Hi Ronnie, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I have 2 tan Pente sets. My graphics on both sets are in brown, not green. Both sets are in tubes, but one set has only 1 set of stones--these are in a dark brown bag. The complete set of stones are in blue bags. The bags are made of a smooth material, as compared to the faux suede or velour material. I have a black set and 2 red sets--one is my original set which I purchased in '78 or '79. The other red set is signed by Mr. Gabrel (on the mat). I purchased this one from a lady in Tulsa who had attended a special Pente event at John A Brown. I am a collector, but not on a large commercial scale.My main collecting interest is in Tulsa memorabilia such as old post cards, souvenir Tulsa glassware(red flash), and vintage Tulsa related photos. I'm hoping to find one of Mr. Gabrel's wood or glass sets, but I'm prepared to be searching for a long time---they don't turn up too often.Take care, Ronnie and have a great weekend.Jo Ann

Thanks for the reply. I just bought a glass pente board in mint condition. With you in mind I did a few postings looking for a wooden pente board on craigslist dot com but it seems no one had one. They must be pretty rare.
