LOL! Lets put it this way, I have not yet put them in my safe deposit box, nor have I insured them. Still, they have shelf space, because they are, after all, marbles!

LOL. I have some too, from my Pokemon-loving-daughter years ago. I figured I would have to hang on to them for a gagillion years, more or less, before they will pay the mortgage!

Ohh Woodse, I know, I know! After I posted I realized that my grammer generated a great visual! I am glad you enjoyed that. Thanks for the laugh, that WAS very helpful. I figured it out. Shipwrecked Marbles, David Rosenfeldt in the early 2000s. I guess he made both the one with dichoric shimmer floaters and the one with colored glass floaters. Ruth

Thanks, all. I will work on getting pictures up.

After a few years of "other distractions" I am rejoining you marble folks again. I can't find some of my paperwork, and want to know if someone can help me out: There were one or two marble makers making liquid filled marbles, with floating inclusions. Who was it that made them? Thanks, Ruth aka MyMarbleBuddy

I guess it would not hurt to mention here that my Pelt Blue Bee is for sale on ebay, and the auction for that And some other great Pelts ends between 6:00 and 7:00 this evening Pacific Time! You will see in my listing I am not certain if the imperfections in the BlueBee are as made or not. Nice Adventurine! I sell under MyMarbleBuddy

Thank you O' Answerer of my Query! I don't want to let this post die away, however. Does any one out there have a photo of a marble like this? Or do you have others like this?

You DID find it, though, right? Lol! I once came very, very close to throwing out a mint guinea ...in a dumpster. That would have led to a horrible search and rescue project.

@ kbobam: I meant the new pasta shape... I collect marbles and like new pasta shapes ... obviously I have refused to grow up! but Fish is good, too. Gold fish crackers are a treat, and the Parmesan are my favorite. BTW: You need to sell a marble and go buy groceries!

I NEED the fishies!

Is is a Christensen? I have not seen photos of a similar marble anywhere. This is 19/32", and the base is definitely a pale gray, not white. It has faint streaks of golden yellow, which are subtle, but show up in a few photos. I love the art-deco style! Can any one post photos of a similar marble? Thanks from (Your)MarbleBuddy

Happy birthday, and your cats are planning a wild rumpus at 2:30 a.m. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Just plain sweet!

I love this thread!

This is what it is like: 2:00 a.m., warm and snug asleep in bed. Suddenly, wide awake you hear it: the unmistakable crash followed by the sound of marbles Rolling everywhere across the hard wood floors...

Thank you!

I read on line that not being able to log in yesterday was a huge kerfluffle on an international scale! I always blithely assumed that everything ran perfectly in e-bay. I don't know why I was so naive, but there you have it. I think perhaps we should be amazed it runs as well as it does. New perspective.

I just Googled " ebay glitch". ..... And I see there have been a whole slew of problems lately, and yesterday was a mess... Take a look.

Bummer. I had no idea. But it is to be expected! But... Only recently have I observed this glitch I wrote about, wherein E-bays listing page timer says one thing, say "45 seconds" and then when you click on the item, to see the full listing and bid, the timer says "1 minute and 25 seconds". ... Yesterday the marble listing for Zaboo's marble actually said "Ended " at something just over $200, but it had not ended! The bidding was open and continued for about another 40 seconds, and it sold for more. But he may have lost bids due to the glitch, yes? ( just using that listing for an example, because I saw it happen...witnessed it, and all that. Yeah, I am a paralegal...;-/. ) I think this is unrelated to sniping programs? And It could result in lost sales, or under bid sales. Yes? Help me here! I've got marbles listed!

Just now (while Zaboo's crazy Christensen swirl was running... I just wanted to watch), the bidding page was almost one minute behind the listing. So the listing said the auction was over, but when you clicked on the item, it was still running!!! The Listing said "Ended" and gave a price, but sure enough, people were still bidding. I saw the same thing happen on Monday (or was it Sunday?) It could adversely affect bidding prices. All the other items are similarly affected, not just that one. Has anyone else observed this? Anyone know what is going on? I can't like it.

We played in the storm surge waves in Santa Barbara yesterday! they were big! but not like that!

Ah yes, to have 75%, but the question says "more than 75%". If Fatima is only drawing 4 marbles, "over 75%" is 100%! So, Pamela, on the train, in Boston, with the candlestick.

Lol!
