tallpaul44 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Is there a monthly or semi-monthly Marbles Magazine? If this has an answer already, then excuse me and please direct me to where it is in this forum. Moderators can please delete when needed. Thanks.

Steph Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi TallPaul. This is a fine area for such a question. Some of the marble collector clubs have newsletters. Also, there are magazines about glass which sometimes feature marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallpaul44 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thank you very much Steph and Duffy, for the info. I have not found a Marble club in my area yet but I am in the local Gem & Mineral club. Love this forum and this site. Too much to look through all at once, so I have to spread it out over time or I'll get computer-googly-eyes. (and a nasty headache) LOL Thanks again for your help.

Al Oregon Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 What area do you live in? There may be a marble group or maybe even a marble show nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpaul44 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 What area do you live in? There may be a marble group or maybe even a marble show nearby. Hi Al, I live in Fresno CA. I am thinking about going to the Las Vegas show. There is also the Orange County show next March. I have to check my budget to see if I can make those.

nancy cooper Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 A magazine would be an awesome idea though........hmmmmm.........Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpaul44 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 OK Nancy, are you the one who can get a Marbles Madness Magazine off and running? (I just gave you the free title of it there) I see a magazine for almost everything imaginable, I wonder why no Marbles collector mag yet. Just for fun: Can anyone think of a neat title for a Marbles mag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be...cool name....thinking about others....With all the amazing photos, little known history, and personal stories ....I think it could be awesome. Almost everyone has owned or played with marbles but how many of us have paid any attention to them? I know I didn't, but have caught the bug.....

tallpaul44 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yes, one would think that there could be tons of info from collectors and manufacture's/makers; upcoming color schemes or the like, ID info, a free sizing template-insert (made of plastic), subscriber photos, clubs/shows info and reports, classifieds and sales boards etc. You could end it (last page) with a "Editors MIB O The Month".

Al Oregon Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 There's a informal marble get together in northern California pretty soon. Sami Arim is coordinating it. Galen probably has info also. I'll message you Sami's email through the board and you can contact him. The Vegas Show isa good one to go to also.

tallpaul44 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thank you Al for the info. I hope if they get it going it will get posted here. I am not going to make the Vegas show (gotta watch the budget while on seasonal lay-off) but I am going amethyst hunting with the gem & mineral club that Saturday.
