Gorgeous Marble. Always been a market for a Red/White/Blue marble. damn machine copys, lol. david

I will be listing 2 Atmosphere "bags" 3 in each fairly soon. I'll holler when they go up. I have your "addy" when I get a chance I'll bag you up some Vacor and send your way - if you dont see them in a couple of weeks -pm me a reminder. david There are a few vacor that have some value. If you buy "lots"(numerous) marbles to a listing, vacors are "naturally" occuring and I wouldnt chase many on ebay, maybe a "super" example. There are exceptions. I believe they belong in a collection along with all the moderns. I keep examples of the fakes I acquire. ie: "atlanta" civil war marbles. david

EDIT: I've had this link for years. Sometime ya cant see whats right if front of you. This "version" is a remix as a tribute to "IZ", I've always liked it that way because at the end I remember IZ. I missed that,... in times like these, some of the "interpretations" are too sad, and could be considered intrusive or insensitive. The "mix" is a tribute to IZ. The song is from IZ to you. I'm leaving the link. The Journey is for all, the sadness is a meant as a reminder of IZ. I know not, what tomorrow brings. the original post follows: I post this silly assed tune everywhere I go, dont know what it is, but it touches me deep. take the time. david "no energy is every lost, it jus changes form." - Albert E. & Jesus of Nazareth

Steph. Could you pin this thread? david

Sharon - once you open "edit" on your post, then open "use full editor". It will let you add images. david

For me Alan made marble collecting more enjoyable because - you could always ask him anything and he "took the time" to respond. His integrity was beyond reproach and his love for the hobby was undeniable. Alan always called it like he saw it whether it was in describing the condition of a marble or giving his opinion on politics or Ebay. We are loosing a GIANT and I for one can not thank him enough for everything over the last 15 years I have known him. Peace be with you my friend!!! Brad, 43.44.eagleridgegifts Resell them.

His influence and integrity protected countless newbies like me and promoted our interest in the hobby. I printed out many pages from his site and read them carefully, and I consider him my "teacher" in the field. His knowledge of marbles is astounding, and he's set a brilliant example for the marble collecting community. Alan has always been a paragon of honesty and integrity. He's smart, articulate, funny, and inspirational. Whatever happens, I will always associate marble collecting with Alan Basinet, and I will always be profoundly grateful to him for everything he's shared with us. I'm buying a marble, but please don't ship it. Please give everything to Alan. I'm praying for Alan and his family. With great respect and admiration, Laura B. 65.66. 402leeslegendarymarbles Hello, Marble Alan we (Lee's Legendarymarbles and Collectibles) would like to say "thank you Marble Alan". You are one of a kind just like the marbles you sell. Our prayer's are with you,your friends and family. You are a "LEGEND". Thanks for all the great advice and help, your friends always! Lee and Charles Batterton 67. bfridlin do not send the marble - Although I only know Alan from a couple of telephone conversatios, from his reputation and from buying marbles from him, it is hard for me to accept his desire not to accept treatment. I have been successfully treated for lymphoma ten times over 15 years in Atlanta and in Alabama at UAB where I am presently undergoing a bone marrow transplant at the UAB hospital in Birmingham. The pancreatic cancer treatment team at UAB has been successful in positive treatment of pancreatic cancer patients. If Alan would be at least willing to talk to them here at UAB, it would be great. I know a pancreatic cancer patient who has been successfully treated at UAB who would be willing to talk to Alan. Talking does not hurt. Please call me on my cell phone so that you can update me on the situation. Trying to help here. call xxx-xx2-3500 I am presently in Birmingham at UAB Hospital. I live in Troy, Alabama. Bert Fridlin Bert has made numerous attempts to pass this info to Alan - dws - 68.grandpamarble I can't express my sorrow for this sadest of all news. I had pancreatitis myself but caught it early enough to recover, one of the lucky less that 5%. I want to thank Alan for all of his courtesies and for his willingness to share his knowledge, always within 24 hours. No words can express my gratitude, or give an accounting of anything like the sum of his contributions to us all. The most respected authority in the field, ever. Thank you Alan, Terry 69.bobblocksmarbles Note from Marble Collectors Corner:here's an additional donation for alan. The last thing he should have to worry about right now is getting bills paid. *** +$250**** 70.dibsonmibs I just want to thank you for all the wonderful years of marbles you gave us on Ebay.

Send the proceeds including shipping fees to Alan.Im glad I'm able to help . 108.phbern1917 Of course I was shocked to hear from Alan from the hospital when he told me his terrible news. I am still at a loss for words 109.jimandy151A year ago I had malignant, inoperable, 4th stage cancer. 3 kinds. Now it's all gone. Don't give up. There are lots of things you can do in addition to what the oncologists say. One of the herbs someone recommended can be found easier under the name pau d'arco. Cat's claw is another good one. Get some tropical fruits like mangosteen & noni. Goji & acai are good, too. GET A LOCAL NATUROPATH. It's out-of -pocket, but the doctors will have you way in debt anyway. 110.007jpt I will say a prayer for you Alan, you have made marble collecting what it is now. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Kudos kudos well deserved and excellantly timed. A thank you from this collector to Alan B. and the Hall of Fame. thanks for the posting Alan. david

only 3 left the master box top right top left

Winnie I have bought the same exact combo with 5/8"(probably bigger 21/32") & 13/16" and the wirepulls out of Germany all in one lot. I believe same manufacturer for both also. Jus whar? lol david good look'n marbles all killer bill

Yes Bill Three are sold. Bottom right (large case) and bottom left the Akro &the Peltier cases are sold the rest are available.

Bottom left - Peltier & Akro case is sold. thanks, David

bottom right is sold. david still available

$30 you pick. Rylee knows the pics are up I should give her first choice I guess. Its 1:35 est if she aint picked that one at 2:35 est time its yours.

$30 each + shipping david

I have some, will try to get some pictures in the next couple of days. David

I dont have a pic handy, and mine arn't that color but they remind me of some marbles from Argentina - dont know if they were manuf. there.(but 3 lots of similar from there) They have a kinda peltier feel to them though. most of mine are blue/white. I'll get you a pic soon. david

I was thinking about running a "multiple available" 30 day Ebay auction. probabably a non discript (game marble) 1000 available. with a buy it now of $25 or $50. Comments? / suggestions david and since his PO box is common available knowledge include it for direct to Alan payments. I would not consider my purchase of one a donation, more of a buy Alan a dinner item. Alan may very well not like it, but hes on drugs so I aint listen.n - thats a joke - but a lill one.

I've got the camera put up and the pictures I have dont show much differant. Its a brother to that last one in the copperhead thread, it doesnt have that "oilslick" patch but could be same run otherwise. heres 1 I'll get some better next week. this is the one in the other thread. thanks

bump

and what even who is this guy thanks for looking, david edit 2 more

Is this one a woody?

Could be they wanted a Agate look stone david
