Joe2 Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Last yr.was my first marble sales on ebay and b4 that fb, mostly Vacor, with selling as is my Vintage style glass marbles. Use 2get alot of heat from that pitch. Would be buyers would tell me these aren't vintage and I would reply did I say vintage or did I say vintage style there is a difference between vintage and vintage style anyhow I sold a lot of marbles to a lot of people with no complaints. This was long before I was with any Marble groups I think I was only with one or two there weren't very many back then I believe maybe there was only two or three groups then, between 2007 to 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was gifted to me by M,Johnson at the OC Marble show this year. I ask him to bring me a shirt back if there were any, if I could not make it there, an old shirt he had and I wore it proudly 2Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe2 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 If I can remember the story but there was a marble contest at the store the day thr shirts came out. The store was called The Toy Zoo in 2011 all the participants were given shirts or paid for them I can't remember but I believe they were gifts, the store sold lots of Mega Marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0stMyMarbles Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi! I am Rebecca. I am new to the marble world and still learning everyday with the help of you great folks. In time I am sure I will have a preference, eventually, for now I am just having fun seeing and learning about all the varieties that exist and identifying the ones I have inherited. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyDadLovedMarbles Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 I prefer handmade. I am also extremely biased by the fact my dad made marbles by hand. I grew up watching him make marbles. I even helped make a few of them. Fun fact! Larry Castle loved handmade clay and porcelain marbles. His favorite marbles in his collection were clay and porcelain marbles dating back to the B.C.s! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyDadLovedMarbles Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 If the information is freely available online then it is not cheating. Then you are doing research which is smart. Smarter not harder! Thank you for the warm welcome~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
