    Wash Out Marbles

    what size would these be? and are these from the wash-out for the encore run?
  4. Good eye, Sue. I believe it's one of his. YES Dennis Richardson made vortexes and that looks like one of them.
  5. yeah what was up with that listing. It was taken down.
  6. I really don't think it is fair to compare ANYTHING thats being made to day to anything that was made yesteryear. The one BIG difference? Everybody and their mother collects today and nobody throws ANYTHING away. ALL the (car loads of) vintage marbles we keep hearing about? they are pretty much gone. Mom threw them all out. Along with all my vintage yankee baseball cards. Nobody thought to save these things then and thats why the BIG dollars (they ARE rare). Todays not the same. Everything is being kept somewhere safe for the future. Not saying todays marble won't have any value. Just saying they won't be worth nearly as much as it's older brothers. (imho) in the future the supply will dominate the demand.
  7. Damn, Mike! :Emoticon-jawdrop: ALL Killers. The 5th one down in your second post is IT.
  8. I for one never get tired looking at Mike's (glass) balls.
  9. Hi Burt, Your welcome. They are SWEET!!! Jabo keeps on rolling. May it never end.
  10. JABO MAGIC.....that IS. The JABO and JOKER doing it, DOING IT. The 2009 JOKER II ENCORE RUN (4/23/09) completed. (CREAM of CROP RUN) I have been told that marbles in this run are some of the BEST that were ever made. WOW!!! LOOK for SPECIAL 50ct. BOXED COLLECTORS SETS (50 ea. cherry hand picked jabos to be included in each box). Can't wait to see these.....Who has pictures?
  11. Kudos to Steve. :Happy_143: For his idea (history was made) and for his book (it's now all documented). WTG!!! Cover looks great. Bocci
  12. Hey MarboMan, have I got a board for you.
  13. I had problems when I had the AOL IE Browser but not with any of the Yuku boards. I added the mozilla (Fire Fox) browser and I believe it's tons the best. I still use IE but NOT thru AOL.
  14. <<I've been trying to get into the Glass Addiction board since mid-day... It won't open. So, I just tried Marble Mental and Marble King of America..... No Luck....>> Sue, Try Jabo Land...:-)
  15. Call Jabo at (740) 374-2605 or e-mail Dave McCullough at [email protected] Ann, I think it would matter how many investors are involved. Please don't quote me on this but I think I remember someone saying of an earlier run the cost was $9,000.00
  16. Dave, do you have a pic of the original Marlee (red/white/blue w/ mica)? Hi "Windy".
  17. Dave wrote me that the washout to set the tank for the most recent 2009 Joker 2nd Run Oxblood/Aventurine Series was named after his second granddaughter, "Mylee" by Rick Hall & Ed Parsons two of the main investors of the Joker run. These marbles are 1/2" and 5/8" in diameter. I must say they sure are sweet...Jabo "Mylee" Run.
  18. To wash out the tank to set up for the Joker run these marbles were named after Dave's second granddaughter ("Mylee"). These are 1/2" and 5/8"'s in size and I'm told less then 200 lbs were made. Will post pics as soon as I can.
