  1. Just because someone's been collecting 25 years doesnt mean they know their marbles. The marble pictured above is a Peltier. The closest Vacor ever came to the Superman is their older run Serpent.
  2. I get annoyed with eBay listings like that.....I'm pretty sure that seller knew the marbles were newer. In order to learn the difference.....go buy some vacors and then go buy some true christensens.....after seeing the examples in hand, you'll always know the difference.
  3. Opaque clowns are actually not opaque.....they are a very deep transparent red. I discovered this when I recently purchased an extremely powerful light. It will appear opaque with a lesser light, although they are not.
  4. Don't forget about me too Craig.....you already know I'm heading down there looking for rare pelts. I'll bring my keeper CACs for you guys too.
  5. Nice alleys Galen, looking forward to the canton show....you won't be the only west coaster taking the long flight.
  6. It looks more like an Akro Indian blanket.
  7. Yes, I agree the forum is the best place to learn about marbles, you get to share information with seasoned collectors who specialize in all different types.
  8. I have only been fortunate enough to find one example, if i ever acquire another one, I will surely keep you in mind.
  9. Happy new year everyone. Don't forget your designated drivers if you're gonna be out on the town this eve.
  10. There is also a "green" bruiser that at first glance appears to be a pelt "green hornet" with a black base and wild green pattern, but when back lit the base is actually a dark brownish green.
  11. Holy smokes. The 3rd from the bottom (purple & teal) is a killer.
  12. I see another one of those clear brown based swirls with the baby blue....I think they are awesome champion marbles and remind me of Christensen blue lace marbles because of their color.
  13. I see a few really nices one in there, particularly the clear brown based ones with baby blue and the dark purple bases with blue swirls. You think we could get a close up of those killer mibs??
  14. Hi, they are both Akro and some people refer to them as augers.
  15. Hey....that's the REAL "cat in the hat" and he sure knows how to make the season bright.
  16. Haha....killer mibs calls for killer security! I'm sure Al has quite a few stunner marbles that need ferocious protection.
  17. I sure do enjoy seeing your pelts chuck....as far as a name for them, I really like the pelt "Pink Floyd" name.....but I'm sure some of our fellow members will think of something more catching.
  18. Happy holidays everyone! May the new year bring fortune, health and mint+ mibs!
