Steph Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 What promotional opportunity were the stores missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peltier Mibber Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Perhaps custom packaging in the way of self promotion ? And sponsorship of tournaments would be good promotion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I see now ... the editor was suggesting the stores hold marble games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 On one of my old sets of backup disks, I have tons of articles from Beckley, West Virginia, spanning many years. They had a sports reporter on the marble beat. I imagined writing a book about tournaments using Beckley's history as the backdrop. Most of us have probably thought one time or another that we had a book in us. I now realize I probably don't. But I sure liked the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for one since I saw a coworker with that same box, but I didn't know the proper way to say "hey, when you're done with that kleenex box I want it'. lol did lots of google searches as well. If I recall it was a bunch of nice Akro Popeye marbles on it, so somebody must know a bit more history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 wow ... beautiful ... kudos to whoever knew their marbles well enough to pick those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Awesome! My memory was off a bit but surely some nice Akro marbles there (which probably didn't just get swept off the floor for a photo-op). You guys are great, glad I wasn't completely imagining things.

wvrons Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 You are not going to see one of those Orange - Crush box sets in many collections. Also nice rubber stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yeah, that Orange Crush set is new to me. I've got a few of the Crush pop bottles from that era but hadn't seen/heard of a marble set with the logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
