These are the year 2000 Marble Kings Notice the blue base - with yellow patch? MANY of those have been sold as 1930's Peltier Peerless patches.

Blended varieties??? eat em up!

MK Dragonfly - took me years to finally get one! And this one of my favorite photos of my collection of 1" MK shooters. Marble Kings are one marble I find easy and fun to collect. heres smore

Personally speaking, that marble is WAY overpriced! and I bought a novelty "logo" marbles from this seller and the "logo" was nothing more that a lick on sticker on a 1" white marble...crap! It wasn't worth returning. There are more fakes in the marble market than goo on a gummy bear.

I suggest you take it up with the seller directly - he states in the listing it came out of box of 100 - so ask for a pic of the box....seems easy enough. This very thing is exactly why I have refused to purchase any more marbles that are not definitely identifiable. Vacor and Jabo are WAY too tricksome. I have seen thousands of them and many many many pass for antiques - especially the lesser known like CA even Navarre - lots and lots of Ravenswood, Cairo, etc. Its just too damn risky to spend 45 to 50 bucks a marble and end with 2 penny Vacors.

Very odd coloring for a Vacor Plus - the listing states that the marble was taken right out of a box of one hundred - no doubt Alan has a photo of the boxed set.

SCHMOOSHY PELTIER?

I dunno - If I geeet to keep a feesh like dem uns I may not mind trolls so much'ss

If you have Microsoft windows just right click the photo and say "open with" then use "microsoft picture manager" In the picure manager you click on "fix" and the right column will pop up to "resize photo" boring the pics posted are way cool..

Vacor has a pattern that shows up on their marbles - below are examples of a few of the Vacor patterns: This is a Vacor serpent This is a real Peltier Superman notice the cut lines - color slightly bends just before the cut? Here are a few examples of Vacors "pattern" long tailing swirl - huge big curve - thin twists back and forth (not corked) When you see that pattern on a Peltier CubScout (vacor wavebreakers),Peltier Tiger (vacor tiger), a Cherry Akro Slag (vacor rooster) or Blue Akro Slag (vacor neptune), or a Peltier Superman (vacor serpent)- or a multitude of Ravenswood and other assorted West Virginia swirls - which vacor has named "old fashioneds" - bells and whistles should go off for further examination.

typical - sigh

wow - cool - my father was a meteorologist in the US Airforce during WWII - he always taught me about cloud formations and weather patterns - those are truly amazing. Here - you will really enjoy this http://www.cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/index.php?auto=1&showimage=6477 - sorry - no marbles here.

hmmm - marbles are like poetry in little balls of glass.

did not get what a real superman will get tho - still a rip off.

thats what I was thinking too - just so the bidder knew his action was noted....even though he was monstrously outbid.

green and black ones look like mega marbles newest run of "camouflage" they are black and green with that same familiar Vacor pattern. there is definitely some neat stuff in there too - is that a lutz?

I agree Steph - Bruce Hudson has bought several marbles from Marble Alan and seems to be inquiring about identifying his collection when in doubt. so how Pavcraz got the image is still a question.

same guy here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=252289682764&v=wall note the IDs down the line aways - Akro Slag? and the Bloodie? hmmmmm. and he runs his own Ebay account since 2008 http://myworld.ebay.com/hudsonmarbles I dunno - I cant find any links to the two except the photo...so whats up with that?

Its highly unlikely that Pavcrav stole the image from BLuegrass - because he would have had to remove the "bluegass" lettering across the image to make it work...

The promoter of Bluegrass club has definite connections with Pavcraz - whether Pac stole the image or - Pac is Bluegrass, or Bluegrass is a close friend - somehow they are connected - heheheheheheh this is hillarious!!! way to go - nice catch!

Did it not occur to anyone ask who is running Bluegrass Marble Collectors who is "Bruce Hudson"? do we know him?

sounds like really good advice - because I know how hard it was to build the collectiion and how nearly impossible it would be to replace - you are right - thanks for the advice.

thumbs up - with a smile - this made me chuckle - thanks.

sorry - just put me on "ignore" then you continue your dream.

I never knew. as for sending and receiving marbles - oh sure - I have done much to promote the hobby over the years - most recently I sent a complete set of beginner ID marbles to Pete in the UK - he visits here from time to time. I also heavily sponsored give aways for the Canada Marble Show back in the day and have helped many local collectors. thats all well and good. thanks.
