Thank you!

Greetings, felicitations and salutations. Good hunting...

Much thanks to Dave McCullough formerly of JABO Inc. the Original Joker Team, including Rick Hall, Jim King, and Burt Wilkins all of whom have sent marbles over the past two years to allow me to photograph and keep or sell so we can have these images for future generations. To see larger images of all these stunning marbles please visit this link: http://biblefreak.or...ranberry_Types/ Original Joker 2008 Cranberries and Family These are among the rarest of the JABO Joker I or (JERK) marbles. Five distinct family types having been identified with many variations represented within each family. I have tried to represent here the families in such a way as to allow a great over view. Included in these groups are the Pre Cranberry Gold Lutz Aventurine marbles. These rolled off the line prior to the Cranberries, and the presence of Lutz in these marbles has here to for gone largely unnoticed. I have dedicated the first 25 images to them since they are stunning. Lutz Aventurine Pre Cranberries (Images 001-025) These were produced by mixing crushed Green Aventurine and Gold Lutz and you can clearly see Gold Lutz showing in the mixture and the appearance of Oxblood where the Lutz transitions and burns into Oxblood. Jim King recalls the idea of making the Lutz more stable in the furnace by mixing the Green Aventurine with the Gold Lutz, since the Lutz alone was burning into Oxblood. Look closely at these images, and you will see clearly that’s exactly what happened. The Green tends to over shadow Lutz but the Oxblood running parallel and in the Lutz Aventurine streams is conclusive. Type I White Slag Ruby Oxblood and Aventurine (Images 026-145) Showing lots of white, treads of Oxblood, some Lutz Aventurine and varying degrees of Cranberry glass. These are by and far the least pretty of the Cranberry family, as can be seen in these examples, Lutz Aventurine remain, with thin to thick shocks of oxblood adding to the Cranberry colors. Type II Ruby Aventurine and Opaque White and Cream (Images 046-060) Generally identified as Cranberries by most of the Joker Team and the Collecting Community, these transparent gems are stunning in hand, in the sun light and are highly valued by collectors. They tend to show a mixture of Lutz Aventurine and White opaque swirls. They vary widely with the greatest distinguishing characteristic being the predominance of the dark transparent Cranberry glass. Type III Ruby, Aventurine, Cream Opaque and Oxblood (Images 061-085) Loaded with FAT, Thin and Wavy Oxblood and showing copious amounts of Cranberry glass on an opaque White or Cream base usually with scant amounts of Aventurine, these are stunning examples of Joker I craftsmanship at its best. These are highly prized and as rare as the Type III’s. FAT Oxbloods rock from this family. Type IV Opaque Cream with Ruby (Images 86-105) Having a larger Cream or White base with varying amounts of Aventurine and Oxblood with windows of Cranberry glass throughout, this type is very pretty in hand. These often have lots of Cranberry glass which appears brighter as a result of the more prominent presence of the opaque base. Type V Apricot Aventurine (Images 106-115) These Cranberries show a thoroughly mixed opaque base with the Ruby glass producing a bright orange akin to a ripe Apricot, thus the name. This can include threads of Aventurine and Oxblood in varying amounts.

JABO Exotics EXTREME

$22.00 worth a lot during the Civil War, practically worthless today.

I love you BERT! ROFL!!!!

Marbles are worth whatever anybody is willing to pay for them and the price is set in the minds of those who purchased them at the price they were willing to pay. If deception was in the works then buyers/sellers have justification to be upset. But anyone who purchases anything hoping for the value to increase is gambling. One tornado, one flood, one earthquake, one drunk driver, one blowout, one E.L.E. and what will it all matter? JABO marbles will go up in value! This is an absolute. There will also be times in which collections (boxes now sitting in various rooms) will be sold for under market price, but the same is true of all commodities. The price of Gold is set buy supply and demand, so are JABO marbles. Those fortunate enough to either be in the know, or know how to look at and view the market trends will do better. But the collectors, the ones who's hearts are moved by the glass, who see the things only a collector can see.... PRICELESS! I spent about $300 for 10 marbles 2008. 5 Joker I Originals, Two Joker II (Cyclone, Cobra, Blood Viper) types, and a few Oxblood Aventurine Oxblood's. Today they are worth about $120 - $230 retail, on ebay with decent marketing. The J-I Cranberry is worth about $25-50 I usually sell them for about $20. Less if you come over and are buying a bunch of stuff. But I have a box of 11 that will knock your socks off and it's worth $1000 and not a penny less. Just because you might not be willing to pay that, doesn't mean my price is not valid. And I'm not gambling, because tomorrow I might just give them away. See I am a collector marbles are just one thing I collect. Everything is for sale. I believe this whole heartedly! The question becomes not the value set in the minds of those looking to buy, but the sellers price which just maybe "PRICELESS." The term itself makes the point. We don't sell our children, our wives, or any number of other things (including marbles- even JABO's) Some people do... There are lots of reasons for this, details are not necessary. But when it comes to marbles, gold, silver, diamonds, meteorites, antiques, grandmas glass eye, or whatever valuable we might sell- the collector sets the price. The value may be "PRICELESS" but the "FOR SALE" reality is the reason the "PRICELESS" label is there. Not because we will never part with the item, we know the day will come when we will. But not for money. Or maybe someone we love will need money so bad, we become willing to part with what is "PRICELESS" to help someone who is even more "PRICELESS" to us. Value is relative. Maybe we see the look in a child's eyes when they see the "PRICELESS" item, and suddenly the price has been paid in full by the twinkling eyes, and suddenly the items leaving us as the twinkle turns into a massive grin accompanied by unbelieving eyes, and WOW! "PRICELESS" If you're buying JABO's as an investment, you better buy very low, the prices will increase. But the beauty, pattern quality, colors, and uniqueness will determine the value of your investment only in so far as the buyer is willing to shell out his or her dollars. You're better off buying the ones you FEEL are "PRICELESS" then no matter what, you will be happy with your purchase and that's what collecting marbles is all about. Yeah I know, I said to much.... Blessings!

Your awesome!
