My favorite thing in there of my collection...a copper star inside this JABO machine made

This one is more on the marble than in it

silver BBs hiding in there for real(not air bubbles)

I like lutz rod nubs

Several companies made marbles with these colors...this one looks like the JABO version of it to me.

The 5/8” marbles are the Classics in this pic. The 3/4” are contract marbles. Most are Encore Run, there are several Moonglow Run, and at least one stray ET Crystal. The single big one inch marble I need another view to see if it is just an oversized Encore, or if it’s a Classic.

Sure looks like what your voice told you to me

Yes

Yes those are the run of Vacor Wicked Owls that look like the original one to me. That’s why I shared the pic. They are older (believed to be the first run of them) instead of a newer run of them.

It looks like a Japanese transitional to me but they don’t get that big. They made them bigger than an inch, but no where near 1.5 inches (that I have ever seen)

Champion I believe

Little late but I still read the post…they are Foxfire 2 Run

2002

Your’s were made in 2003 if interested in more info.

Good call. Very possible

Did the Hardy collection sell/change hands?

It’s a JABO

Least collectible JABOs are probably transparent blue 5/8” industrials. Most collectible is up for debate for sure, but Peltier Mansion silvers, DT Specials, Silver Foxes, Madyia lutz swirls routinely sell for triple digits when they come up for sale. I realize that info is useless for a newbie.

some similar Champion blues at the top

Trying to think about how one could end up with the “stringy” look to the pattern and the bubbled overheated look when starting with one of these machine mades gives me a headache as I don’t even know if it’s possible.

I suppose moderately buffing it could POSSIBLY do something similar. It could just be a full on original torch, but the combo of colors hints to me of something else. Just trying to share a thought about a marble (the fall frenzy one) most are likely not familiar with. When you shine a light on the blue moonie base Fall Frenzies the base is a match to the original marble.

There’s only one run of machine made marbles I am aware of that included marbles with a blue moonie base…lutz swirls…metallic swirls…black…with hints of green and white just like the original marble and that is Reno Fall Frenzy. The black swirls in this specific stage of the run are not as thinned out/stringy as the marble in question and thus one of the several reasons I suggested it would have had to have been torched to make it look that way. The colors are spot on though.

You can see a couple of the Steelers types in this random bag image I grabbed off the internet. The base shifts from almost black to gray to blue on these types during the run. Sorry -best pic I could grab quickly
