I did well selling bags of 30 marbles for $5. They were all in played with condition and lots of random common stuff.

are any of these for sale?

I always put a little goo-gone in my soapy water. It gives them a nice oily shine to wipe off and I think it leaves them shinier when your done.

chocolate cow variation?

the part where I said there's a raised part can barely been seen in the bottom right pic where the reflection is on the surface.

It's not a scanned pic. I took it myself, but looking at the bottom of the mib, there's still a raised part in the glass. I know it's not a pontil, but I think it's where the figure was inserted.

I have some polished mibs where you can see a little surface evidence of polishing, and this one just has a few scratches, (I know that scratches CAN look like polishing, but this definitely is not) but no chips.

I know it looks too clean to NOT be polished, but I'm 99% sure it's not. (haha... get it... 99?)

But for discussion sake... what could this be valued at as polished and not polished?

any thoughts on what this may be.

I'm thinking a bear of some sort, but I was hoping for a more specific description.

also any thoughts on value?

Not polished and 2" diameter.

I have one of those blue based vitro cats in a 7/8" size

if rumor has it correctly, I think he wants 10k for it. These are all legit from my understanding.

Also wish I could be there.

check out youtube, I know there some on there.

I had someone do a re melt of some of my sulphides, you don't loose as much glass with a remelt. Here's my examples

WOWZERS!

Marblenut... have you heard from anyone on the National Committee yet? Hopefully we will be able to hook you up with materials for starting a program.

I love marbles, whether is playing or collecting. I just want to share all the positive experiences I've had with the game with others.

I'm so glad someone is putting a show together around the time of the National Marbles Tournament. I'm there every year and am always looking for people to talk collecting with. Please let me know if you need anything. I've ran Marble Camps and held tournaments in the past to qualify players in the Nationals. I've also coached a few kids to play in the Nationals.

I won the 1999 Nationals, 2000 international tourney, in england, and 2000, 2001, 2009, 2010 Past National champs tournament, and 3-4 more British style tourneys

I use agate shooters or flint depending on that surface i'm playing on. for concrete I like to use a rough dense weighted flint. When on a wood surface I use a lighter type of agate I had made from some south african agate stone. When I play in dirt I use a larger smoother flint, and when I play in sand I use the same as I use for the concrete

I'm always up for a game... maybe we can put a few mibs on the line and play for keeps... using other marbles than our good keepers of course.

does this have a special name? it's a blue base with wispy white and of course the orange cork.

are those transparent base cub scouts mibs called a searchlight?

3, 4, 5, 6? I just can't tell

I agree, alley.

There's me!! The youngin' in blue in the background. This was the first time I sold anything at a show, and it was had for me to part with a lot of things.
