Nice mibs Brad !!

Dope !! now I gotta take some Blurry pix, will probably be tomorrow mornin, almost midnight now. "Good grief" just tried to get some quick blurry pix but the Sony Handycam I use for all my pix has an auto focus function I'm gonna have to work on turnin off. Went to the menu, no such animal, I'm sure there's a way to disable it (maybe?) Now I'll be @ this all night till I get it figured out !! 12 : 20 Finally figured out how to disable the auto focus, now it's so blurry you can't even tell there's a marble there, I never thought it would be this hard to take a "Blurry" shot. Didn't have any trouble doing it when I was trying to take a good one ?? I'll have something for ya by morning.

Did =you just getv that big brown slag ??

RECAP Time :: Still having 80 - 90 degree days, everything is fried. Just a bit of fire showing on a few trees due to the shortening days, Supposedly a frost is coming @ the end of next week, hopefully the chlorophyll will begin to come out of the leaves in the trees & some great fiery colors will begin to appear 🤞 The construction is advancing quickly, around the corner, dug, plumbed, filled & almost to my house. I also see the tall orange flowers to the left of the excavator beginning to wane, they were like 9 feet tall, maybe I'll stroll over there and get a closeup before they're gone ?? (maybe)

Williams gonna have the biggest garden in the county next year ..... .... and a whole load of freshly dug mibs :: William Skaggs - AKA "The Human Rototiller"

Peltier Wolverine

A Peltier Rebel from my 09 auction for this "Slags and Swirls Saturday" though you can't see it very well there is more than a moderate amount of av in the black ribbons, Pelt swirls like this are a bit on the HTF side. Another Pelt for this "Slags and Swirls Saturday" a Pelt Christmas tree, again swirl style and even harder to find w/ the olive colored ribbons.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Betsy" Nice pix, many years of combined marble & marble related knowledge here and people more than happy to share what they know. Again "Welcome"

I was @ the store, came back and this what happens, I been se up !! ... ... To tell ya the truth a German Striped was the last thing on my list. C'mon Chuck, an easy one, Please ?? For my sake !! ...

Even w/ the greenish base I'm still up for Alley on all

I was gonna just post all the known manufacturers "but" we'll be there by a process of elimination soon enough (maybe?) I'm delaying taking pix for the same reason as you "if I ever win again ?"

Yeah !! Now who wouldn't have known what that is ... Me ...

Is there oxblood ?

Dope, time to recompute more of what I don't know ....

Took me some serious diggin Dave, I have a few more pix ?? Here's a couple links, info on them is very limited indeed, has always been that way because of their scarcity, @ least IMO.

100% Popeye, never heard of any stipulation as to the amount of transparent clear base it has to have just that it has it. The qualifiers to be a Popeye as far as I know are a transparent clear base w/ whispy white strands running through it and @ least 2 other opaque colors. I'll post a tight stranded one and a thinner one. Even distribution of the white strands in the clear base seem to be the ideal $$ mib, but all perspective. OP Popeye, you can see the clear transparent base. A couple of mine Thin dispersal of the white stranding, my faves This ones a whole lot closer to the example in the OP

Well ? Now I'm thinkin ....

Here's some ade pics for ya Dave, been savin em for years. Only the second patch mib is mine, the rest of the pix I had saved in a folder. In all these years I've only had 2 Akro blueberry patches, so VVHTF @ least for me. BTW nice cork, BB ade IMO Blueberry ade cork Blueberry ade patch Another Akro blueberry ade patch

Master ?

Spiderman Blended Marble King Rainbo ?

"Thanks David" I've only seen 2 powder blue in hand myself and only of which I owned, the 11/16ths I got it along w/ the set as an extra.

Great, thanks David, more than I could have ever asked. Thanks again for goin the extra mile, pix and all !! I know those sets and especially any amount of same cane are VVHTF over here, the price has been on the steady increase for the last several years up till now it, seams C19 has put the temporary cabosh on things. Simple is good !! BTW nice board of mibs ya got there Was wondering if the Powder blue solid cores were also HTF where you are ?? I only had one !!

A piece of Akroware for this "Akro Friday" this one has the so named "Dart" design on the sides. Have a great day all, time for me to hit the hay

My Dad used to tell me "Ya are what ya eat" ... ...

Hmm .... My brain hurts ... ...
