Just a quick plug - the last Ravenswood Genuine Old Fashion bag listed on eBay ends this evening (Sat). It has a green/brown Ravenswood swirl in it. Also several multitwist corks and some Marble King packaging up for bids. Marble bags and more on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_ipg=50& ... mus&_sop=1

Some of mine when I used to collect flamey marbles.

Had to throw this one in - 63/64 inch - thoughts seem to be that it is Jabo - had not seen one similar before.

I think the patch-ribbon-patch is same as patch-ribbon-ribbon-patch - just too lazy to type the additional ribbon. Obviously there are a lot of variations - patches on one side of the top (or bottom), offsetting ribbons, matching ribbons, etc. Very few rare ones have been seen in packaging. Someone had a MK Rainbows bag with a true Watermelon and a blended Watermelon in it at the WVMCC Show back in 2005 that I saw. Chuck B. had been trying to by it from the guy for years. In all the packaging that I have, no rare ones.

Does not look Vacor to me, either.

That is sad to hear. I met him at a couple shows and enjoyed talking to him about the special runs. Prayers to his family.

One of those fried ones from the 50's when you made them for jewelry...

None that I could find.

Nice group shot - thanks for sharing the pictures.

On the main page of MarbleConnection.com - right side - is a donation area. Works through Paypal - I just checked it out.

Same here - shipping must be the slow boat from China...(LOL!).

Same to you and all others in our marble collecting community.

Cool - shaken not stirred...

If he/she is a savvy seller (which he should be with that kind of numbers), he could see how many "watchers" there are and determine possible bidding. He/she should know there are the last minute bid programs. But.... maybe just message him and nicely ask why? Maybe make him an offer on the one you liked.

Nice ones.

Glancing at Stan Block's Sulphide book, for common ones, in mint condition, he has more for under 1 inch and over 2 inch - in between less.

Likewise to all!

I have one Running Rabbit VHS tape, several Bob Block Auction VHS tapes from 1994 time frame and, somewhere, a few of the Running Rabbit books like shown above. If anyone is interested in the VHS tapes, let me know.

Thanks

I like the elephant bird on this last one! I have other "copper" ones but have not seen any on an Alley Spruce or other similar aventurine marble.

Almost has an Akro feel to it?

And, of course, there are these...

OK, makes sense. Since it is to be a promotional giveaway, please let us know how that will happen. Maybe I, or a friend, can go to the store to be involved in the giveaway. Not trying to create problems for you, just would like to have a piece of modern marble packaging history.

It's been a couple months now since I got back on eBay to sell (after a 10 year break). I'm almost through with all of the Mega/Vacor bags that were great sellers and am back into US and other bags and a few boxes. Some pics here. I list 3 or so per day so keep an eye out. I'll also be listing some marbles soon - some shooter size that I don't collect and some of my duplicate Akro multitwist corks (and a few "regular" ones). eBay iD is arasmus - here's a link http://www.ebay.com/sch/arasmus/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1

Great idea, Joe, and congrats on making it happen. Please do keep a couple of bags available for us bag collectors that don't live in your area.
