TNG

Gonna agree with Chad, The outside all looks right but the insides have been pillaged and refilled/redone.

Sorry for the multiple posts 😅 It seemed like alot for one post so I wanted to split them up. I'll finish up with the quick shots of my Jabo shelf (I also like to keep my vintage vitro bags on this one, but everything else is like the Jabo era.)

I was informed (by a pretty awesome person) that these tools were used in some of the Jabo production runs. The two with heavy use were a couple of the actual workers daily drivers and the lightly used, smaller tool was actually made for a child of someone connected to the Jabo team that would sometimes visit the workplaces with their parent. I wanted to keep them all safe but need to figure out some way to display them still.

I have this (Signed) Jar of Peewees; And then a little bag of Peewees with Jim King's signature on the little card insert.

I have a couple cool jabo type things; Starting with these signed collector sets, one set is signed by David McCullough (The Master himself) and the other is signed by Joanne Argabrite as one of the founders of Jabo, Inc. They are numbered, so I am sure some other ones are out there, I have 4 sets total. They may all be signed but I am not sure, all 4 I have are signed and dated by either David or Joanne. There could be other signers too so not sure on how rare these are really.

Also this is from Last Dance if you wanted to know - 99.9% sure. Here is the example from; https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/anythinggoes43567/naming-begun-for-the-last-dance-run-t1756.html

This one in particular has to be one of the grails. So much so that they singled it out on the WVMCC site in the gallery/archives. I have one of the blue/yellow frit and the red/white/blue from the wash but this one has to be special and hidden away somewhere I hope.

It's THE raven. Already a small run I think, and there is a special one. From https://www.westvirginiamarblecollectorsclub.com/jabo-inc-miscellenious According to the lore, Less than 10 cases from this tank wash run prior to the odyssey run were deemed viable, It is indicated that there was alot of fracturing and cold rolls in this wash. They had some really neat colors. Patriotic Frit, Dichroic type stuff. The examples from the regular ones can be seen here;

Talked my way into this haul and wanted to share.

Yea I would imagine these are a bit rarer in Europe, I've only seen one in person here in the US.

if you don't have one already, A vacuum chamber should help flush the air bubbles out from the damaged spots while the resin cures.

Let's see the spoils of the Anacortes bag @Steph pretty plzzz

These are neat.

What do y'all think? Where is this from? It's like a whole size smaller than my other peewees (Which are mostly Jabo Classic peewees) This was individually packaged alongside alot of other marbles, all on it's own. (The formatting for the video is weird and huge and I could not scale it down any, so not sure if it helps but i'm leaving it there.) Snapchat-1366084595.mp4

I don't think it looks like one of the Akro ones. Something about it seems off. I swear i've seen this one somewhere, was it listed on or did you get it from eBay?

Is it possible this isn't a Joker 2, or was it like stored + marked separate from your others? Retracted, I can see what your getting at kinda after taking a second look. Biblefreak's examples in the video's on his yt channel just aren't as like..."full" as this one? Maybe it's just stringier though, When I first saw it, I thought it might be something from "Ultra" or maybe even later, like from the 2014 "Joker's Wild".

I also do not ship outside the US, and my listing or auctions can only be viewed or bid on by US account holders, as like you said it's just too much of a risk with no shipping/delivery confirmation for most regions. C'est la vie. I have purchased auctions from sellers in Canada, but only if I felt that the items had been undervalued enough to account for the additional shipping.

Hi Wvrons! Ebay had actually kind of cut ties with Paypal, and now requires any listing to be "Managed by Ebay Payments" Which can include Paypal but only as a secondary option and only for things like paying for items and receiving payouts. You can no longer strictly use Paypal to get the lower fees when selling, as even if a customer uses paypal the payment is processed by Ebay before you see it as a seller.

This is likely due to mis-assigned policies regarding certain listings, though you may also want to confirm that they are Continental US addresses for your auctions closing at higher than average prices for shipping, as 12-15 is the average shipping cost to send something to like Canada, or the UK from the US. You can view your Policies on Ebay here; https://www.bizpolicy.ebay.com/businesspolicy/manage It should look like this; Look for any marked "Shipping" in the "Type" column, your dashboard may look significantly different depending on the amount of policies, as I have cleaned mine up several times. The shipping information should be listed in the description, as here in the example it is shown to be USPS first class, 2 business days - Standard services($2.85), and to the right it shows the number of listings being covered by this policy (Shown as 153 in the example.) You would be confirming that both your shipping policies are correctly set, by either creating a flat-rate policy and then assigned any applicable listing to it, or just removing the listing from any alternate shipping policies that are "Calculated" to avoid the crazy all over the place calculations. I prefer calculated personally, but this is the path if I am understanding the initial question correctly.

Never seen a WVMCC Davis set. That's really neat @Ric

I'm just gonna have to move to West Virginia or something. Country road's, take me home, to the place, with all the mibs.

I'm gonna second the not a jabo sentiment so far. Whats the actual dimensions?

So a "Snowglobe" in this context is just a Pelt rainbow thats white striping on a clear base?

Cheers to all the marble archaeologists out there like yourself trying to put all the pieces together. 👏👏👏

It wouldn't have surprised me if I saw this assortment at 130$+, definitely seems worth it to me, especially if this case was also included.
