ManofKent Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Unless you've been living under a rock without any access to the media you've probably noticed interest in a fairly new smartphone game... I noticed one of the local 'collectables' shops was trying to shift old stock off the Pokemon marbles presumably on the basis of renewed interest and wondered whether anyone here collected contemporary printed marbles?

Steph Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I remember someone with an impressive collection of modern logo marbles. I think maybe it was Duffy? Your shop was selling Pokemon marbles? ... I think we have one Pokemon marble ... but we can't remember whether I should be able to find it in my marble stuff, or whether it would be in hubby's Pokemon stuff.

Al Oregon Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Back in 2004 I picked up a couple packages (since I collect marble packaging) but did not pursue any more. Here's pics of front on two and back of one (shows others they had packaged). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Al -probably wise to stop at two. Looking at what was produced collecting the lot could be expensive. As an aside I've noticed a lot of character marbles (not just Pokemon) on ebay's French and German sites - character marbles seems very popular on the continent.

Al Oregon Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks for the info. I don't plan on collecting more of those. By the way, if you did not know this, Jabo used to produce licensed logo marbles in packages (samples below) but they could not sell the volume required under the licenses so stopped after a while. I think they are pretty collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I really like that Coke marble! Never seen one quite that 'abstract'. Those that I've had have always had a more straightforward simple design. And I'm not sure that Coca-Cola would be especially approving of those rather 'Pepsi-ish' colors!

Steph Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 The Coke intrigues me. Is that an older marble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
