zigafoose Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Welcome to the forum. What type of marbles do you collect? Where are you from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Welcome to the forum. What type of marbles do you collect? Where are you from? I am in Northeastern Illinois, almost on the Wisconsin/Illinois state line less then 1 mile away from Lake Michigan... I would have to say Akro's are my soft spot. I have to do a little testing on posting photo's then I will post some pic's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi Gene, You might want to consider the Oct. 9-11, 2009 Badger Marble Club Show in Madison, WI. Nothing like a hands-on marble experience to get you off and running. I'm sure you can find specifics about attending at some of the marble boards: contacts, hotel, and such.

I just might do that... Madison is only about 2 hours away... I have never been to one of these marble shows, and no idea what to expect... I would feel like the new kid in the class room...

BobandPat Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 You might even want to come to a meeting, there's one the end of this month.... and all are welcome to attend. There's usually 10 to 20 members show up plus a walk-in or two. It's just a couple minutes north of Madison. Here's the link for the web site.. http://www.badgermarbleclub.com/links.html It's like a mini marble show, so bring some to show, trade, or sell. We have loads of fun!

Kingfisher Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hello Bob & Bill, I have just spent the last 90 minutes on the Badger Marble Club's web site... Pretty much covered everything there... Seems very interresting... I don't think I can make the next meeting, but I will make it up to Madison in October... It will probably only be for 1 day though... I will be retiring at the end of this November, then I will have all the time in the world... Until then I have to be available 24/7 with a 1 hour call out notice... Thank you guys for the info... "Gene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMarbleBuddy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Gene, Thanks for taking over the "newbie" role, I pass the baton to you, though I still feel like a "newbie" in marble land. I joined only about a month ago and already won a marble! Lucky you to be retiring soon... so many marble things to do!
