stickin it to you... and then buyers have to pay a buyers premium, so they are getting it both ways, kinda like ebay. You would have been better off pricing them and sending out a master list to everyone, too late now...

BLOCK’S MARBLE AUCTIONS #1103 Sunday, September 30, 2012 8:00PM NYC time http://www.blocksite.com/marble-auctions/block-s-marble-cyberauctions/

wow Bill, that's incredible

can we move the show back to Columbus please

I want to hear more about the detectives that showed up...

the circus marbles were more like CA striped opaques, bright colors and a seam, they really popped in bright color.

mark, stop trying to kiss up, it's not going to get you any better marbles. Steve tell us really whats going on and why you are upset, maybe we can help.

I think there is also concern that the 2 show organizers are involved in running marble auctions so anything coming in might be diverted to these other auctions, or the shows might be used as a source to solicit inventory to be sold at the auctions later in the year. Some say conflict of interest, or some say a good way to drum up business. In other words, what started as a club show is now turned into something else. scratching head... is that legal?

how many people actually walk off the street to go to the actual show? personally I don't like the show part, I feel more comfortable walking into someones room, sitting down, taking my time looking at stuff. During a show you are bent over a table and feel rushed, so you make bad purchases and sometimes the lighting is not good. I read on another board that police detectives were at the show interviewing people over something.

camike might bid on it and call it the rarest ca marble to be found, snuck home by a factory worker in his sock

here is the sellers update LOL I have had an inquiry from a marble collector who does not believe this is a Christensen Guinea, he believes it is a Contemporary Guinea. I respectfully disagree. Look over the pics and judge for yourself.

Will mike show up with newly discoverd mint 7/8 CA cyclones? Will Clyde finally decide to sell a marble? Will smitty open his room? Will griff go swimming? Will Tom Reed show up with his jabo cutlet? Stay tuned....Canton 2012 summer fling!
