Sorry Edna I never told anyone not to respond to my post. I was trying to get other opinions on the marbles and why they think differently than I, But it seems you and Crazy have to take the shots at me. No big deal, I expected it. And I expected you to be the first.
,When I see new marbles resembling old I may say something. I should be able to with out folks taking personal shots and telling me what I should or should not post, Come on, lets get past that.. Really no different than the person making a similar post for all the new runs. And heck, it is 2 days short of a year since I said anything negative about the new runs. Marble collecting is fun. Not as fun as it used to be but so far still fun. Going to shows all over the country having get togethers with other collector friends, heck even getting invited and going to a new run is fun. Lot more new mimics in those jars at antique shows but that must Okay to most.(i do not like it) Lot more jabber about Jabos on the boards and thats Okay to most Trouble being after you reach the $50,000+ in marbles purchased the hobby does get a liot more serious. And when you see new marbles being produced that resemble old marbles It isn't much different that the fake Chinese coins that have hit the coin collecting world (at least they can get the coins graded and hope they get a good grade and a nice value). Sometimes I think I should have stuck with cateyes. I might be having more fun.(LOL)
It is amazing how well stinky old bait works after a whole year
