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?

What is this about? the link says it is closed???

Ospreys are very awesome birds, much better than bald eagles. we have to watch our pups in the yard, all are less than 10lbs. Killing an eagle can get a $50K fine, unless you can prove they were attacking your pets.

Have you ever listened to Stan Freeburg presenting the USA? It is hilarious, Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the national bird, and serve Eagle for thanksgiving. Eagles are scavengers, plain and simple.

Took 3 dives to catch a fish, seconds later an eagle swooped in, causing the osprey to drop his catch. Eagle circled around and picked it up. the eagle sits in a nearby cottonwood, just watching and waiting… IMG_9904.mov

First harvest👍 I make a “poor-man’s hollandaise sauce” using butter, Mayo, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper.

That was my thought, the pitting is too uniform for wear or corrosion. in the 60’s we didn’t have hollow steelies, just ball bearings.

I sit corrected, bad reference material…

Nope, a razor sharpener….

Finding 11 of the same run is a first for me.

I have a lot of straight razors, but have never tried to use a marble-sharpener on it. May need to try it out.

Have you ever tried to sharpen a razor blade with it? I’m 66, and never used a double edged razor…

Yes, you have a lot of marbles…🤣

Nice red slag, what size? It helps to list the size in your posts…

Our 120lb mastiff watching the beach for intruders🤣🤣

Thanks Rick! I haven’t come across this type before.

Looks like Indian glass? 9/16”

At a loss on this one… Vitro?

Happy Saturday!!! Found at a garage sale… 15 1” Akro Uniques 3 peewee germans pelts and Alleys 1 akro limeade 1 akro corkscrew 3 semiopaque handmades and others.

This was a large plastic jar of mibs I bought today at a garage sale. Saw some akros, pelt rainbos, and WVS…not cats and one or two game mibs. Plus one large Alley swirl on the bottom. Lady was using them for art projects, I told her I’d buy them and bring her back the jar full of other marbles for her projects. She was trying to raise money for a new washer, so I offered her $100. She was shocked as was her daughter. Didn’t want anymore marbles, so off I went. this is 5/8”, never seen this surface before.

I would except nothing less from you🤣🤣🤣

$179 and rising…

You have a great eye, and pocket book!👍👍
