No need to be sorry. It does look like there might be a little bit of clear streaking in the white base. But if the base itself was transparent it would be more obvious - you would likely see it looking like clear lines between the patches and ribbons, and backlighting would surely tell the tale.

You're confusing me. This marble has an opaque base and so do Type IV Tiger Eyes and All Reds, including this one.
-
Yes, a crazy splotchy one too - pretty cool.
-
If it was a Tiger Eye it would be a Type IV - Type III are veneered on a transparent base. But FWIW, I think it's a new style All Red and not a Tiger Eye - the red is just more orange on this one.

That is really cool - stored away for all these years, it's remarkable! -
Is That a Bleed Through or a Tracer?

Couple of good marbles there - Superman variants. I think the dark is just some discoloration in the mix, not intentional. Akro probably would have called them Specials. -
It's in the B&B neighborhood, I think.
-
I agree with Fire.
-
It looks like an Akro Carnelian to me.
-
You made someone's day, I am sure.
-
I'll bet they'd like to sell it for $50 even better.
-
It's a new one, JABO contract run, DAS or SMM.
-
It's giving me a Jackson vibe.
-
I don't think they're JABO - maybe newer Marble Kings.
-
Nice Indian Blanket.
-
This one looks Heaton to me too.

I agree with Fire - likely a Gladding era from the looks of it.
-
Common Pelt Rainbo, but a pretty one, and in nice condition too.
-
It's not Peltier. It looks more like a Vitro to me - maybe Marble King.
-
It doesn't look like a corkscrew to me. It's a swirl of some type, not Akro.
-
My guess would be Champion but it could easily be something else. Typical one color game marbles like this are of little interest to collectors so most folks don't bother trying to sort them.
-
I think this is a newer Marble King. It has Cub Scout colors but I think that name is reserved for the older patch and ribbon style.
