Thank you for stopping to take a look.
May Christ richly bless you.
Thank you for visiting. For many years, I supported David McCullough (RIP). Through buying and selling JABO, SMM, and D.A.S. Marbles I have met dozens of folks and found joy and that nostalgic little boy that lives in me. Marble sales supported me through Seminary, hard times, and good times.

Orbit
JABO 2010 Joker Orbit Run
This run was part of the broader Joker series, known for its bold experimentation with color layering, oxblood integration, and crystal-based cullet. The Orbit Run in particular was a continuation of the Joker lineage, emphasizing dynamic swirl movement and high-contrast color combinations. It was produced with input from the JABO team and collectors who had been involved in earlier Joker and experimental runs.
Key Features
- Date of Production: August 17, 2010
- 3/4" shooters
- Color Profile: Rich oxblood, vibrant blues, yellows, and whites with flame-like swirl patterns
- Glass Chemistry: Opaque and Crystal-based cullet with some UV-reactive
Collector Significance
The Orbit Run is highly regarded for its aesthetic complexity and its place within the Joker series. Marbles from this run were often boxed in curated sets, such as those selected by collector Marlow Peterson, and are now considered valuable additions to serious collections. The run reflects the culmination of techniques refined during earlier Joker and experimental batches, including padded bin catching to reduce touch marks and preserve surface integrity.
Legacy
The Joker Orbit Run stands as a testament to JABO’s late-era creativity and the collaborative spirit between artisans and collectors. It bridges the technical mastery of Dave McCullough with the evolving aesthetic preferences of the marble community, making it a cornerstone of post-2008 JABO history.
