I was a kid in 1977, and a kid who lived on the Atlantic shoreline. And yet somehow, I missed the exciting, battery-operated game, “Crab Trap.” The tagline for the toy is “Who can catch the most crabs?” Shouldn’t toy-makers have known better? It was 1977, after all. Even worse – maybe they did.
You can bid on a preserved copy of the game on eBay.

When “ibaythee” was just a little girl, her father found a marble by the railroad tracks and imbued it with mystical paternal power by promising his daughter that it would bring her luck and help guide her through life. Apparently, the little sphere proved its worth soon after by granting the young girl the pet box turtle she wanted. She is now “up in years,” and convinced that the marble has helped her have a fabulous life with lots of great dates and also spared her from breast cancer seven years ago. She says that there are more examples of the marble bringing her luck, which you can email her to ask for. No mention as to why she’s willing to part with it on eBay instead of bequeathing it to a family member, but she says that it will help you with “your positive life’s journey.”
