Yep, doing well

Not just marbles but glass in general. I bought a rare piece of Blenko (charcoal fish)that I had been looking for over 10 years. I was ecstatic when I bought an example on eBay. The seller wrapped in brown Kraft paper and shipped it in an oversized boxed, showed up in 100+ pieces. We were at a local show and I related this to a Blenko seller. I walked around the corner and I literally bowled my wife over reaching for the same fish, for $25. I’ve had 2 other pieces show up broken since then. it is heartbreaking to open the package and find damaged goods. I now verify that glass will be double boxed, willing to pay the price.

You guys are welcome to our beach anytime! Lots of oysters, sand dollars, and clam shells, an oyster bake can be arranged.

Would Morphy auction a cyclone in a group of mibs? That seems odd to me.

Right now, I don’t like any of my kids, so I’m open to offers of getting listed in my will. 🤣🤣🤣

Chad, How much would it cost to be named in your will🙃

Haha, depends on your drinking habits🥂

Thanks Ric, WSVs in general are tough to ID, many makers over many years.

I’ve been there, done that….

One heck of an education… if the seller pops in to show his win, be gentle🙃

Are these champions? thick square wire staples, could not get a focused shot of the mibs thru the bag.

this puts mankind in perspective🧐

Regardless, a very good looking mib.

Just looked at sales on feebay, yikes🎉💥

I thought possibly JABO, but didn’t look right….

Thanks guys, it will be my token mib for that maker.

Thinking Vitro Phantom Conqurer?

Curious to know who made it, biggest on I’ve seen. Non-UV.

Please show the mibs it came with…

Not up on Vacor designs… very vibrant green, 5/8”.

They were almost looking like helmets.

A pair of oddballs…at least to me🤔

Thinking a catch-22: hardcore collectors already have their collections well documented. Those of us who are “hobbyists”, don’t spend the time to document, and our collections are usually not high-end expensive marbles. my collection(or what’s left of it) will go to a 3rd party auctioneer when the time comes, the kids have no interest in collecting anything. it is a neat concept, similar to the numismatic databases, which make sense to me due to the high values of rare coins. good luck!!

Nope, not in this lifetime…

Is there a thread on marble bags?
