I bought a couple🥴🥴🥴

Technically AKRO… bought from Joe when we had a booth at the 08 Sistersville show. there was an older guy at the show selling his homemade cherry wine for $3 a bottle out of his trunk, thinking his name was Sonny??

A very light purple cork on a moon or base.

Gladys, I have some of your missing mibs😁😁😁

Haha, I didn’t make it this year either, got jammed up at home. I got it 2 or 3 years ago.

AKRO or Masters? Been in the AKRO stash. 1st marble in 2 pics, 2nd in the last 3. this is in reference to the opaque sparkler mibs.

Yellow on white corks from a previous thread. Close but no cigar, still looking.

Black on green. Mint is from Dani at a local show, beater was from a $5 jar.

Off the top of my head, I’ve got 4 or that that also have a stripe of black. Will let you if I find any🤔

Crap… now I gotta go thru all my akro storage bins🤯🤯 what other color rarities should I be looking for?

Let me know if you want to sell it…

Just found a $1 partner for my 5 hybrids

The Seattle area has a lot of good people collecting marbles, I hope he finds out who the thief is.

I recently visited a local antique store in Maltby, WA that I have bought marbles, and other items, from for years. He used to keep the marbles in a case in the back room, opening it for regulars to look at. He had a lot of older mibs in bags, pricing them per mib. Recently he decided to change things around, and move the marbles up front. He found a bunch of empty bags stuffed under the case, indicating people he trusted had been stealing from him. I was crushed, as he had no idea who was doing it, and suspected all of us. My wife and I have always been scrupulously honest in dealing with him on all purchases. he bagged all of them together in $10 bags, over 100 bags in total. All sealed, so no individual inspection possible. Very sad…

I stopped in a local antique store today and went thru a booths marble box. Been looking in it for 4 years on a regular basis, $1/mib. Found a MK hybrid that matched a set of 5 I found locally a few years back. What are the odds? I took it to the cashier and excitedly, with a stupid grin, told her her “I found one of my marbles”, she lost it. Definitely made both our day.

I am at the point where I will buy a jar of marbles just to get a single keeper, then give the jar back to the seller. I have too many commons and contemps already in jars. It makes me happy, and the seller is thrilled to be able to resell the jar👍👍👍

Speechless, quite the finds👍👍👍

Great pics! I can’t do it myself, if I can’t use my phone, I’m lost. Camera-to-Pc-to-edit-to savetofiles to post online, I have a serious aversion to.

Been looking 25 years, never found one in the wild, or the apple… congtats!!

Imperial???

Bacon (read that as Vacor using autospell) has made great improvements replicating American classics…🤬🤬🤬

I seem to remember Bert from FLA having tears in his eyes after getting a couple at the 2008 Sistersville show.

Pics?
