duffy

i dont think it has anything to do with free speach...its againts the law to yell fire in a crowded movie theatre.....lotsa times its not what you say by why or when you say it....i dont know the whole story but im purty sure its nothin to do about discussions here....galen tried to be cute and it backfired on him....if you dont read scott patricks board and tom reeds board you could not see the big picture......

teehee!!!!!!!

google riker cases...

even though youens talk funny you still get a birthday wish from usens down here...

....if the stars of the article...[sturtz] would have been another person...galen would have said nothing......this just didnt start with this article here....noone can say anything good about the experimentals without galen dissing them...is that discussion in an open forum...no...... thats throwin salt in the wound....the jokers were promoted and hyped to death and mr wilcox was paid to show disagreement...to keep the discussion going...to get people thinking...in other words..to dupe people...not nescessarily the way id do it...kinda a back door approach... bo...the reason folks get disapointed when they post sumptin for id and find out its a jobo is prob because they paid big money for it and now their investment is kaput......whatever.....its a personal thing and galen cant wait to jump on sturtz.......nothing to do about marbles...i dont know if it jealously or someting else but sturtz is the main reason for the disdain....if the star of the article woulda been someone else the article wouldve been accepted in a different way....bo it would be better if nothing was said if the thing said was said to cause hate and discontent......oh i forgot the blanket disclaimer .....imho....peace steve

nope lou...no problem...i dont want my words to be misunderstood... i was disagreein..... not attacking....looks like it ok as long as your sayin that youre disagreein ....i don't want any misunderstandings either...once we disagreed and like of a sudden my disagreements got turned into attacks...... capish??

another weak attempt....you could have said nothing than to say dave wasnt an artist...how should that matter to you...all i am sayin if you dont like it dont bother with it...simple...you did hijack the thread...not a personal attack...but youre gettin close to attackin me by sayin i cant comprehend what you say....you said lotsa people were better at what dave does....not an attack....you should invite all your very cl,ose friends here so they can put forth their ideas...not a personal att ack...did they appoint you their representive....not an attack....let them speak for themselves...not an attack..you insulting and judgemental..not an attack...just disagreements....ill say again.....just by-pass the thread about the jabos...it wont hurt you....not an attack...you always twist words after you say one thing then its something else why galen...is it important to you to belittle people....some people like these marbles...you belittle em by sayin theyre not worthy...it would be better if you said nothing.....but your opinion is too important to all the other vintage collectors on the planet...not an attack...

i saw some marbles made at jabo prior to the superman run that showed aventurine or mica ....daves got em in his office....i dont think they poured tons of it in but it was there....i could go back and ck some in my archives and see if i can find any ,,but im gettin ready to watch football...bo that was funny about the space craft but i didnt hafta pee in my trou...i can see where some would belittle a mans work but see no point in it...dave makes nice mibs and tries to do what the people want...an article written by somone ,not into marbles showed enthusiam for the hobby and got the idea across...im sure she didnt write it to be the subject of collectors who pick things apart like we do....but to get across the idea presented to her by the questions she asked...i could see where she would ask about where to get em and ebay was the answer.....a self promotion prob but who got hurt?? sure the experimentals are nice and pretty and show some things that are unique but to make fun of a guy [dave]thats put his whole working life into it is not very nice.... i could build a house with a hammer and nails or use a nail gun....the nail gun would win... i didnt invent it but i could pound a nail into a 2by4 with a rock... if you disagree with the marbles- fine just leave em and dave alone.....if you wanna use a rock to drive 16 penny nail -fine....everybody knows ca are the primo marbles and that certain people like pelts and worship the plant on ottawa...but jabos are jabos....take em or leave em....not intended to be a personal attack on anybody but come-on get real....dave would prob give ya some marbles if ya asked him.....maybe one of the experimentals not connected to any experimental runs......in closing steelers 27-ravens 17....

maybe the article shoulda said living machine marble maker.....i would bet that dave could mix up colors easy enough and ca did use cullet from cambridge glass...although i haint a dues payin member of the name droppers socitey i would think that howdyshell could take his candle to any of these dudes and hold it up.. daves good at what he does.....his management of the experimental runs shouldnt be made light of....unless of couse if ya want black marbles.....

nope...good buy...you dun gud....

st marys alley

please explain..... i dont get it????

sounds good bo.....thanks for doin sumpthin for the collectors on this contraption....might just bring a little fun back,too....

also an older bag would have a seam up the back of the bag...those bags are new.....

have a happy birthday.....you old bag..............collector......

congrats on the semi-retirement , dave....now youll have lotsa time to do your thang...

with that tadpole lookin thingy....i wouldnt rule out jackson.....many of those wv swirls are common to each other.....thats why the catagory was made in the first place....

i dont sense your amazement here? id bet berry and sellers were business partners and sellers maybe thought that berry was a marketing genius....he just said you gotta put my name on the box.....course i haint talked to em...maybe you could ask roger howdyshell next time you talk to him...lololol.....but seriously...remember these were toys meant for kids....times were much different than these times......they sold and marketed marbles in many ways....the cereal premiums the bank giveaways etc....there were tons of marbles out there.....

i agree bob...they prob were made in the same time era... thyre purty fer sure....

is that right galen...youre amazing...

i thought the king wanted proof that there was vaneering going on lately.....that was funny though alan....

heres from 03..looks vaneered from here....

yeah right galen...dont worry about it.i tried to give the info once...you wont take facts.....tell me why all these spidermen have surfaced./..you have all the true facts...

whatever.......people use any tactitcs to sell em...if jim sez theyrte dug maybe he was told dug...jim haint no digger...if hes got dug marbles then hes bought em or paid somebody to dig em....thats all im sayin....since steph has join the discussion it time for me to exit...bye-bye...cut and paste this.....
