who said it was an apple??......(ha-ha, not sure why, but i was feeling a bit snarky just now, and decided to try to be funny! ha-ha, lol, etc!)

thanks david!! it's unique for sure--when i first picked it out of the box it was in i thought it was a wacky sparkler, the inner corks got that lumpy, wavy sparkler texture. d

here's the link! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220592645684&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

This guy will go on Ebay tonight at around 8:15 CST, link will be forthcoming! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. d

i've picked up those here and there and have a pretty good handful...they are pretty cool...haven't looked at 'em under the blacklight....?? d

i'm interested in hearing about these....i picked up several recently...they are nice!

david--i had (or may still have) one of those red jasper marbles that look just like oxblood! i bet i have a pic of those 1'' 2 seam akro ox's somewhere---

beautiful!! that's what it's all about!! congrats!! :happy-857:

galen, it the top one middle row akro?? would have never guessed it! would love to see more pics of that one sometime. more on topic, that middle one, middle row is scary close.

(copied definition from dictionary.com) "to reduce or remove the practical significance of; make purely theoretical or academic." dani posted an almost identical marble on another board that was a dug Akro...so the identification discussion is "moot"! still would like some input on the size question though....seems like in the last couple weeks i've had it come up several times. d

i think the "pocked" you are seeing is light reflections Fel! i'd say upper left corner, middle and 2 on the right are vintage.

yes, thanks! and thanks dani----very, very helpful!!! d

thanks everyone!! d

just had this confirmed by a couple akro experts....(can i thank you guys again??? LOL) 5 color Popeye w/ blending.

i know i remember that champion didn't make a marble over a certain size.....was it 7/8''??? got this one today...13/16'' i can get some more pics later tonight if needed, but i was sure it was champ----then the size thing came up. maybe ravenswood?? anyone?? help!!

dang!! one of the nicest rainbos i've ever laid eyes on!

tried to find an "oxblood" with a couple colors to work off of.....that last one was a bit tricky!!

lol...yah, for 300 grand you think they could cover shipping!

wow sue!!!! i think "koko" is one of the easier (and cheaper) ones....you were right there!!

i keep a few pelts now and then...lol....and i stumbled into 4 of comics on Proxibid once for about $30 a piece, so i thought what the heck!! it has certainly been a process, and i didn't think i'd ever get the Kayo, but stumbled onto that one very (VERY) cheaply at the KC show....(seems like i might be a bit drunk with all this stumbling.) now i just need to get the box....which the repos cost more than the marbles...i guess i should have a few drinks! lol d

picked up "Moon" today (thanks again Pat!!) two more to go!!

LOL....yep, i know that guy!! (it's me). i'm never one to say 100% on swirls, but i've had this one ID'd by some pretty heavy swirl dudes....it's an alley! d

i'll give you $2!! lol nice find....i like those two shooters!!

i've had a couple nice ones here and there
