What does that mean? What do both of those terms mean actually if you don't mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production, meaning regular production - it's a JABO Classic made sometime between 1991-2007/8 in a run financed by JABO. The Contract (or Investor) Runs went from 2007/8-2012 and were financed by different groups of investors who made marbles at the JABO factory - these are the named runs, Joker, Foxfire, Mamie, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So contract runs are sort of like limited edition runs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by "limited edition" you mean that no more marbles of that particular type will be made again, I would say yes. The Investor Runs usually produced marbles that are different enough to be recognizable by people who keep up with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
