  1. Yikes! I think my calculations are way off. I’m trying to wrap my head around that one. But….I do realize there are more higher levels of collecting marbles that are way beyond my marble money budget. And here I thought buying a Berry Pink for $125 was over the top🔥 RAR
  2. And I know you have several of these that you have posted on Pelt Droll Over These Tuesday🔥 RAR
  3. I think that’s a wonky Akro Corkscrew.🔥 RAR
  4. How in the heck did I miss that one? Agates are in my top 10 favorites 🔥 RAR
  5. The one on the right is an Akro Carnelian if it pops under UV🔥 RAR
  6. I kind of thought the story was bunk.It's hard to imagine getting one of these for less than $400-$500 unless it had a blow hole in the AV. It's definitely my Lifer Dream Pelt🔥 RAR
  7. No doubt on opinions. I’m hard pressed to think this is an Alley because of the color combo which means it probably is. I’ll take a guess at it being a Cairo🔥 RAR🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
  8. Levvy nailed it. I can never remember how to spell veiligglas so I usually think of the these as vegetable glass🔥 RAR
  9. Similar story as the Blue Galaxy. Another name associated with a car🔥 RAR
  10. Not mine. Just a quick Google example for the/a Newbie who asked me if they should buy some MCS🔥 RAR
  11. Fact or fiction I’m not sure. Story goes an employee at the factory drove a blue Galaxy with a black hardtop to work. When these marbles rolled off the rollers the workers named this marble after his car.🔥 RAR
  12. No Oxblood. What you’re seeing is what “burnt” red ribbons look like when the glass got to hot. That’s also why the bubbles exploded.🔥 RAR
  13. NO DOUBT! Come home dirty and tired. Eat a can of beans and whatever else you have and go to bed. Wake up with a cup of coffee from the grounds you saved and go back to work wearing the same dirty work clothes and hoping you don’t get busted up and can’t work. There wasn’t any real romance going on. A lot of women were doing the QC and sorting out the pit bound marbles.These marbles were being made during the Great Depression. So….here we are. Somewhere down the road there were nail and railroad spike factories being made as well. Both sides of my family were farmers. My Great Grandma told me if I get a high paying job….just don’t forget were I came from🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RAR
  14. This is my Muddy Opal🔥🔥🔥 RAR
  15. I should have said any of these with oxblood and or metal. I missed a 7/8ths yellow white and blue one back in early EBay days. I stopped at $47.99. It went for 64.00.🔥 RAR
  16. Boo Yah !!! Great group Ric🔥 RAR
  17. I think Snowball is a Homemade ID that some collectors call these. I haven’t been called out for calling them that….yet🔥 RAR
  18. Colorado is a dry state. However. I have noticed Carowill has his honey holes🔥 RAR
  19. Ahhhh! No wonder I wasn’t up to speed on that one. I’m not on it🔥 RAR
