  1. Hi Kevin,

    And thanks for the reply... Sony Cyber Shot is kind of vague... Any particular camera???

    I found a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX1 for $450, is it an over kill or what???

    Sorry Gene, look for a t70 or t100 touch screen, i promise you will love it, easy to use and i get great mib pics. If i'm not mistaken, Ric also bought one and i really don't need to say anything but look at his pics..

  2. Winnie, you can have that with any type of mib, not just WV swirls, i can't count the times ive been to flea markets and seen box's or bags of industrial Jabo's for 100$ to 150$ because the people thought they where old,if you buy some swirls or any type of mib and there not what you thought they where, then it's know ones fault but yours, i done it myself when i first started collecting, i bought 5 jars of Jabo's for 120$, but i could not blame the seller, only had myself to blame for not knowing.

  3. Bocci, some of those Rainbows are all that AND a bag of chips!

    Their value is based on how much anyone is willing to pay for them... Pretty much the same as any other luxury item. Jabos are no different... Yes, an antique is limited to how many exist.

    Well... So are Jabos. Is Steve's title for real??? Noooooo.... But, let's face it. People will pay what they want to own what they want... No one is FORCING anything...

    Am I crazy to buy Jabos?? I guess that depends on why I'm buying them....

    Am I crazy to buy ANY marble for more than 5ยข?? I guess that's my decision, right??

    If I like a marble and I can afford it, I'm gonna buy it...

    Who's business is it to tell me that it's crap if it's a Jabo, a Vacor, a machine made, a handmade, or a rare perfectly round gemstone puked up by the sea??

    Well put Sue! The thing everyone needs to realize is Steve likes pushing buttons and he succeeded again which i find hilarious, Galen we all know 3/4 G's and 3/4 F's are rarer, but Griff has hit the nail on the head. TIME will tell all, back when guineas could be had just like the new Jabo's they just simply was not as affordable, and who is to say there is not a HUGE CASE or crate of them sitting somewhere in some old house or garage? You simply can not know, in time and probably a long time, Jabo's will be highly collectible if and only if the hobby of marbles keeps growing, if it does not then CAC's, Akro's, Peltiers, Jabo's will all be worth nothing. Time will tell all IMHO.

    One thing is for sure, some of the newer Jabo's are nicer looking than any older marble ive ever seen, but i still like vintage marbles better because it's the hunt and knowing they are older and just harder to find imho, how many times can you just call up someone and say hey "I want 30 Akro's and 20 Peltiers with 10 CAC's" and have them delivered to your door step? You can't unless your buying out half a collection and that's why i prefer Vintage over newer, but it still doesn't stop me from buying and liking the new ones to because i buy WHAT I LIKE!!

  4. Interesting Bill, i will make a note of that..

    As far as Tator Bugs go...

    Here's the lot my Tator Bug came in, i found tons of nice mibs in this lot, bought them from a local gentleman who was moving to Florida and wasn't into collecting mibs anymore...

    (haven't came across one like this since i started collecting)

    Here's a Tator Bug that was in with all the other mibs.. They are pretty rare from what i understand...
