Not speaking of any as yet "unnamed" mibs. Naming an unnamed type makes it more recognizable when trying to I.D. The "Renaming" "Changing of Factory Names" & "Reuse of Names" all just add to the confusion & cause disputes. I already remember Sherbets, so in my mind at least it's already stuck.

Yeah buddy, nice one !!

There's one bag of Vacors I wish I had !! I hear their not very common in the bag like that, or otherwise for that matter ??
-
More like "renaming" already named marbles, including trying to change some actual factory given names, ridiculous !! ?? What a trip. As if the myriad of names wasn't already on overload A lot of new collectors "yes" but a few just looking for their 10 seconds of marble naming fame. Throw it at the wall & see if it stick's type mentality I guess ??

"Happy Peltier Tuesday" At under the half inch Pee-Wee mark. A couple marbles I thought I'd never own. Two Peltier Wolverines & a Pee Wee Christmas tree. I was gifted this one as well as another along w/ a Pelt Pee-Wee transparent Christmas tree from 2 different "Marble Friends" I couldn't believe it. Both types were supposedly "Lunchbox" marbles and not production. I am grateful as well as humbled by my "Marble Friends" some beautiful marbles that will never be sold and are among my most valued possessions. The first Wolverine I got, in the box it came in the mail in. Both Wolverines are duplicates of each other & spotless wet mint. I can't tell them apparat ?? So a measurement and a pic w/ their namesake. I know I've posted all these before but this probably isn't the last time either. Both Wolverines along w/ the Christmas Tree. I have never met either of my "Marble Friends" and probably never will !! Never the less I treasure their Friendships immensely. Not because of the marbles, their just pieces of glass, but because even though we've never met they thought enough of me to call me their "Friend"

Collect whatever makes "You Happy" Something I was told a long time ago and has held true & kept me going. Doesn't matter what everyone else collects. Over time though I've grown fond of all marbles, the best part by far is the people I've met, my "Marble Friends" & a hobby that has lasted well over 2 thirds of my life ....

Just a "personal preference" & "my own opinion" but "I'd" make it worth the drive and $$ and get some good Antique ones. Quality and rarity are almost always better. Something you know will hold value & possibly gain it over time. "Maybe" a waiting game ?? but worth it in the end !!

"Happy Monday" Colors plus the streak of oxblood make this a Kato. I've never seen one in hand, only in pictures, but certainly a unique example with some classic MK colors thrown in. Looks like an old-school patch & ribbon style to "me" also ?? A you can see there have been many years of dispute over the actual base & or ribbon colors, oxblood content etc... Thanks & appreciation given to our Brothers & Sisters @ AAM for the pic.

I wish !! This ones a lot closer but still ?? About as close to a "Carnival" as I 've come, close in color & one of my best Alleys but still I wouldn't consider it a carnival. -
Man, enjoy it while you can, I keep saying that & there's still green leaves on the trees here, though it was 35 the other night ?? Are we going to have a, Real Winter ?? When I was a kid it was 9 or 10 moths of Rain, mot showers, rain and 2 1/2 - 3 months of summer if we were lucky, snow to the top of the fence posts at least 3 or 4 times a year. Now lucky if the ground gets white, let alone staying there for 2 weeks !! Not complaining but I do really like the rain that's why I live here.
