I posted a $680.00 bid, reserve not met.oh well

That marble is amazing looking. If it was white, black and gold it would be sold!! It would then become a New Orleans Saints Fantasy mib!!

This one I don't have in hand yet......it is in transit as Itype this. Apparently it came from the Alley/Champion plant we were discussing in my other thread.

Goose Head!!!

I think typically the bullseye's have a single color patch surrounded by same color bands running seam to seam. Color doesn't matter?? But most I 've seen are banded in a red color. Another note. I believe they can be back lit 180 degree of the patch and the bullseye is apparent?? My newb response. Lol

On the bottom row, second from right, you have a green CAC slag . . .

I kind of thought that on that marble. I just always thought maybe a pelt with a weird cut.

What about the 15/16" dark amber with the white? Upper row. Any thoughts.

A few nice ones in here. A couple not 100% sure on especially some of the slags and the large one up top. It appears to be a

rootbeer float.

Awesome!!! Thanks!! That clear yellow glass was throwing me for a loop..Might have happened when they switched from a yellow ribbon core over to another style. Anyways makes sense to me!!!

As you can see in the second pic the yellow glass is clear. So the marble when in hand looks yellow when lit up.

Yeh I'm gonna try and back light it and post that pic.... When I shine light through it it looks like clear yellow is the base???

I dont think it is a popeye either... Just really dont know what to call it since it is not a white base... more like wispy white

This marble looks like it is winking at ya. Couple of people that looked at in person say popeye because there is some clear glass in it. Another said no but that they had never seen an Akro this color that wasn't a popeye. What do you all think?

Dot, You ask: Good investment? I state, It could be a great investment, or it could be a terrible investment!. When you are trying to find out specifics about a collectible, then you need to supply all the info you can about it. IE: Is it well centered, is it a first out of the mold, middle of the road, or a real dud with rounded edges on the component parts. Are there bubbles or a bubble attached to the figure and if so how big. Near Mint could mean anything! You actually need to describe it in the best of your ability the condition of the marble. etc., etc., etc., I'm only pointing these things to you in order to help you. Welcome to the board, Ronnie

Thanks. I will go back in there and check them out. A little closer and maybe take a few pics

I am going to miss this one so I thought I would make a retired avatar thread. People can post a goodbye to their former Avatar with an explanation of why.

Mine is retired because I sold my beautiful Ally for 69 bucks on ebay....sniff good bye sweet flame!!!

There really is no such thing as black glass.

The "black" marbles are usually Red,blue,green base with mixtures in the glass to make them black.

Purple is the most common as it is so dense it can even repel light and on a shiny surface, will not emit a purple hue,but pure black

There are no black marbles

Per images, if you are using your cellular phone, go into your image settings and adjust the image to 3megs in size and they will be 1512x1084 (Gike or take)

Yeh I understand that concept....I have a popeye on ebay that if you look at the pics you would think it is black and yellow. But in the proper light and if you look close you can realize it is super really dark blue. So I listed it that way as Cobalt blue. The other one no matter what light i put on it looks black. I'm a huge Saints fan so to me it looks "BLACK AND GOLD" and may never leave my hands...LOL

So anyways......this is the sparkler....it has some amazing coloring in it.....really dazzling!!! Tried to count them all and I think a total of...7 maybe 8 but i'm sure some of it is blended....that is the very first one I ever have seen "Live" and held in my hand

Let's try to minimize the sarcasm in threads like this. Thanks!

Dot, I really appreciate you showing us your find!

well I am a very good reader and researcher. I came on here because Stacey recommended it GREATLY. Like I said I have ran hundreds of sites and I know a troll when i see one. So what ever... Peace

Could your Popeye be a real dark blue instead of black?

nope i have a really dark blue one and it is listed on ebay.....as dark cobalt blue...i looked real close it is black

gnome at one point i had 112 websites with 112 forums, I currently have many of those still in operation and I also have a US registered trademark related to those businesses....just sayin......i've dealt with alot of ppl...the only reason I am even on a forum is because a very good friend of mine referred me here......I have dealt with TONS of PC TROLLS and sorry but you REMIND me of everything ever known about a TROLL...dont like it?? Then real easy stay the heck out of "MY" threads.

Someone asked to see this??? Is this a black and yellow? sorry not the greatest pic...going to bed...cya's

limeade oxblood

Smoking sparkler

Lemonade oxblood??

I know an antique store that has 9 sulphides and a large German separated core banded swirl..."NOT LUTZ" One of the sulphides is a boy sitting on a chair and is over 2" for 275.00 but is actually in what I would guess to be near mint + condition... the german is same condition and is about the same size for 85.00 Good investment???

I was wondering...is this a Milky ox blood or an Oxblood with a splash of milk???? Can you drive a car on it??? Just sayin... I "WAS" really excited to see all these fabulous marbles... then along comes a troll
