Here's a thread for examples: Mostly Pix - " Fakes ", Reproductions, Fantasy, Etc. Maybe after we have discussions like in this thread, the person with the marbles decided to be reproductions can add them to that thread. Could link back to the discussion if that would be helpful.

Start with these coin sulphides: Norbert Geitner, Germany, circa 2004. A little less than an inch in diameter.

This isn't for the marbles which newbies might mistake as old just from not knowing better, though helpful displays connected with that would be welcome. Right now I'm mostly thinking about Bulgarians or those scenic chinas or that eagle bennington or the Calfornia sulphides or those green sulphides reproduced by . Also Alox fantasy bags down on the lower dollar end. So those are some examples. Well, while I went searching for one of the sulphide examples I had in mind, I found this thread, Reproduction Marbles: Sulphides & More?. Which probably backs up Ron's concern about just having one thread on it and not a dedicated section. This kind of thread gets forgotten. Well, here's a new thread for samples. Hopefully the examples won't get buried in a bunch of discussion. Some discussion is okay. If there is a lot, I will probably break it off into a new thread, so we can hash things out and then post a summary here.

I could run that by Lou. What would we call it? I could see us running into potential problems, with people threatening to sue Lou. Not saying no. Just first having trouble thinking about a name which wouldn't be insulting to contemps which don't pretend to be fakes or repros. And then thinking about what kind of mail Lou might get from ebayers threatening to shut him down if he (they'll make it personal) doesn't stop libelling him. Edit: And one more reason -- there has been concern that some people would use detailed threads like that to improve their handwork. Like repro ceramic painters learning how to do more convincing paint jobs. I think I will start a thread though while we think more about this.

Yup, lots of old pictures were used with new information, and vice versa. I started to make a post about how I thought those sizes would be different from standard American sizes. And then I saw the 00 in the photo and backed it up. I thought size 4 might take us to 1 inch or more, but now I'm not guessing anymore.

Akro. Let's change the question to lazy cork or patch?

I dedicate this thread to Bob since so many had such understandable trouble picking only three. Now no one needs to choose. Post 'em all. Mike Close flower on a leafy base

A whole bunch of super marbles. But hidden? I'm not sure I'm seeing the right one.

Wandering around my computer looking for a marble and I found this.

Okay, I have two so far. A Superman And a naked razor ribbon ... like this here one of Lloyd's.

Fantastic! I adore your custom cases. Brilliant is the word.

Yes, that would be a fun project.

Thanks, Dan. Good job getting the images to post, Steve. The gallery is kinda cool when people figure out how to use it. And what a pretty marble. Sorry about the under the floorboard story. But the bling is awesome.

Congrats on the successful posting. Glad someone was able to answer. I'm useless with handmades. But I'm pretty good at bumping until we get someone who can answer. Thanks Ron for helping out.

I wonder what I could see in the photo if I made the browser background black and turned off the overhead light.

Getting a little misty here. I'm not kidding. That's a prince among Alleys.

Aw, c'mon you guys. Give Bob (and me ;-) some eye candy!

I just checked out the Bone-the-Fish site which replaced the Jump-the-Shark site to see what their voters thought. All 8 of their voters said "never boned" .... but sounds like they were talking about the original run only, and one person said he wanted to "to forget the remakes ever happened." There were 30 of the movies from 1985 to 1995. I didn't realize there were so many. So Raymond Burr did 26, then Paul Sorvino one, and Hal Holbrook three. Doesn't seem like MeTV has access to all 30. They loop back around to the beginning rather quickly.

Not familiar. Will keep my eyes open for a chance to be. I don't know why they kept the series going after Raymond Burr died. However, that wasn't the first time that he was absent and his friends showed up to try the cases instead of him. There was a string of about four episodes during the regular series where there were guest lawyers. Bette Davis was the lawyer in one of the episodes. Have we talked about this here?
