we had a real bad storm go through our area on friday, its 6;30 pm sunday now, and cable , phone, and internet went down friday at 6;30pm,,, i faired the storm ok its just having to dig out the dvd to keep the noise going in here so i dont go nuts, lol,, anyway, there are trees down all over our town, they ripped up power lines cable lines ect,, i had internet for about 15 minutes after the storm then it went poof,, jeepers,, downtown and other parts are still without power,,, ya it was bad, 90mph gust one thing i will work toward getting and thats a cell phone, you have no idea how hard it is to find a pay phone these days, they are disapearing,, lololol,, anyway if i didnt answer your emails thats why,,, bj

i like the look of them mibs reguardless if there old/new,, nice score,, you must be doing some digging around at home,,your back to the 1987 pile keep going im loving the pics,, bj

rich, is there any way you mite not be seeing the color rite, i was sorting some mibs earlier to sell off and the closest i came to is a real bland purple, but no grey yet, im still looking,,, be safe out there,,bj

a while ago i had santa rich try and fix this ribbon core for me, i knew it was a long shot but it was one strike away from falling apart into a bunch of pieces, the green in the band has aventurine

well, were all on the look out for mibs, wild or whatever, i have several websites i go to to look for them because getting around is getting worse for me with this massive hernia i have,, anyway i email a person who posted a garage sale ad saying they have marbles,, i emailed them and ask them because of the cost of gas could i get some pictures of what they had , my old van gets 11 mpg so i can only hope they send pics,, i get this email back from them and it makes me mad that people out there take advantage over elderly people,, just burns me up sometime,,, for those of you that are rolling your eyes, just remember The Golden Rule,,, thats my vent,,, heres what they said,,, bj I have pounds of them. I just have not decided which to sell and how to sell them (by the cigar box or ziploc bag or what. I do not know anything about marbles - I have just collected them for years as I liked them. My husband and I are retired now and need to downsize (and the $ will help). We live near Rochester if that is closer. I have had bad luck in the past at garage sales with people switching marbles from box to box or bag to bag and in one case, actually buying the cheaper box and taking (without paying) the better box. Hence the reason I am hesitating about taking too many to the sale. I have to depend on the honesty of the buyer, and it is really my responsibility to give the items a value. I will try to find time to sort out some mixed groups, Totally understand your concern with gas prices. Thanks for your interest.

i love helping out people when i can but because of people out there in need of the allmighty buck messes it up for the honest people,,, why?, greed,,,

i have to agree with this statement,, it just doesnt make any sense whatso ever to throw such awesome and colorful mibs away, if i was to make these as a worker and would have shown them to my boss he would have to be nuts not to see they fit into the quality category of this company, just look at them no fractures no out of rounds,,, just dont make sense that them were found under ground,,, great story though,,,bj

I hate myself for asking this and i dont want no pm, just a simple answer to a simple question,, ok here it goes, dont hate im just curious were these mibs dug under the guise of being historical artifacs and needed to be in a museum?,, if not how does one approach a land owner to dig up their property for profit,, i watch American digger and I dont buy the way savage goes about actually getting people to do this?,,, thanks ,, bj

there i go with the politic-ing again dang it,,my bad

this is all i have, a book, sorry i couldnt be of more help but there sure are some cool mibs in this book, worth the money,, bj

pelt

lol, this is about the smartest post ive seen,, funny to

whoa i needs a nuthah insulin shot looking at those,, nice collection,,,j

type in leopard into the search engine i think their mk's found at the dump site not sure ,,j

ive always heard it was the old steel beer cans, but you wont find that in any documented mentionables,, it was a way to get rid of the evidence and gave us some cool looking mibs,,,lolololol

i hope you dont mind but i sure would like these pics in the MC folders for years down the road to discuss,, many times ive used the search engine for research only to find the dreaded red x,,bj

thats a pretty good catch,, ya know i think the white oxbloods came in a package of 100, i say this because one time i bought a jar with almost a hundred in it at one time, it was the only mibs at the sale,, i sure would love to see the packaging to verify, havent yet,,, the blue greens are always awesome,, and corks are fun,,, nice score,,, bj

im not against you guys on this i just want to say in speeds defense photographing peach or pink glass is very hard to capture with alot of cameras,,, i have a pink cullet chunk, i got close to payne, ohio at a sale one time and could not take a good nuff picture to get the color,, may or may not be the case here just saying,,, bj just found the pictures in my files. this is pink in hand, pink as pink can be but look how dark it shows

the only reason i said dug is years ago there was a thread on a mib called a spotted lepard found only at the dump that had that same spotting going on in the bands,, but you guys are the experts on torchworks,,them spots in the yellow just brought back a memory,,, my bad,,,bj just hadnt seen a torchworked mib that left a hole in it, what looks to be a heat pop ground clean,, curious maybe a ground cullet mib?

5/8 in. in the title, 3/4 in the desription,,, looks dug or maybe possibly a jabo,,j

i dont hate anyone,,, i think your imput however one sided alot of times is very very informative and i enjoy looking at your collection,,,, knowledge is something you can flaunt and/or embrace,, you just have compassion for your marbles, i get it,, marble on,,, bj

that thunderous boom you just felt was me fainting on the floor Galen, ive always learned from your post,, now your telling me you were wrong along the way,, what the heck,,, can you tell us what you were wrong about for the record,, ive been collecting for a while and i havent stop learning yet ,, :)
