sissydear Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi Gary! This is the outer lid to your box. This is the inner side of the lid. JABO Tributes is hidden in the shadow of the side of the box. It's right above Sept. 19, 2008. I should get it in the mail tomorrow. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Some of my group of investors are not happy with me for my remark that the Joker's are still the prettiest marbles of the private runs. It's just my opinion, but they have eye appeal. Now if we are talking about numbers of colors, the Tributes have all of them beaten. Some of our marbles have 6 or seven colors and all of them have 4. I hope that makes up for my previous remark. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 The Jokers stand out in pix, that's for sure. But the Tributes get better and better in hand as you focus in on them. The colors are phenomenal. Some wonderful striping action. I have one where a peach-tinged yellow blends to orange, then the stripes start: clear, gold, purpley brown, maroon, darker purple, gold, greenish gold, olive, teal, a weird ox blend, more teal, almost black ox, teal, clear, and back to the blushing yellow. dude! did I mention stray bits of glitter? (Edna, that's one of the ones I still haven't been able to match to one of the style names.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Can't be sure, but it sounds like "Arizona". I think you'll know when your box arrives. Does the teal part have aventurine in it? Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yes, that's the part which sparkles a little. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Who would have thought all of this went into the mibs we know and love today? I always thought about the physical labor and simply didn't really think about the love and friendships that might have existed between the workers on an everyday basis. Now my mibs have even more meaning to me. Thank you Edna!! What a great picture of Weldon you got there as well!! Wish I could have been there!!!!
