Both Ravenswood IMHO.

Not sure on the first. Potential Jabo but could definitely see it being older. The second is giving me many many Jabo vibes...

A bundle of joy , there are some VHTF marbles here along W some verry common ones. None make the Pee-Wee cut, some are close but !!

A few in the corner shelf. 11 same cane on the board.

Coreless Swirl?

Yes Chad I had originally written banded transparent and I think I use that term more than the coreless clear transparent. So many differing terms these days but I think we were both on the same page! edit: lol. On his other handmade ID I used banded transparent. Need more coffee.

First looks like a wonky Akro Corkscrew 2nd is a bit tougher. Could be a Jabo or maybe a Heaton Rotten Robin? Would like to see more opinions on that one?

I agree with Chad- that is an annealing fracture, AKA a crack. No way is it a "cut off mark' or pontil. If you are still happy when you get it in hand, then congrats on the purchase and enjoy the marble. But you paid good money for something that in my opinion doesn't match the description of "no cracks" or "mint 9.9 condition". So if you are not 100% satisfied, I would return it. It may be rare and hard to find again right away, but for that price, you should be beyond thrilled with what you got. That's just my opinion. I usually don't like to weigh in on other people's purchases. I believe that if you went into a purchase knowing exactly what you were getting for the money you were spending and are happy with what you got- then that's all that matters. Buy what you like for what you can afford. It's your collection. But you did ask the group about this one and there is a question about the accuracy of the description, so I am commenting. I hope it helps and above all, I hope you love the marble you bought!

I blew that one🔥 RAR

Banded transparent IMO, maybe my I.D. terminology is out of date ??

Annealing Fracture IMO, even if you can or can't feel it, some are subsurface and can't be felt with your fingernail some aren't, 100% machine made whether you can see where it was sheared off or not, no indications of it being a single gather IMO. A HTF marble yes, still not a 9.9, 9.0 mint - because of the fracture IMO, rarity doesn't boost condition. Pontils always refer to handmades, where the cane was cut off with shears by hand. Machine mades were cut off with shears to, but by a machine, so no pontils, shear marks, if they can be found. BTW- No such thing as "non fluorescing Ade glass" since that's what ade entails, if it has an ade base it should react to uv light. A good marble will sell itself in my experience. If you like it buy it, whatever makes you happy, as long as you're satisfied but I find the description more than misleading IMO.

Maybe Vitro but not a horseshoe cat IMO

2 and 1/4 Pink Slag. Scott Meyers who signs his marbles Old made this one for me. He didn’t signed.Why I don’t know. All of the others ones in my collection are sign. Fun marble. No one made pink stags🔥 RAR

Vitro for me

I wonder if they took the time to put 5 with 2 different colored ribbons and I with 3🔥 RAR

Thanks fire and thats good to know what would be the average price for it and do these fall into the same category?
