I thought it was really poor character of them to hold all our links that are intertwined throughout years of threads and discussions for ransom... pay $400 or lose all your content in archived threads and everywhere. Classless and greedy. They will not make another dime from me.
Welcome! Nice group! Sometimes it takes multiple views of the marbles to ID them. Many of these do not. The first row across:
#1 and 2 need more pics, #3 is a very nice Akro with oxblood.
2nd row across: #1 maybe Alley, #2 nd 3, more very nice akros with oxblood.
3rd row across, all very nice Akros, 2&3 with oxblood.
Sure did, pretty often in the 1980s. We played for keeps and I was good, it's how I got started enjoying marbles. I would seek out the ones I wanted for my collection in the ring and get them as often as I could. The good old days when we played marbles, cops and robbers, tag, hide and seek, and rode on our bikes and skateboards instead of playing video games all day and staying glued to the TV.
