Like those Akro corks!! I'll be watching!!

So....does this mean the seller doesn't know what he/she is selling? Is this common in ebay? I've only been collecting for a couple of years; and all my marbles have come from ebay. I bought alot from Alan Basinet and other known reputable sellers. But I wonder how many others are not what they were represented to be! LOL

Thanks all.

What is a Christensen Akro?

Hi ausman. Welcome.

Those two marbles actually look fairly different to me. The shade and opacity of the red, the opacity of the white.

But I wouldn't want to have to ID Alan's marble either. It doesn't look CAC to me.

I agree with you. But where my experience is limited; I defer to Alan's expertise.

Hello, Alan Basinet has a red/white flame - CAC - up right now on the Bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Marbles-MINT-5-8-CHRISTENSEN-AGATE-RED-WHITE-FLAME-/350464409971?pt=Marbles&hash=item51994e8173 The differences between this example and #3 are quite subtle.
