    That's pretty much what it boils down to! I think I see an Alley coral in the book photo too. With time comes information, and with information comes change. Lots of books have mistakes, including the one I did with Eddie, but we have to record what we know or think we know in the meantime. If not, information would slowly be lost.

    What a great time y'all! Thanks to everyone who came!! Lots of people from around the country, loads of marbles and money changing hands! Great people, new and old friends, people I can't wait to see from show to show. Good food, awesome hotel and staff, and on a few occasions I heard how well sales were. Debbie said she thinks this was a record show for sales, another guy said this one smashed all previous shows for sales. I couldn't be happier! Check out the pics, also shown are a couple pics of some of us eating pizza provided to showgoers on Friday night The welcome screen on the TV screen in the event center was provided by the hotel owner, a surprise to us! What a great family owned and oriented hotel... they really go the extra mile to accommodate us and make us welcome every time. 5 of 5 stars without hesitation!

    It started for me in the mid 1980s. Maybe 85 or so. I was visiting my grandparents and my mother went up in the attic and found her old marbles from when she was a kid. There were marbles from the early 1960s on back to turn of the century. I collected anything you can imagine, and knowing they were old interested me. Then when we were at a local antique store, I noticed the owner had some marbles in a case behind the desk. I asked him about them and he loved how much I was interested, so he started telling me about those cool corkscrews I liked so much and others. He sold me a few as I could afford them and I was totally hooked. I asked for old marbles everywhere I went. I thought I had it bad back then... lol if I only knew. But it's just fun, what really matters isn't made of glass.

    No, if you go look at the original post #1, it says the photos were removed partly because of members and moderators? I don't know, it doesn't matter. I found them. At least some. I'm not sure why but I'm sure Alan has good reason as he is a rational person IMO.

    It's a common WVS. Not knocking it by saying common, it's still a nice looking marble but a transparent WVS, probably Ravenswood. Spin, clockwise or counter clockwise doesn't mean anything really.

    Thanks for the heads up on that. I don't know why it's not working, but here it is!

    Well I came here to reference a certain type and the info has been removed. I don't know why, does anyone have a copy of the original post photos? I guess I should have downloaded them.
