Okay! Then someone get us started! MY picture taking has NOT come all that far! I'm still way behind. And my marbles are still covered up with moving boxes. And I definitely do not have a CAC Moon to try to show off the particular CAC features.

Never heard of such a gadget!

Spring has sprung. 50 degrees (F) ... snowbanks are almost all gone.

Anyone wanna share pix of Akro Moonies or CAC Moons? Here's an older thread with some examples ... http://marbleconnection.com/topic/19957-christensen-agate-moons-box/ Would be cool to update and show more variety. Picture-taking has come a long way.

There _are_ white marbles with value. There are specific structural features we look for in them. Akro moonies will sometimes have what are known as "fish eyes". And the older ones have a more translucent look to them. There are also certain structures to look for on Christensen Agate moons. It's time to have a new thread on those. I'll start one in the main chat forum.

awesome! literally

The colors are solid and distinct enough that I'm thinking abut CAC. Those green circles are strange to me though. Galen? @lstmmrbls?

When I saw the first bright bubbly pic, I thought of a couple of possibilities for it. Either a Vitro Conqueror with the orange misplaced, or a Bogard cat's eye. With this second photo, I'm leaning toward Vitro Conqueror with a non-typical color distribution. Just leaning though. Open for other input.

Do you have a picture? Quick note: 1/2" is the cut-off for pee-wee marbles. 5/8" is a standard size marble. Just 1/8" difference can make a big difference in value. Without a photo, I'd say you need to assume the marbles are worth maybe 5 cents apiece. Some patches could go into the dollars ... some could go for a lot of dollars. But most will be a few cents.

Welcome

U stands for Red Zebra?

I don't do ghost stories ... but I like Ray Milland and haven't seen him in awhile ... so I'm peeking at this one. Hope it's not too scary.

Just watched a Law & Order SVU where ... it took me awhile ... but I finally figured out that both of the male guest stars had played husband to Hayley Mills in Parent Trap sequels. Tom Skerritt and Barry Bostwick Too bad they didn't get Hayley Mills to also guest!

And two days later I get a placeholder Akro silver oxblood in the mail from a friend.

At minute 5 I wanted to go make butter. But now I'm at minute 12 and I want to be a stone cutter.

Is that a Leighton? Barberton?

Sláinte!

I love clover day almost as much as groundhog day.

That's magically delicious.

ooh, I like.

pearly!

You sure have been busy. That first one looks like a swirl, with the tongue you're showing us. This one looks downright celestial ... starry night ... avatar worthy.

Pennsboro Alley. Fairly confident about that.
