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

Kevin ,yes yours are master,the surface is the same orange peel,crystal clear glass,same construction.I think I have a 1" pepsi around here.That's a master too?I got, all three together at the same time ,these are more impressive.Kevin,go outside and take some pictures and you'll see the similarites better,I always try to take pic's in full sun,high noon.They were designed to be played with and looked at outside,according to my reasearch.Bo

Both measure 1",these are the biggest masters I have.

Not so uncommon.Bo

Bigjohn,the cartoon is great but this thread was never about marbles,it was dedicated to David's opinion.IMHO

David ,are you fishing for a knee jerk response? IMHO you are,that was the purpose of your thread,from the beginning.Also I had never heard of MKA until you mentioned it here at MC and I believe you included a link.IMHO is a courtesy and a disclaimer at the same time.If you don't like it don't use it.Bo

Just thought I would step up to the plate and take a swing like you were saying David.Didn't think you'd go Nelly,just some of my opinions.JSOMO

Maybe less of this would encourage more participation from others that have good questions or encounters to share.I have learned that calling names doesn't help to build a community.Bo

Can you expand on this? Bo

Opinions are fine when choosing your favorite color or flavor of ice cream.If you want your opinion about a specific topic to carry more weight it should be grounded in facts.Get your facts/research straight and there will be no reason for a disclaimer like IMHO.Example: In my opinion the world is flat,that is not based on facts as we all know.The earth is not flat according to my research.ATMR

Thats an original vintage marble bag he's holding,contents pictured.YODA you're busted!!

Yoda marble eye's he have ,rare.....?

From my experience I believe this message is from Yoda.He has an extensive marble collection.Really I'm sure it's YODA

Kevin,do you remember what the tokens sold for? I found some at a yard sale ,thought they were pretty cool.If anyone is interested I have a Jabo just like that one with aventurine and oxblood.I'll take $60.00 for it.Bo

.850"

Kevin,do you have pics of the black oxblood stripped opaque? I didn't know they made oxblood stripped opaques.Thanks Bo

I'll say 45

You think this hobby is bad, try coin or stamp collecting. Lou I've heard that the Bonsai board is the very worst,all those little trees and there history,and how about those giant pumpkin growers?bet they disagree too....Bo

Idon't have alot of handmades but I have these.The mica in the middle is 1-1/2" ...Bo

Great pics everyone.I'm up and around again after surgery three weeks ago,this is the best I can do with one hand.Bo
