  1. I am surprised at that. While the number of walk-in people for the actual show varies around the country, usually the "regulars" come for the in-room trading and, at least, stay for the first half of the show (they may be manning their table). I've gone to only the Texas Show and a spring WV show besides the regular west coast shows in Seattle area, Orange County (L.A.) and Las Vegas. To financially support the show, most regulars at the in-room trading also pay for a table at the show (some of them don't even man a table) but they are there. Unless it is a popular local show, the attendance fee helps just a little towards the oevrall show cost. Just my two-bits.
  2. Here was a salmon/pink color Rainbo of mine that I took a picture of a few years ago - only one view and I can't find it right away to take more.
  3. Here's a pic of one of my bags that looks to have similar translucent type base glass in some of the marbles.
  4. That's the fun of buying a large lot - sorting, finding surprises, learning, etc. I bought many that way when I first started collecting.
  5. Price?......you call that a price?........LOL......(probably a 20th of your high bid!) (good find)
  6. It mentions being over 3/4. I cna't remember if the New Old Fashioned got that big. Otherwise, I agree that it fits theChampion New Old Fashioned perfectly.
  7. Nice to see a different game and people enjoying marbles. Thanks!
  8. On the 081, 087 pics, I'd be thinking Champion.
  9. My calendar must be off (I have this coming Sunday as the date...?) but any time to wish a Marbleous Birthday is a good time!
  10. My first thought if someone posted a picture would be Alley. Haven't seen a CA like that so it must be rare!
  11. Neat idea - works for shipping a marble or two, too.
  12. Neat items - thanks for sharing.
  13. Here's a group of 3 pics of 5 Paul Bunyans that David C. put together for Stacy
  14. Winnie's do look foreign to me, along the lines of the Far East types.
  15. I can't remember if I had one in a bag or not. The green glass cage style shooters show up in some Vitro bags. Here's a picture of the pink and peach cat's-eyes that I got via Raelyn in her Vitro find and from Don.
  16. Here's two pics of a 2 agate box that someone posted in 2008
  17. I have not seen the larger bag like that before. Too bad I missed it on eBay. I have just seen the smaller cello type bag with 5 shooters. I have always considered this to be one of the bags that someone made, not to rip people off but to make an interesting bag.
  18. All of the above are correct and it is the same reason that antique shops sell marbles in jars and many of the eBay sellers are people who sell in antique shops or antique malls
  19. Also, a list of top 30 cat's-eyes done by Marlow Peterson in 1999 (Co-author of Cat's Eye book.
