Finally got a couple wall mount displays, made a little more room only problem is their already full. Started out like this !! A few days later !! I squeezed in another 100 but that's it, the shelf on the bottom is now stuffed as well. I was short a few shelf supports so the display company sent another whole display saying they don't send partials so now I have one more to fill as soon as I get to it, quite the undertaking, leveling & bolting it to the wall. Then it's time to work the mibs in. I can already feel my neck & back throbbing with joy

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
Chad G. replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
It all comes back sooner or later as a blessing in one way or another, sometimes totally unexpected like the score you got, one good wet mint av. royal is worth more than double the $60.00 you paid for the entire bag, not to mention the Pelts, man what a deal !! -

Chad G. replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Most royals w/ av. I've ever seen at once, no wonder I can't find any !! "Great" find is the word. -
Agreed Jason, any and all things added for benefit of the members use, ease of access & or navigation of the site will attract new ones. I really like the one click "Like" (or dislike etc..) button, gonna save a lot of people a lot of key strokes. I'm not a FB guy myself, busy enough as is !!

My pleasure Al, you're welcome, I'm more than happy to help out !!

Almost a naked divided ribbon core looking at this pic & the distance between the outside white caged ribbons & the actual outside of the marble, 25 mm, very near an inch and looks to be in great shape, nice clean pontils w/ no visible damage or wear. $20 - $30.00 tops at least that's what I'd give for it personally Joep !! I like the blue jelly ribbons riding alongside the red ribbons. " A Very Nice clean mib"

I recently got a new green pelt feather slag, a good size at almost 23/32nds. This pattern is getting harder & harder to find, especially the full rooster tail, but some tail is better than no tail

I'm gettin hungry for some mAKROni.....

Yep !! Still a win, still a wiger I'm a keepin it.

Maybe a Japanese transitional ?? I know the pinch looks way to small & more of a crease on Japanese ?? More like a shear but I can't place it anywhere else ?? Canadian ?? Definitely not a cold roll. My brain hurts !!

Left is either a slag or Vacor & right appears to be a Ravenswood Blue Raven, definitely a Ravenswood

Been a while since I've seen any crows worth looking at, nice clean mib Ron !!

Yeah, takes a bit to get through the tough, tasteless candy shell but after you do it tastes just like yummy , delicious clay 🤣

Yes love the broken cork patter, checkerboard is my favorite but as you know VVHTF. 23/32nds wet superboy, the cork actually almost makes it on this one, starting points at the top & bottom are visible & the break is visible in the center of this pic. I need to take a few more pix with better views. I noticed your wiger right away when it came up, I have a pic of mine as well, not as nice but still a wiger.

I have some that were custom made out of very heavy Brazilian hardwoods, I'll contact him & see if he will send overseas. Here are a few boxes the person I know made for me. He is well known here & his work is impeccable. All boxes were made to my specifications and from the wood of my choice. I have a few more being made right now & will post them probably within the month. From $35.00 to over $100.00 depends on size & material. Here are a few pics of the boxes I have. All of these have magnetic locks but he can put the regular hasp on them if you like. I will Email him tonight Joep & see what he says about overseas.

WOW !! some big ones indeed Joep, I believe the ones I see in the Ebay sale I posted are smaller but I have no way of knowing Because you know as well as I they made some big cats also, but the stone does look very similar, I think your jasper guess is probably spot on. Some big, heavy chunky ones for sure. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of one of those.
