opaque,diaperfold,bothsides?

A good investment might be one of those polishing machines that I have been seeing on the net latley.They cost about three-hundred dollars and I was amazed at how nice some of those jabos look after they have been polished.

I got these in Canton Texas,it's a huge flea market.A guy said he thought there were some marbles in a dresser drawer,somewhere in one of the warehouses. I looked for quite awhile and sure enough.....

Is # 4 a CAC opaque diaperfold? Does it have one seam? Could I see the other side please? Or do you have any CAC opaque diaperfolds you could show us? I would be interested in seeing them,if you have time? bo

Happy Birthday Steph.

Ric,I believe the majority of the Ades type Akro marbles were corks.Of the marbles pictured only three or four are patch type.Pictured are lemonade,limeade,cherryade and a blueberryade.Nice patch marble,bo

Kevin,take that marble outside and take a pic in full sun and you'll get the aventurine.

Okie,I believe the majoriy of the popeye marbles are in the collections of people who are not motivated to sell them.So the few that do make it to sale are common or damaged.The rare mint examples bring the best money.They're also great for filling up those authentic popeye boxes with bags that drift in from time to time.Yes I wouldn't mind have a jar full.

Well I was very excited earlier this weeek when I first saw this thread about diaperfolds.I had to wait till fri. to get pics,the first mib I took pics of,which I thought was a diaperfold wasn't.As I was about to post pics I literally tripped over the definition of diaperfold,meaning a marble with only one seam.Yikes,back to the pile and after all that,I found only three that met that critical criteria and they were all industrial-ugly compared to those beauties you posted.I have come to the conclusion that diaperfolds are rare!If a guy could just make some of those he'd be in bussiness!LOL.But by now I have invested time and energy and will not be posting pictures of a diaperfold but will post a picture of this (what looks like a) diaper-FULL.Oh,and by the way friend,that last pic you put up wuz a little fuzzy.bo

Yes,those colors are freakishly freaky.All your marbles are very beautiful!You must be a long time collector.bo

Whoa oooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo oooooh......Superfreak,Superfreak......Super freaky

Steve ,we both got identical letters saying we were not to speak of "it" again.Is this your way of speaking about "it" ,without speaking about "it"?

Jack take that one on the left outside in full sun and look at it,see if it sparkles.bo

Hey,was the squabble zone a choice when I voted?I vote for the squabble zone.As far as marbles over mayhem I will just say I post alot of marble pics,and enjoy seeing marbles and marble related storys over the mayhem on the board latley.I think the word "attack" is over generalized to mean anything that is in dissagreement to a particular few people who post here.If somebody want's to follow someone around pestering and correcting and finnally calling them names such as stupid,idiot,fool,then the person being singled out should have every right to defend themselves as they see fit.This is America!

Cool mib Jack.I collect cats-eyes myself and haven't found a pee-wee crossthru yet,you might want to wait awhile to let it accrue in value.It's definatly hard to find,for me anyway.Heres a pic of my 1" crossthru and 26 three way cross thrus that I found just recently in the wild.In my opinion cats are alot of fun and easy to find.Good hunting,bo

Allright ,I got off my big fat you know what and went thru some of my stuff looking for champs.Anything look champ?I'm thinking maybe a couple are right.bo

Kevin,I know very little about Champion marbles and look forward to learning more about them in this thread.Great pics,everyone.I think I may have some of those purple and caramel ones,didn't know they were Champs.Better go find them now.bo

Joe I don't know for sure who made it but everyone who see's it likes it,so far.It could be CAC but there is a little bit of a smearing on the green base glass,don't know how I would describe it, could be Alley.Size is 11/16".bo

Thanks Kevin,I'll get some pics ,now I know what they look like.Good information,Thanks.bo

Gonna throw another match on these flames with one of not very colorful,but cool flames.bo

I'm liking mega more all the time.I wouldn't have guessed it was Mex,it's very clean and tidy little marble.I will take some MK pics this PM if I get some time,I only had these few in the computer already.Thanks,great thread.bo

Yes ,Bubba they are filled with aventurine.I got them in a lot off ebay last summer.I go for almost anything with aventurine.Grasshopers,that's a cool name ,I'll just call them Irish rainbows on St. Patricks day LOL.Here is one I'm not sure of it has aventurine and looks like an MK patch Watermelon.Aventurine is in the green.

I call these Irish Rainbows,MK made some Good stuff.Bo

Here is a marble I have always thought was a Master comet or meteor not sure what the difference would be.Any one else got these I would love to have more.Trade?

Kev, here they are all together,ain't they pretty?Sparkler types?I'm thing master IMHO,Bo
