I am more jealous of the fact you are on Sanibel Island, love that place, got engaged on the beach there!

This marble is awesome!

9/16" Vitro cobalt 8 finger to 1" Akro cobalt cork. Had fun putting this board together!

Wish I could go, y'all have fun and send me some marbles!

Sounds like your done, better stop collecting marbles and start collecting something else.

Have to say I am VERY pleased. 1. Very fast shipping, I live in MD and had my marbles yesterday (Wednesday) and they were shipped from CA! 2. VERY reasonable shipping and handling charges. ( I won 11 lots and my S&H was only $7) 3. Decent grading. Thanks and I hope there are many more auctions to come!

That's awesome!

Marbles Pre-1940's Van Briggle Art Pottery Pre-1940's Cracker Jack items Stoneware Bottles Antiques in general that catch my eye I dabble in most of these categories other than marbles. Bottles are getting to be more serious by the day as I have currently hit my glass ceiling with marble collecting.

Always good to have new marble venues! Hope to see some great marbles, best of luck

What a loon

The seller is Morphys shipping manager

As is most of what he sells

A lot of people think I am crazy. I have been collecting for 20+ years and have yet to be tired of looking at them. Sometimes I have to pull myself away from worrying about the condition and rarity of them and just enjoy marbles for the little works of art they are!

I don't think it's the intention of most of us to bad mouth as much as point out experiences. I believe it's important to call out this stuff as its happening more and more. For a lot of people it's a big expenditure to buy at Morphys, so we would like too see better attention to detail paid to the grading of marbles. A major auction house claiming to be top in the field should have a little more QC.

I normally take the 2.5 hour drive to inspect the goods in person. This time I did not have the time. So I can wag the finger at myself for the condition being lower than expected on 2 out of 4 handmade lots. What I was really not happy with this time was the box I bought. I normally do not buy machines, but saw a neat Akro box going cheap. When I opened it the bottom of the box, it had a thumb sized hole punched through it that looked fresh. Perhaps it was there before, perhaps it was by the shipping dept. I did recently return something on eBay to the shipping Mgr of Morphys. So who knows I was very pleased with one particular lot I bought, so in the end I suppose it was a wash. Lesson learned, do not bid without looking over the goods in person!

Just would like to know how others feel? I myself was less than ecstatic

Did they start putting taxes on out of state bids? Or was that a mistake on my invoice?

Love the grading scale of this seller....................................... NOT!

that is impressive!

True, but gives the description "vintage" But I will Admit that description "vintage" is a horse of many colors!

That is awesome!

I concur!

I would be upset if I bought a marble listed at 2 1/2" if measured 2 3/8" from pontil to pontil, regardless if it measures larger at other angles.
