That was really informative, thanks all!

Dan

Those are amazing. I've never seen marbles that were that intricate.

Thanks for the pictures.

Dan

NEWBIE ALERT!

What does 1st/2nd run mean?

Dan

This is good news for me. My daughter's leaving for Japan on Sunday for her junior year of college. I bet I get some Japanese marbles for Christmas!

I was just joking! I probably shouldn't mess with that topic. Sorry.

- Dan

Just shows how important it is to some people to make a point - that he'd bust up some pretty marbles to prove exotics were "manufactured"!

Thanks for the pictures, Bob. It looks like a fun place to visit. Do they let people tour the place regularly?

Steve, if you set up a group tour, I'd be interested.

Dan

Ouch! I didn't mean to imply that the rest of you aren't "experts". Sorry if I offended anyone.

I'm finding this thread to be very disturbing as a "newbie". I really enjoy collecting CAC's, especially striped opaques, and my favorite (see the attached picture) is one which I bought from "grannie_june" who bought it at Running Rabbit. I was surprised when I was able to get it for less than what was paid at RR so I asked Alan about exotics. He said he has spoken to a person who had found some and they are legit. I guess I'd like to see that some of the "experts" (BT, Galen) are convinced about them too.
