"JABOs are current. They are what is happening today." "JABO is the Microsoft of the future if you choose to look at marbles as an investment" Wow, that sounds awesome! Do you think I could make money with Jabos? How much of a gain do you think I could realize on a marble? This is all very exciting. My Grandmother was just talking about something that might get her a better return on her money. Can you give me some figures? -Dave

Yeah, I definitely prefer his earlier work. He made some Bomb Champions! Somebody should write a book about Champions. -Dave

Very cool, guys! -Dave

I have such a hard time with most patches. The MK's with the wider equitorial band always get me, some will call them Vitro, some will call them MK, and in my opinion, unless you know the source, who knows. I think some of these types can be very similar. Look how many "Pepsi" marbles are in that MK bag in your photo. What's the story behind these? Didn't Berry Pink conduct test marketing that showed that kids favored red in their marbles or something like that? I think he would give them a handful and have them choose the ones they wanted and then note which they took, with the red ones being most popular. I think Ron related the story recently how the All Reds were named such because when rolled, they look entirely red. I find it so interesting that these companies were in such stiff competition with each other. I figure that's why a lot of their marbles look alike. Just my two cents. -Dave

Hey Lou. Pardon my computer illiteracy, but whenever I click on the page in my favorites, the page won't fully load. I think its the Pay-pal link. Like it locks up. If I close my Explorer it tells me to end now, then when I open it again, click on the site again, it loads completely the second time, except for the Icon on the left at the bottom of the page. Anyone else having trouble. Is it that something I have is outdated? I'm so not computer savvey. Its no biggie, it loads the second time usually, I just thought someone could maybe tell me what I need to do to correct it. Also, I tried to submit a donation via the icon but it wouldn't let me. Maybe its my security settings or something. Can I just send it to that e-mail address(the one that's listed for you on the icon donation page) by not going through the icon on the page? Thanks Lou. -Dave

THAT BOX IS INSANE!!! -Dave

That amber-based one with the light blue/white ribbon is really cool. -Dave

Great marbles and photos, Alan. -Dave
