> are the coolest of all rocks!
> Many of you know that from 1987 until 2002 I displayed and sold meteorites,
> fossils and artifacts at roughly 48 gem and mineral shows each year around
> the western United States.
> During those wonderful years of travel both here and abroad, I had the joy
> and pleasure (and still do) of meeting collectors and seeing their amazing
> collections. What I have seen and I am sure that many of you can relate to
> this, is that most of us who collect rocks from Space, also collect other
> things. I have seen a collection of antique surfboards, a huge collection of
> ancient suits of armor, cannons, guns, diamonds, polished stone spheres,
> stamps, coins (I think coins are how Michael Casper made his fortune! Good
> for him!). I've seen amazing collections of fossils, minerals and gem stones
> in private homes and on and on.
> Long story made shorter, I stopped collecting these beloved meteorites when
> I formally started selling them back in 87'. I have learned that this might
> have been a huge mistake but it's the choice I felt I needed to make in
> order to pay the bills and to remain competitive in an ever shrinking world
> market. But, the collecting bug never went away, it just changed shape and
> theme.

> Here is the pitch; about 1990 I started collecting antique handmade glass
> marbles. These gorgeous, colorful treasures were made by glass workers in
> the Lauscha region of East Germany from approximately 1880 until 1920. They
> are rare and hard to find. I have amassed a large collection and yet am
> always searching for more. I would be delighted to trade meteorites,
> tektites or books, even art, rare wine or cashy money for any number of
> these marbles.
> If you are a marble collector then I would enjoy talking with you about
> your collection and collecting direction. Recently Patrick got infected by
> this same obsession and he is an avid collector of the more recent machine
> made marbles from as early as the 1920's and 30's and later. If you just
> want to talk marbles please drop me a line. If you know someone with marbles
> to sell or if you have some yourself, please give me a chance to make an
> offer.

> On a less selfish thread, I think it would be a lot of fun to read about
> the things that others collect. I recall the first time I met Mike Bandli in
> Tucson years ago he was dealing in Space surplus and he had a huge
> collection of super cool artifacts. I learned at this last Tucson show that
> John Kashuba and I have nearly matching collections of rare, old wines. Hey,
> there is a meteorite collector in New York who collects live scorpions! And
> who hasn't seen Bruce Wegman's digital watch collection?

> Come on folks, share the fun!
