30-40 rooms at decatur this year, the show is going to be big, 250 fliers went out in the mail, plus the drive from Indy to decatur is full of amazing midwestern scenery and fantastic adventure. I will be there with some great marbles to sell. I have a collection I purchased and it's full of nice stuff.

someth ing is wrong with my camera, its making marbles looks like eggs

tell us the story of how you found the 2 large guineas, I thought you consigned them to Alan, I bet it was hard to let them go.

never seen one before, what is that a flying snowman on the top of the box?

found in a wall during remodeling of an old house?

mIke has the largest collection of 7/8 guinea's in the world :jumping-1020:

i suspect 40 or 50's, marbles are probably not original but they look very nice. no date

probably fake... no just kidding

hey galen, hit me up again on some of your chinese checkers boxes. - greg

folks, jump on those peltier ambers, alan showed me a few many years ago and they were stunning.I don't know who has them but they are very rare.

for sure jabo

5\8 value $25.00 most of the common color popeyes in 5/8 size are worth $25.00, only hybrids and red/white/blue will bring a premium price 11/16 raises the common colors value to around 35-45 depending on condition and design.

what size sold for 135.00? 9/16, 5/8 and 11/16 go from anywhere between 25 and 45 in mint condition. I have 3 mint 3/4 florescent green/yellow popeyes. The 3/4 mint florescent popeyes are extremely difficult to find and I would value them in the 135.00-150.00 range.

I picked this up BIG 2 15/16 Matthews Rainbow from Bert Cohen, This makes my 3rd rainbow swirl, I just love how they look.

Here is a recent pickup for $20.00 I have another board shaped like this but lacks the green bottom

great, now which ones are for sale?

wow, nice ones. I have 10 mark Matthews gumballs, 1 larger Matthews gumball, 3 Matthews big rainbow swirls, a turquoise blue bubble, and a Matthews solid core. I have 6 josh simpson planets and a gravitron. I just love the little matthews gumballs, so simple but so bright.

david, want to sell that box , I will buy any chinese checkers boxes in good condition. Greg

Folks, Take a look at Bert Cohen's Ebay Store. He has a ton of marbles and is one of the pioneers of marble collecting. Bert has been selling since the 1960's and has promoted many of today's top Contemporary Marble Makers. http://stores.shop.e...e-to-marblebert

I agree with Galen and let's not forget about buffed marbles.

just send it to morphys lol

take it to canton, it might end up in morphys next auction

ps. galen, you're gonna need more than that to pay for your plane ticket. maybe camike will show up with his carnival of marbles and more newly discovered 7/8 ca guniea's lol
