I believe the top looks like a peltier rainbow?? A nice akro cork, and a a akro popeye?? Thanks my best guess! Either way nice mibs!!

This auction just went off the bay tonight and it went for a ton of money! Not really seeing much value in this lot. What just wondering if I might be missing something? Thanks, Chris LINK

One nice Pelt Superman with adventurine in this group! The rest are akro's.

Some more pics.

Here are some pics of it underwater. They show the shrunking core and the lobing of the marble a little better.

The blue in the marble is alot darker than the pictures show. The light makes it look much brighter. The blue core reminds me of a jelly core that is sometimes seen in german handmades. I picked this marble up off ebay on a chance. The picture was bad and I was "told" they got it in an estate sale quite a few years ago? LOL

Yes, the core does have a lobed effect to it on two sides of the marble. Ill try to get a picture of it.

Hey guys and gals! I recently picked up this blizzard mica and was wondering what everyone thought of it?? The marble measures a little over 1 1/2" and it has a translucent blue core shrunk inside the mica. The pontils on it are still there but I believe they have been remelted with a tourch?? They are unlike the traditional german pontil. The marble also has a lot of "orange peel" on the surface, would remelting the marble cause this?? What does everyone think?? Is it an old shrunking onion with mica that has been remelted? Or is a good example of a contemporary marble made to look old?? Thanks for the help!!

WOW!!!!!!! Extremely nice find!!

Here is a nice bunch of akro's that I recently found at an auction! Not too bad eh?

If you don't mind me asking did you pick them up at an auction in Pennsylvania? I had seen a auction advertised with marbles and two of them were golden rebels? Also if you don't mind how much did you get them for? LOL Though about going up there but 8 hours is a little far on a Wednesday! Great Score!!!

Here are some more pics!!

Well I got the two lots in the mail today that I bought off ebay and much to my suprise they are ALL melted pontil transitionals!!!!! I believe they are all Navarre? The amber three are all around an inch and the rest are around 3/4. The one amber one had some annealing fractures but is still a beautiful marble! Thought I would share them with you!

Thanks everyone for the help! I can't wait until the end of the week! I will take some pics when they come in and let you know what they are. If you read the descriptions in both auctions it says something about a rough spot where the swirl ends?? Hopefully a pontil!

Hello everyone! I won these two lots on ebay last night and was just wondering if you guys think they are what I think they are? I believe they are both lots of Navarre transitionals!?!?!?!? I have my fingers crossed! Auction 1 Auction 2

Check out the CAC's this guy has for sale on the bay! All I can say is WOW! My link My link My link My link My link

Hey Marbleman, Yes, the bigger blue mib has eggyolk and white swirls throughout it. It also has a hairline swirl of oxblood in it! Thanks Chris

Here is one of the rarest marbles in my collection. It's a superman hybrid popeye that is 9/16" and wet mint! Great thread, let's keep it going! Thanks Chris

Hello Bill, Yes the green marble has a mixture of blue and eggyolk swirls in it. I wish it was in a little better shape but it still is an awesome marble!! Thanks Chris

Here are a couple of my ground pontil mibs! I love this thread and I love these marbles!!

How late does the in room trading usually go?? I am coming up from North Carolina and won't be in until around 7 (if the roads are good)! This is my first show and I am soooo excited!! Thanks Chris

Wow Me TOOOO!!! Is there a chance you could post a pic of these marbles you interviewed?? I would love to see them! Thanks Chris
