I have noticed that also.

Supply is not THAT limited. We forum regulars could easily flood the market with our bins full of Conquerors. People on facebook are getting quite a distorted view of what they could get these super common marbles for if they looked pretty much anywhere else.

Not naming any names here. It's not one seller. It's a lot of people and a lot of crazy high prices for commons and junk, not to mention mis-id-ed marbles. I've been rolling my eyes at them for months and biting my tongue. The example which brought me here to vent is someone asking $10 plus $5 shipping for what they're calling a near mint Vitro Conqueror. This is one where I'm not sure if the ID is correct. Could be, but I'm not seeing enough detail to conclude that it has a clear base. Whatever. Not so long ago, the going rate for a mint Conqueror was a dime. And think how bad condition needs to be these days for most selllers to grade any marble as less than NM+. Again, it's not about that one marble. It's an epidemic. I should be glad that my commons are now worth so much. Maybe they'll still be going for numbers like that when I'm ready to divest.

Probably. I have an itch to rotate the top right to be "sure", but I bet it is.

dynamos!

The bottom left is the only one I'm seeing as a Multicolor Rainbo. Looking for three intentional colors of ribbons to qualify as MCR. The MCR was introduced in the National Line era. I've seen some which looked like they probably were made after the National Line era. But mostly NLR-era. So, I'm seeing one NLR-era marble in your group, and three Rainbos.

I've seen it a few times. Something I already posted showing up again in the reply box.

I'll bump for the swirl gurus!

Fun! Bonner Springs, KS Moon Marble Company

I guess I better watch that video. In the meantime, I can bump the thread for you.

Agreed. First thought is Vacor Yellow Jacket error.

schweet!

Akro Flinties could have the pole to pole structure. And Master Cloudy could.

Marble King, Vitro, Akro?

Found the nickname. Sprite.

I'm seeing Rainbo. I do not know a nickname for that color combo.

Jabo.

That's a small one? Going with game marble, possibly one made by Alley.

Marbles such as this are why I am rooting for Pelt on the third.

I sorta want the green to be Alley, but with as much green as there is you're probably correct about Jabo. Edit: actually with that bright green, I might consider Vacor for the modern option. And I want the black and orange to be CAC but you're probably correct about Vacor.

Oooooooh. Pretty. I should know whose but I don't. Could be Pelt. Could be one of the more obscure makers that we now know do bananas. I haven't kept up with we know about those lesser known cat eye makers.

Good chance on the red. Long seams on the green could point other directions.

I think so.

Peltier. Akro. Akro or Pelt.

Akro on #1. Jabo on #4.
