Photos of Wanted Mah Jongg Set
We’d like to purchase an entire set, if possible. The one that we purchased on eBay is missing two tiles. We are in the process of returning the incomplete set to the seller because we cannot find any replacement tiles for the two missing tiles. But we really like this smaller-sized set. Maybe someone out there in Mahj Land can help us to find one.

Mah-Jongg Q+A
My mah-jongg question or comment is: Hi I am looking for a 160 set of Mahjong with cat, mouse, rooster and worm, how can I obtain this, as I am finding it very hard. I also need numbered tiles.
Pauline Evans

Hi, Pauline.
All I've got for you are these:
● See the Sets For Sale bulletin board where sellers of sets post.
● You can post your own request on the Tiles Wanted bulletin board. (You don't need to - this is already posted there.)
● See FAQ 7k for where to buy sets.
● And there's a short list of top vendors in FAQ 4a. Just contact them by phone or email and see if they have what you need.
Good luck! May the tiles be with you... literally!

?Comments: ?I am just learning the game of Mah Jongg and want a set of my own. I played a little as a teenager with my mom in the latae 60s but don't know what happened to her set. I would prefer an older complete set rather than a new set from a Big Box Store. It doesn't have to be in the best shape but I would like the tiles to match. A real plus would be if it had 8 Jokers instead of stickers. I don't know how realistic this wish is.

I am looking to purchase an older set...like from the 1970's.....they made it in both green and in pink. The tiles have rounded edges are feel silky.....ish... I would say they feel like soapstone...but know they are not made of that material.
I can't find a picture of them but 2 friends have them. I cant take a pic...I dont want them to think me a copy cat.... LOL
Love their tiles. I have 8 sets already,.....and seem to have become a collector.
Please email me at Betsyneedsalifeyahoo.com if u have seen such sets or know a friend with one...maybe I can negotiate it away from them, for a newer set.....
