read the post that feelingmarbolous put up when it hit and for someone to vent his feelings in a marble related forum was uncalled for,,also go to the main page of this forum, if it isnt someone selling stuff or advertising stuff its someone trying to out smart out whit someone on anything they try to discuss, in the end run we run into peeps not wanting to post up in fear of being raked over the coals in their assessment or questions , it dont make no sense, why does such a simple game and toy become so difficult for some to grasp the fact that it is so trivial of a game for it to become so complicated, because of the money involve?,,, jeepers, everyone collect what you like!!, and if anything, let see some more marble post ups, alot of people didnt like feelingmarbolious's politics but ya have to admit he had some killer pics of what he had, so what if he doesnt have million dollar marbles, i enjoyed what he showed us, i dont particularly like his way of thinking and his holyer than thow attitude but if you like marbles you learn to overlook the obvious, no one person knows it all thats why we come here to these boards and supposed to have fun looking, discussing and commenting on others bounties, leave the "im better than you" at the door , lets have fun,,, bj

all are awesome mibs, but i printed out that 5 pack of purples and all i can say is wow,, amazingly clear and just a blast to look at,, wow,,, thanks for showing them all,,,, bj

well, i dont want to start another "jabo" thread for the sake of , well, ,, anyway,, Idea- why dont you Jabo sellers make these new ones like Pet marbles,, give them a born on date and stuff, make them a birth certificate with the name on it and all lookin proffesional and shit,,, it work for the pet rock and the cabage patch kids,,, now back to the fishin stories and gun fights,, lolololol,,, good morning,,, bj oops wrong thread, lololol, dont shoot me or throw me back in the water pleeeaassseee,,, lololol

Ive sold a vial once that said, " gold from uncle chet's teeth" ,, bahahahah,,, but stuff from chickens gizards,, lolol,, too funny,,, bj

Thank you, this is way better than having my ashes put in the nearest dumpster,, lol,,, now i have to change my will,, thanks for the link to this, neat idea,,,,bj

bar code, choking hazard, shiney bags, some with seams down the back, and a couple that dont have them like the draw string bags and the master bag seen below, most do have the seam down the center,,,there is older mk's out there that came in cerial boxes that just have cellophane tubes with no name, mesh bags are popular, its all in the look and by coming here to a forum to find out hoping you didnt screw up, lol,,, been there done that,lol,, good info on this thread,,,, bj

you can also look to see if it has a UPC code bar on the label, that could help date it, also the choking hazard written on it would say it a newer bag as well as the look of the marbles,,, bj

hmmmm, i guess ebay wasnt kidden when they said they would end all auctions that had check or money order in their desriptions, first time i think i ever seen alans ebay site blank,, dang ill bet hes pissed,,, bj

all pelts, a peerless with a portal, gaze inside the sphere, a true woody on muddy, and a 2 toned green (olive/lime) rainbo,,, that middle one was a gift from our local auctioneer, nice guy isnt he,, lol,, bj

didnt the "veenering" happen to colored marbles, ie: colored patch and colored ribbon types only?,, also would it make sense to "veener" a white ribbon or was that just the way the machines worked?,, i been thinking about this thread for a while and them questions made me think, smoke alarm went off in house,,lol,,, bj

hOW FREAKEN COOL IS THAT, I LOVE THAT mIKE rOW SHOW DIRTY JOBS,, MAN THAT LOOKS FUN,, THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS,, JEEPERS THATS COOL,,,BJ sorry caps lock 3<kick me

Amazing marble bro,,, love it,,,bj

AAAHHHHCHOOOOO, SNIFF SNIFF,, lol,,,bj

carpet rollers

Ive seen the sand pits of ottawa and back when i was hauling tankers i actually hauled some silica sand from that pit, it is a huge pit and the quality of sand is like no other,, they use alot of that sand now days to go into specialized cement such as colored grout, it is a top quality sand,, ya,,,bj

I always get in trouble when i talk about these, heres a photo of what i believe to be kookoo's, from what i understand koko's bought the machine from pelt because they had alot of extra scrap glass from their stained glass part of the business, so you will have to look at the colors real close, also they will glow under uv light,,,bj

great mibs Liz,,, question: is there a few thin, what looks like filaments running threw the center of them bigguns?,, i got a vitro that looks identicle to yours but is over 1 inch,, just curious,, thanks,,,bj

I wonder if he is ok, he sure is missed, i didnt know he was a famous artist, duh to me,, his webpage even shows the colorado addy,,,bj

Terry, yours is a well defined example,, very nice,,, The closest i got is a beat up, or as Scott put it, "Low end crap", lololololl,, too funny,, I do believe mine is a bunch of blends and bleeds but still is a cool looker,,,bj

Just killen time,,,,

Thanks Sami,,, My friend guy ,GRHS,was trying to put a set of rare clear NLR's together, I guess they are pretty rare to find, he had a superman a galaxie(i think) and a few others, i didnt get a chance to show him this one, looking at it you would think its a Multi color swirl but if you look closely you,i think, can see its actually a clear christmas tree, i think, what do you say?, its very cool in hand ,,,bj

sorry for hijackin the Rainbo thread,,, Tank,, here it is, it has a very small as made dink on it and looking at it you'de swear it has an internal fracture but its actually a line of bubbles between the colors, it looks like sulphides do when they have that silver surrounding figure,, i always wondereed and waited til someone posted anything like it, Im lucky i found it, it was tucked away with the multcolor swirls and i forgot where i put them,,lololol,,,,,enjoy,,, bj no aventurine in it, it has the classic pearless patch look but is clear and with green edit: it was to dark so i lightened it up

Tank- what is that last mib, i got one like it only with green instead of yellow,, it came in with pelts and has pelt features,, what are they?,,,bj btw- cool bo's everyone
