  1. Randy G's (RIP) picture - Blackies in top sections, Whities in bottom sections.
  2. The first reaction is that this is a fantasy bag. It is not made by a marble company or a known producer of bags (like Pressman or Penny King, etc.). It is newer. It does not have a certain type of marble or marbles made by a certain company. It does not have the vertical plastic seam on the bag. In the past, I have used the "fantasy" bag term mainly for those bags that were made to fool people into thinking they were older bags and, thus, more valuable. I don't think this was made to fool people necessarily (just a gut feeling). Other bags that I think similarly about are the Shur Shooter, Arcade, Bogart Classics, Astro Cat Eyes, etc. That being said, I think most knowledgeable collectors would say that it fits in the "fantasy" bag category.
  3. I have two similarly labeled bags but no further information.
  4. Here are some of the Taiwan bags with the Bell logo - one has double bells.
  5. Those could very well be Peltier. There are a lot of varieties of banana cat's by Peltier. Here is a bag that I opened with the varieties.
  6. Here's your critter on a bag. I have several different count bags like this. And also a newer, I assume, Azuma bag - no space critter, just a cat.
  7. Welcome back. Glad to read that your health is improving.
  8. I had not thought about this before but maybe the shooter size cat's-eyes should be called Tiger Eyes or Lion Eyes....LOL!
  9. I have not seen a Ritzy bag or picture by a collector in "real life". I don't think Chuck had one.
  10. Nice article. Thanks for sharing. Here's a blown up copy - a little easier to read for us old folks.
  11. I thought the German Striped Transparents had a little "gap" in the seam. That has been my take over the years. I think OP is CAC.
  12. Went up about the same percentage as gas prices!
