My mother started picking up Marbles here and there while antiquing and kept them in a jar while I was in my 20s. It turns out my Dad had a small box of Marbles he had saved from his childhood tucked away, but I didn't know about those until 5 years ago

It is actually quite sad. All I had and all I remember were coke bottle Asian cats from the late 70s. Did not play any for keeps type marble games in my childhood😕. I am 47

black and orange

next: pink and green

one of these has it (I think). Next: rainbow red orange yellow green blue indigo violet or there abouts

brown and black

Challenging challenge.

bright yellow and gold lutz. They are out there.

chartreuse and lutz

It is actually worthwhile to show what typical cutlines and cold rolls look like on 1" range JABOs in this thread, however, I can't post my lame photo in a big enough size to blow up where one can see the cold rolls on them or the cutlines. I totally understand the ID part doesn't belong here.

These are some JABO Blue Boys

lol. Now that's funny.

This 7/8" Superboy looks like a JABO Blueboy to me. Just sayin

They sent me an additional 6 free with the 6 I paid for. $7.99 well spent and 1 of the freebies was a killer. 1500 of these would be fun...

One is too many and a thousand never enough.

I didn't get any good external silver swirls in a whole case, so I had to buy a couple of special ones separate from my case. Bummer, but that's ok. The silver swirls with lutz swirls are truly rare I guess. I was able to obtain 2 examples with the silver bits on the inside of the marble (not confettis) and one of them also has a nice internal lutz swirl. That being said, my favorites are some of those simpler transparent ones from this run. I love the lutz swirls and hate the confettis, but still want examples of all the different confetti combinations. Internal lutz swirls are still so cool...and extremely rare in this run.

Many phones and cameras have settings that can be adjusted to take smaller type images. There are also programs you can use to resize pics instead.

Awesome. That is by far the biggest chunk of furnace brick in a marble I have ever seen and it doesn't even look fractured. So cool.

to make them look like that. fun thing to do

the 3 marbles you show of yours are all JABOs, not the facebook ones

yes

First one is a JABO WVMCC run

When buying most 5/8" size marbles in bulk, I feel an average of 10 cents each is generally a good deal for both buyer and seller. There are about 100 5/8" marbles in a pound. A 25 pound box of 5/8" marbles feels like a good deal to me for $250. Getting/Finding 25 pounds of older mixed maker marbles is the hard part. When you are new to the hobby, it can be difficult to tell the difference between newer and older marbles. Go get them and good hunting!
