I harbor no ill will towards you and has long been put to bed but, the way you change the facts of the past.....not going to stand by and let you do it. You thought of yourself as an expert in CAC's and called them fake.....not maybe...not riding the fence... so, there was something about them that turned your guts......and all you have or any of us have, is a story with no proof.....now they are the greatest machine marbles ever made...ok...mon

Ok, I make a dying out in left field and with my skewed way of thinking comes.......why would I evaluate an item if I was not sound in such matters? Sad part is....you make more sense than I! lol mon

Hey-low! I was waiting on posting...until I could say something nice! Finally! lol mon

Don't make a pledge to yourself...try buying some Pledge, get a rag and dust off your brain so what you claim in the past, really happened in the past! mon

OOOPS,,,,,and I knew that before posting......old age creeping in ~a~ sorry & enjoy! (fixed also) lol

i'm thinking more about greenvwbug and hope she turns this find into the blessing it is. They have been selling great sparklers everyday on e-bay without sending the price into the dirt! good luck greenvwbug and be patient.......mon

by the looks of them ....coverage & color wise.....they are worth way more than the numbers being thrown around! comparable sold sparklers on e-bay bringing 40 to 50 bucks for NM+......take your time and have no regrets because it doesn't happen often! As for collectors here....trade for other marbles you may collect of equal value and see how eager they are to give up theirs. CONGRATS IMHO http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marbles-WET-MINT-5-8-Akro-Agate-360-degree-Sparkler-with-8-Colors-/161685067935?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a52e589f

Yeah, what a wealth of knowledge and as always......eager to share!

Thanks Ray! mon

Yes Sir! nice!

I can dig it DB but I thought I was in the correct line......A wise man said....you can't expect filet mignon when standing in front of a hotdog cart! lol The horse is still dead but it good to know one person gets it! Thanks DB

Ya ever watch "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"? I think we're all going fishing today! Happy Easter All! ...Books: now I'm afraid to read them!

Funny stuff for sure!!! LOL Two were told a rumor but the other two claim to know them personally. And the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...the wheels on the bus....

I missed the Mike Art at first.....very interesting and a need to know what the other side means!

bump!

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING IS JUST MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!! Galen...post #6 in the first exotic link page 1 Having been in the antique business for years it is one of the number one rules that if it is too good to be real it probably isn't and I had a very knowledgeable person once tell me, If it wasn't then-it probably isn't now. Meaning, something that is only known in recent times probably isn't old. I own 2 they are beautiful marbles but I am not spending big money on them. Until some one shows me some in original packaging or some very clear pictures of some taken before 1990. Galen this and Galen that...all over this board...and all I can find is that he is a flim-flam-man! Did you get your clear pictures or original packaging? Don't say you didn't have any to look at with your Hubble Telescope cause you say you have 2. You continue to saw off your own legs and believe/trust me ...people see it! C'mon back-trackin-willy....start bull crapping some more reasons...ya know...how old you are....get confused...bad pics.....tired.....and the list goes on an on You had won...no more damage control for you and Craig....but you have to poke! You just don't know when to shut up.....you shut up when tangled in your own web but come out to rub dirt in the eyes of people who care...thought you was going to enjoy their beauty? Now, we will see..I'm going to ring every bell and scream from the top of every mountain to let it be known! Steph, I beg you not to delete or remove..or lock up this thread..this needs to be seen! again, IMHO! MON

Sitting out on the back porch....oh what a beautiful night here....I can hear the moth balls being scattered around this Exotic thread like all the ones before. I hope everyone takes in account that all of this becomes sediment just like the seasons we live through. The future will excavate through these layers and will have more ways of determining the truth. I hope everyone is content with how the future will see them.....for it will be forever how we will be seen, by those who care. They won't count your money and they will give two shits if you was liked but they will take note of your honesty, desires an agenda. Thanks to ALL OF YOU THAT OFFERED TO POST. mon

I'm full of dumb....so all of these are folded once...is that correct? Thanks Chris94 mon

I haven't yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All kidding aside..... I'll bet some people that are holding these wish we would shut up and pray things will go back the way it was before this thread! I have been in those shoes!!!!!! It is very sad that it has lasted this long and the sales just continue! I have yet to find a good explanation from the side of "real". Some that are high on the rung are in way over their heads and can't do anything but stick to the story! They have sold them....even gave out a certificate of authenticity that surprised the crap out of me! It's a big disgrace to all that sat on their thumbs in the beginning. I hope no one will ever stand by and witness this slipping back to being a fact, not a group of known marbles and not even an important name! Shame, shame. shame! mon Also, I wish I could make it right and take that pit from your stomach but I can't! I also know it could be a major set back in your life.....what to do......To my defense, I tried the same then as now to get answers FWIW!

Do you want to go into business together? Heck, we can super glue any akro pieces onto our guinea halves and call them Arnold's transitionals.......he was thinking about his upcoming move to akro and started to experiment. He made these sparkler/guinea marbles and hid them inside Cambridge's water tower (that's why they are so clean and shiny). Why are they glued, some may ask.....Arnold was deep into horses that CAC used on gambling side.... back then, old horses = glue. So he needed to use and make money on all that glue....how can I use glue in marbles...wha-la On the marketing side, if children knuckled down with His Marbles, they would simply fall apart at the glue and he was going to sell "Trigger Quick Draw" glue sticks that came in a little holster. His slogan was.."Come on kids and pull the Trigger" Folks, these are rare! Ann, don't worry if this makes no sense......ya know? mon babbling

I've searched high and low but can't find any air bubbles....oh, maybe one that could have lead to its demise....lol
