  1. Those are beautiful marbles. I really like them. Edna
  2. Lots of vitros coming later this week, tri lites, tiger eyes, cosmic rainbows, catseyes, shooters and 5/8, even vitro oxbloods. I'm waiting to see more info and pics on Anacortes.
  3. Forgot to say that they don't look like any marbles I've ever seen. Certainly not akro or Master or vitro or Peltier. Edna
  4. Weldon never let ME open a bag. If I wanted to see the marbles with my fingers, I had to get out and hunt down some that were like them. I wouldn't dare do it to this day. Good for you Steph. I've always wanted to do that. LOL Edna
  5. I have a hard time seeing aventurine too. I can see it in bright sunlight, outside. If it's there it will show up. Edna
  6. Bob, that red and blue one you have is my favorite color PPP. And Rick - you have some nice ones. Edna
  7. I'llhavethat1, you've got some pretty ones there. Edna
  8. Nice marbles Al, I had not thought about the metallic patches.
  9. Stamped in the end of the box top The colored patch side of the PPP's The comic side I've seen sets of comics a lot better than mine. Show us you lurkers! Edna
  10. We started buying the comic marbles in the mid nineties. We never thought we could find all of them, but we did. When we only needed 3 more of the marbles we had an opportunity to buy the box. Now we are not wealthy. Both of us were in education and you know what kind of pay that is. You've probably seen the boxes on ebay go for thousands of dollars. This is not the real thing. Some of you know more about this than I do. Somehow, somebody got the plates used to make the comic boxes and had repros made. We got one of the repro boxes to put our marbles in. Shortly after, Peltier came after the people who had the plates. The plates were returned to the company and I understand they were destroyed so it couldl never happen again. Our box is clearly marked that it is a reproduction. I'll have wait until later to post the pics. My pic host doesn't seem to be working.
  11. I have one of those. I can't get the color to look true. yours is exactly the same color as mine. I'm not going to post mine as the base color of the marble washes out. Your pic is great.
  12. I know someone in the Houston area that lurks. He has great Peltiers. Maybe he will share. Someone else in Phoenix has nice Pelts too, and the best I've ever seen live in the San Diego area. Maybe he will help us and post some. I remember seeing a superman that is huge and one of the red ribbons is in the shape of an "S". It's a marble to die for. Come on you lurkers, show us your PPP's. I have some with the comic characters on them. The box is one of those made with the Peltier plates. It looks authentic, but was not done with permission of the company. When the owners found out, the plates had to be returned and the company destroyed them so it couldn't happen again. We had purchased one of the boxes that is clearly marked to show that it is not old. I'll do some pics later tonight. In the meantime, some of you have the real old ones, red or yellow. Show us. And also no one has posted a Pearlized Peerless Patch. Come on! Edna
  13. Hi Mike, nice to see you over here. Edna
  14. Should we post the ones that have comics on them - Peltier character marbles? I left out Charles' post. Those are some neat looking PPP's. Thanks for joining in.
  15. Nice patches Bo and Bob. You guys have some of my favorite colors. Edna
