  1. Yes. Some pretty ones. Akro Limeade at #9. I'll go Popeye on #3 and #7. And maybe #1? ??? Is that a clear base? Or is that transparent green? Does #6 and any significant amount of clear or is that a pretty solid white?
  2. Put #1, 2, 3, 5 in your basic WV Swirl groups. Vitro Tri-lite on #4. And I'll say Vitro Tri-Lite on #6, but this one looks special. I'm leaning to another Vitro at #9. And then more pics on #7 please.
  3. That flecky one looks handmade. So the question is ... are the flecks mica?
  4. Some pretty 'uns. Eyes when to the Muddy first, and then the interesting ribbon colors on the bottom row and then to that green on the 2nd row! Now I can't take my eyes off that green. That's vivid.
  5. I'll go with Paul. But it just dawns on me, that I've never thought much about the structure of Akro Milky Oxbloods. Are they typically out and out swirls without even a little bit of corkishness?

    Muddy base

    Alley? Wacky Akro?
  7. what a nice shade of green to wake up to
  8. Probably has to be one I've had on my wishlist for a LONG time -- no impulse purchase.
  9. Thanks to you both, Jay and Bill. Congrats to Bill. If you PM me with your vitals, Bill, I'll mail it on Monday.
  10. Not mine! Marblealan sold it. The blue and amber is a famous CAC ... the part I'm fuzzy about is whether the striped transparent version is called Blue Lace. Or if only the swirl version is called Blue Lace. So did Pelt have a similar color version? Or were you sold a CAC by mistake? I don't know the answer to that. Don't know what happened to my "click to enlarge" option. Here's a bigger version.
  11. Do you think of the bottom one as Chinese?

    Marbles

    This one is an Akro corkscrew. A very popular marble style. Some can be valuable. Again, condition is very important. So this one is probably in the "cool, it's a cork" category, not in the "cool, it's valuable" category.
  13. Well, I will bid $10. If I win, I save on shipping.

    Bulgarian

    Well, I finally bit. At $8 for 6, if I ever want any no time like the present. My 6 are on their way.
  15. I wouldn't do a reserve. Some people start everything low and count on people getting sucked in by the potentially inexpensive marbles. My general recommendation is that you start your listings at $9.99. You could have a group of 20 plain WV swirls, or you could have a single cork. One very tricky thing about auctions is grading the marble's condition. And another thing is giving accurate sizes. This becomes more important if you're selling single marbles than if you're selling a group. For a single marble you need to give a really good description with good pictures. You get to list 50 auctions for free per month, so if you price something too high and it doesn't sell, you're not out the listing fee. But if you put a reserve, I'm pretty sure that costs.
  16. I don't see anything I would call eggyolk. #1 WV Swirl, probably Alley #2 could be an Akro Corkscrew -- nice twisty one if so #3 leaning Alley with these views but that really wide ribbon is making me doubt #4. Leaning Vitro #5. Akro Moss Agate #6. Probably Alley
  17. you saved the blingiest for last well played
