Man Chad that is a beautiful beast !

Those orange ones are terrific Melissa !

Some good lookin Daragon/Guacamaya types with a lot of yellow. 9/16”

Real nice stuff Melissa !

Thanks Chad and all! I’ve got an appointment with Dave Lenz to dive a little deeper into his Christensen collection, looking forward to that!

Thank you so much Chad 🌟

So sorry to hear of Ron’s loss. This will be very difficult for many of us for quite some time. Sending prayers and condolences to his family and close friends, he was a treasure. 🌟

Awesome spread Ron ! Mike I think I should add that the reason you don’t see those particular Champion marbles in that video….in mixed lots often, is because they’re newer . A lot of older played-with mixed lot marbles you find are too old to hold 80’s -90’s Champions. I hope that makes sense.

This has inspired me to go to my nearest coastal landfill. The Atlantic Ocean has ripped a big gash in it over the years and there’s usually good pickings after high tide.

Thanks for sharing Chad ! 🔴

Thank you Chad ! Shows are definitely on the uptick from what I’m hearing. Sharing a photo of some Champion Red Clouds I recently saw.

Awesome stuff !

Some cool variations there Mojo !

Thanks for the mention Chad! 🔵

Sharing scan of an original photo that Ken Humphrey allowed me to take this past spring of the J.H. Leighton Stuebenvillne factory site. Dated 1902. He also had Leighton’s marriage certificate dated 1881, registered in Chicago, Illinois.

Hi Travelers! Very nice words there ! Welcome back to the hobby. I am currently working on a few Kokomo Opalescent videos. I hope to publish the first on within a couple of weeks.

Hi Chad , I have an advanced copy . This has about 17 thick stock pages of full color group shots on each page with the name of the marble type on each group. Otherwise, there is no text , a good reference for identifications . 700 photos, 300 named types and oddball color combinations . Hardcover book about 12” x16” Terrific for the hardcore Vacor collector!

Thank you Chad for sharing! William that’s a cool Sphinx moth sighting! I saw a few Lunas and just one Sphinx this year. Very nice !

Thanks Chad for sharing ! Ron set this video appointment up for us and I felt lucky to tour the vault, and happy to share it. I had nearly an hour of video footage I had edited down to make it flow right for a video. We never got to her Christensens and other goodies. Absolutely impressive displays that went on for miles .A big thanks to Ron , Nola & John .

Ron Chuck Brandstetter was right on the mark ! once in a while I can find them cheap locally at the flea markets but the cat is out of the bag on the internet for high end Trilite types. Sorry to hear about Dianne!

Those are awesome Ric !! Very hard to find

Thanks guys ! Ric they are all about 5/8”

Some Vienna beauties

Nice marbles and an pretty awesome puzzle, especially in that condition!

Thanks guys for the share ! Lots of good fun in this one !
