Question about trail dies

[Maineman750]

Does anybody on the forum still collect trail dies ?

[kloccwork419]

I have a few of the top ones. Thats it.

[hasfam]

I used to have a few good ones but not anymore and haven't seen one since coming back to the hobby. I'm sure if I run across one, I'll keep it for reference.

[kloccwork419]

I found a few on some 2021s but I didnt keep them.

[Maineman750]

I did see a few sold on eBay.....just haven't heard much about them for a while

[Roller]

When they were hot, I kept the ones I found and still have a slew of them in a tin. Have not looked for or kept any in some time now.

I still have a bunch umattributed. Probably ought to post a few.

It seems that after my expose, interest in them faded dramatically. I still think the major ones are collectible, though.
I haven't gotten a new attribution in eons. And when I did, they were all Canadian.

It's all about marketing. People hate truth.

[kloccwork419]

Maybe its you Will. Lol

Yes, the major ones. I still have the major ones I submitted. They just look cool

I wonder why ? It really shouldn't matter how it happened and they should be glad to know, after all......these varieties are all human error of one kind or another

People, as a rule, are numbnutz! I have a pile of them, in different denomination, I think they are cool, even after Will messed it all up.

Well, that's exactly right. And I even said something to that effect in my article. There's really no difference between a doubled die and a trail die with respect to how they were made. Both were man-made errors (negligence) when creating the die. I feel they should still be considered as die varieties.

BJ also worked hard to promote them in the hobby. Nobody else has taken up that mantle.
