chucks_mibs

Thank you… it’s been an extremely long time….still hangin in there, haven't been to any shows recently but I still continue to pick up mibs whenever I can

Im used to seeing examples of this type like the one on the left… The one on the right has Red based glass (or do all of them have it?).

I got my indoctrination into marble selling and buying when I first met Clyde at my first marble show in Granada Hills California (2001-2002?).... It was there where he purchased a golden rebel variant of which I sold to him ($80) without knowing really how much the marble was worth (I was a noobie).........As time went on and at every marble show that I would see him, I would ask to see "my baby" where he would proudly pull out his brag box and show it to me........Clyde was an avid Pelt collector and also had the most extensive Champion furnace marble assortment I've ever seen in one collection with at least 17 different samples.......a very knowledgeable and admirable collector and friend.....he will be missed greatly....RIP my friend

I have moved these to the bay with starting prices of $9.99 and they will end on FRIDAY NIGHT 28MAR AROUND 5:00PM PST With a couple of hours left to bid, most of these are still at decent prices YOU CAN CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE AUCTIONS

Yes it is....and Ive had it for a long time....I will do a full research (lunt marble club) and bring my findings to the board

Mike, can you or anyone else please shed some info on the Lunt Ave marble club?....I have a vase with the same logo on it....Is the club or any of its past or present members still around...anyone know?

I was seventeen when this came out.....just heard it for the first time in years.....brings back some memories.....Also was a fantastic movie that was pretty realistic about the J-O-B struggle for me as a teenager in Los Angeles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VvSFl4GpHw

Winnie, they look like some of the marbles from the Veiligglas factory

Well if gravity HASNT taken effect on those Opal Ladies by the end of your trip......savem for me at Fullerton.....lol

Dont forget to consider that with so many different venues, you will find they demand many different prices for marbles..... -Live Auctions -Person to Person -Ebay -Flea Markets -Marble Shows -Antique Shops AND Malls All have lower and higher prices.....ultimately prices are between the buyer and seller....But not all venues will yeild HAPPY results for everyone

With reference to eBay....Parrots are going for much more than MK spidermen RIGHT NOW.....Parrots average between $15-$35 and spidermen are sadly about $10-$20.....of course size condition and eye appeal are the MAIN deciding factors while bidding wars contribute to some of the hype too.....Its like real estate, values are always changing...however the values fluctuate more frequently for marbles....Whats hot and considered valuable today can be cheap and less desirable next week....My two cents

pic?

The Alley "Opal Ladies" are of great interest......(column 1 marble 1 and column 4 marble 3)

oops...I just read the YEAR.....1900???....Geez, your package is over a hundred years late already!!!

That's a "total let down"......They get you all set up and ready to receive whatever you've anxiously been waiting for and then all of a sudden....more delay...The Christmas/NewYear holiday is most likely the reason Except for the price, I don't see any differences in services when using USPS..."First Class" mail will arrive just as quick as "Priority Mail" in most cases but yet Priority Mail is more expensive.... Good luck on your delivery, I hope you get you new webcam soon.....
