jormibnut Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi: Yes, I was there on Thursday and Friday. There were 23 or more rooms and mostly steady room trading. Lots of good to great marbles resulting in some serious buying ,including the day of the show. Good marbles, good friends and good food.

Chuck G Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I would really like to thank you all for coming to the show and i try extensivly to make each one better and better. Sometimes it always dont go that way and i do make a few mistakes but try to correct them immediatly. My desires for the future is to try to keep the shows here going forward and teaching as much about marbles as i have learned over all these years. I have found that even the shows here i learn more and more each one i attend wheather it be here or some other show. Ron S really enlightened me on how some of the marble machines ran and the shears and cut lines. This is the kind of information that really puts things togather on part of the many aspects of collecting. We all must remember that the more information that gets out there and is taught to others the more of a desire for them to start or add marbles to their collections. Hunting those great pieces of art work in glass is sometimes difficult especially the rarer pieces but the EXCITMENT is the hunt for it. The regulars that attend the show here are just like family and what other fun is there outside of being with family and learing and looking for wonderful marbles, they go togather great. Oh yes i will miss Everett Grist very much and wanted those who knew him to remember him a long time into the future. Thanks everyone for attending!!!

FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I heard from 2 differant people at the show,that the manager from Jabo,wasnt there,this show.I asked them "who" it was,and they described the person as being over 6 feet tall,redish blond hair,and he was goofier than Goofy.Im not quite sure I met that manager,at Jabo.Maybe he has a desk at another marble factory,or something?----BAH HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAH,,,,,,CRAP!---I fell off of Rons chair!!!!!!!!!!!!

moremarbles4me Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Cool marble Ryan, never heard of one before. Have you seen other ones like this and is the base translucent or opaque? Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 That is a very cool Pelt, Ryan. And nice pics, Terry. I especially like the last one. You think Ron had any fun? I sure did. Great folks and great marbles, for sure. Here's one I got on trade . . . from a remote location. And I probably wouldn't have had to work as hard to make the thing myself as I did to get it . . . I darn near had to grovel. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 As usual Chuck did a great job and the show was fun. Learned more about machine mades than I really care to But did have a great visit with good friends and managed to bring a couple great hand made marbles home to the collection. Thanks Checuk. See back in Decatur in the fall or next spring. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
