Great job Chuck G.
I applaud your efforts.
If you are like me----it is on to the next--mission accomplished. Revel in the finality and it will soon loose its luster.
I have a one track mind when collecting and when it is completed—I start a new one.
There is always a new one, always, never ending.
Congratulations, I know what it feels like. I dream about it when it is getting closer to completion.
Marble On and collect on as well.
I love this stuff,

Thanks for sharing!!
We are not alone in our thinking!!

Time Out !!!  Blackhawk Agates by Dave Becker? Tell me the history about these marbles. I have never heard of them before. 

Dave Becker, a stone mason by trade and a really talented polymer marble artist. As far as I know he's been crafting them for about 15 years, and he makes some real killers - some of his flames are unbelievable.

Dave lives north of Denver. He does not sell in any place town, just from his home.  I talked with him by phone about three weeks ago. When Dave very first started making marbles, he ask me if I thought anyone would buy them. I said of course and he ask if I would try to sell some for him. It was not long that he got very good at it and his sales exploded. He then made the special boxes and bags for sets as people wanted.  He stayed busy filling orders, many special request for certain marbles. Then he went through a divorce and was away from marbles vintage and his hand made ones. He has been making them again now for a year or more. He will be at the Des Moines Iowa show. If interested message me and I can give his contact info or he can contact you.  I will try to take some pictures of a few of his earlier marbles and post here. He can copy about any companies marbles but with much more bling, sparkle, aventurine, lutz, big numbers of flames, agate pattern, corks, whatever, and different sizes.
