100% repro, Cotes MASTER LOAF was on an opaque white based PPP patch, there may be others on different base colors out there but I haven't seen them. The real comics and ad marbles are graphite stamped directly onto the glass w/ a thin coat of clear over it, you will be unable to scrape it off w/ your thumbnail unlike the repros which are cheap screen-prints that can be scraped off w/ a little effort. The repros are generally on the wrong sized mibs & the pic is always a little off (the SKEEZIX is exact though), many near or over 3/4" mark. I have yet to see a repro on a PPP but I can see the day coming especially since the Cotes & Tom Mix are so high dollar. I see the repros online all the time, they sell them in full sets as well with several that were never on Pelt mibs like "Mutt" &"Popeye" etc.... I think there's one Tom Mix on Ebay and Old nurse (Kathy Klatte) had a Cotes on consignment for a while, I believe it sold because I just looked & it's not there anymore. If it's not a PPP it's not a Pelt. comic or one of the 2 ad marbles. (Cotes & Tom Mix were ad marbles, the others were from popular Syndicate comic Characters of the day)Yes" I know some thief will be printing them on PPP's someday but I haven't seen one "yet" Just a side note, the set I have looks like it came off the rollers yesterday, I had to go through many comics to get the "wet mint" set I have now. Usually around couple grand $$ for a mint example of the Tom Mix or the Cotes !!

Yes, many are uv. all in curios now, worked in pretty tight so not looking forward to digging them out but I guess I'm gonna have too probably sooner than later !!

Smore ........

I see Pelt. onyx (slag) the slight amount of feathering going on is making me lean that way.

Yessir a nice buffet of mibbage there Bill !! ..... I'm gettin hungry again .... .... Them ashtray's looks like the main course, Deeliciouse

I meant to straighten them "all" out, not just find one Eyahhhghh, Ha, Ha Ha !! Better hit the store Brother, save me place in line while yer at it

Just everybody has an opinion on what qualifies as one and what doesn't. Almost like walking on eggshells, as you can see by Steph's post, always some question one way or the other. Not just cats, Popeyes and many others fall into the "Hybrid" abyss. I generally stay out of it because it's always the same thing. Conversation is good, the only way disputes are ever settled. Always a question ?? I guess if all the questions were answered we'd have nothing to talk about. I'm not taking any sides here but just sayin I agree w/ & believe Steph's definition of a "Hybrid" to be completely true !! Unintentional for one manufacture, Intentional for the other, now you see what I mean. "I" see most "definitions" as based on a general consensus, which makes sense, I guess we can all agree to disagree until the day this subject and many others reach resolution !!

now I gotta take those pix, the arm has officially been twisted !!

Here's where the "All Perspective" part comes in, "Hybrids" is & always has been a highly disputed term As I'm sure I'll get a reply to this post, never the less engagement is what we're looking for !! Just how things are finally ironed out.

More like "weeks" I've seen his garage He's got the fever just like we all do !!! If I had a garage you probably wouldn't be able to get much past the door !!

I'll third that motion....

Yeah !! A classic !!

Not speaking of any as yet "unnamed" mibs. Naming an unnamed type makes it more recognizable when trying to I.D. The "Renaming" "Changing of Factory Names" & "Reuse of Names" all just add to the confusion & cause disputes. I already remember Sherbets, so in my mind at least it's already stuck.

"Happy West Virginia Wednesday"

Yeah buddy, nice one !!

There's one bag of Vacors I wish I had !! I hear their not very common in the bag like that, or otherwise for that matter ??

More like "renaming" already named marbles, including trying to change some actual factory given names, ridiculous !! ?? What a trip. As if the myriad of names wasn't already on overload A lot of new collectors "yes" but a few just looking for their 10 seconds of marble naming fame. Throw it at the wall & see if it stick's type mentality I guess ??

Yesir, killer as usual !! You must have the market just about cornered on them boxes ??

Nice mib William, really like the colors in this one !! Kind of a "Scout Bo" Does it have a translucent Base ??

You're welcome !!!

See ya tomorrow, same "Bat Time" same "Bat Place" Must be a timeclock thing from work ?? Now I can't sleep ....

I'm up & have to get up again in 5 hrs. so wanted to post as soon as Tuesday got here so I could get some shut eye Promise Brad you can be first tomorrow, I posted the header but seconds later had to go to the "little boys room" so saved the icon while I was gone. I'll call ya "quickdraw" from now on Brother

"Happy Peltier Tuesday" At under the half inch Pee-Wee mark. A couple marbles I thought I'd never own. Two Peltier Wolverines & a Pee Wee Christmas tree. I was gifted this one as well as another along w/ a Pelt Pee-Wee transparent Christmas tree from 2 different "Marble Friends" I couldn't believe it. Both types were supposedly "Lunchbox" marbles and not production. I am grateful as well as humbled by my "Marble Friends" some beautiful marbles that will never be sold and are among my most valued possessions. The first Wolverine I got, in the box it came in the mail in. Both Wolverines are duplicates of each other & spotless wet mint. I can't tell them apparat ?? So a measurement and a pic w/ their namesake. I know I've posted all these before but this probably isn't the last time either. Both Wolverines along w/ the Christmas Tree. I have never met either of my "Marble Friends" and probably never will !! Never the less I treasure their Friendships immensely. Not because of the marbles, their just pieces of glass, but because even though we've never met they thought enough of me to call me their "Friend"

I know what I wanna call them both !! A big "Hmmm" from me as well, sittin on a bigger and bigger fence all the time here !!
