  5. Collectible Vacors.....(Questions)

    in General Marble & Glass Chat

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    *****In Memory of another marble Gaint, Weldon Eaton***** dws

    42.bjmarble Hi John,, Please keep the marble and give it to the next child you see for me. 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. If possible, I would like just a single header and baggy memento to put my fav in in honor of Alan. Jane

    63.griff-mo I already have a Marble Alan marble,so no need to send the one I just bought,,,,,keep rolling mine over too.Griff

    64. 5-fang-lu Alan was there when I first started collecting marbles. 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. I enjoyed looking at your auctions, learned alot about marbles from you and even bought a few (well, more than a few) marbles from you. Sorry to hear about your illness I will add you and your family to my prayer list. Thanks! Janice.

    71.72.mkw_designs Please send me one for my collection. One is to honor Alan, the other is to say thanks to Cheryl and everyone else who is working so hard.Marlene aka mkw_designs.

    87.titanphreak Alan, the marbles I have purchased from you are some of the favorites in my collection. My wife surprised me with one ay christmas time that I had shown her on Ebay - while bragging that you had the best quality available. You have also been very kind to answer my questions as a beginning collector. It is much appreciated. I wish you the best in your fight - in the coming months and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

    105.106.lucask7 Thanks Alan! You are in our thoughts and in our prayers! Kathy&Randy (lucask7)

    107.daveinva Do not ship the marble. 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.

    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.
