triker Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 ok guys and girls, here's the story from my post on LOM about this find! Hi all, Let me start by saying these are not mine,and at this time not for sale. Also there is several board members that do know the history of these mibs.(as far as we can go up till now).I apologise for the pics as i thought my batteries were charged and they were dead! I can not go in to details until i get an ok from all parties involved. So here goes as best as i can tell you. 8 or 9 years ago i was talking to a friend of mine and some how we got talking about marbles, he started telling me about he and his partner had bought several drums of mibs! well i heard it and believed him but at the time did not collect mibs. but still had it tucked in my memory. About 6 months ago i got a call from a good friend about a couple of drums of mibs in a neighboring state and immediately thought of my friend. So went up and looked at said barrels and talked to my other friend who had told me the original story, and sure nuff they were part of his inventory. and to make a long story short, these are the other (undiscovered) LOL LOL! inventory! Hi Ron these are from the cabin!!! and yes i will see you next month! Got an extra room? LOL Hope you all enjoyed strange but true story!!!!

Akro gatherer Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 yeah.....that cleared it up for me????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triker Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 These are all part of a buyout out at champion sometime in the 90"s these people bought about 15 drums of mibs , original boxes of champs and everything they could get off the floor. They even got the file cabinets with contracts, formulas and other paper work.Some of the boxes Contain other than Champion Mibs but our still in Champ boxes.Hope this clears it up for you!

feelnmarbleous Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hey Bruce, CAN YOU SAY SCOREEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeez what a find, was there any Champ premiums in any of those ? Congrats to you Bruce, that is pretty amazing really... And if you don't mind me asking, what was the other company mibs in those boxes ? i think that will be pretty informative in itself.

david Chamberlain Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I know there's a mix of marble sizes in there but are a lot of them Industrials. And I know it's pretty clearly stated that these are Champion but those white w/blue ones sure have a Mid-Atlantic feel to them. All in all it definitely looks like a barrelfull of fun!

triker Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Looks like a bunch of mks and heaton cat eyes some vitro and others but no industrials David.I will try to id some more soon. Also did Jabo Buy any machines from champion? I could call Dave, but thoght i would ask here first. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
