  1. 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.
  2. 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...
  3. One is too many and a thousand never enough.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. to make them look like that. fun thing to do
  8. the 3 marbles you show of yours are all JABOs, not the facebook ones
  9. First one is a JABO WVMCC run
  10. 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!
  11. Can I refer to an internal lutz swirl in a transparent marble as a Schiller now? Killer Schiller.
  12. I hate it when some of my marbles get lost in transit before they make it to my house.
  13. Its a bird, its a plane, its a lamp full of Christmas Supermen ready to light up somebody's world.
  14. I just got my full case of the Christmas ones. Yummy. Sorting through a new case of nice unknown marbles is such a joy. Green and red floaters with lutz swirls screams CHRISTMAS to me too.
  15. The weight just gets to be too much over time. I have also filled 2 different giant monster glass bottles that broke "by themself" just sitting there days after they were filled.
  16. To answer your original questions, there were also the Mountaineers in that run that had that great blue. One has to become familiar/acquainted with the different runs to recognize the differences among the various superman colored marbles Dave and company have made. If you handle a bunch of them repeatedly you can recognize the diferences. Pretty much true of all marbles.
  17. I guess since your's doesn't have orange it it, it would technically be unnamed, however, it is very recognizable as from the 2003 JABO 3/4" now known as Superman Run. They are a celebrated and sought after group of marbles.
  18. You know what, I might take my original ID back. It is from the 2003 "Superman Run," but your marble doesn't have any of the reddish color in it at all. The Extraordinaires have brown along with the Superman colors. A Superman has just Superman colors in it. That would make your's technically an Indian Blanket (I think)...need to go refresh my memory.
  19. Dave just recently made some more super sweet similar supermanish marbles.
