I haven't been collecting marbles very long, not even a year yet, but I would say that this mib is probably tops with me, simply because of how I got it. Pulling this Akro Sparkler out of a $12 jar of mixed mibs was a feeling similar to hitting a good lottery ticket (too me anyway). And the odds of it being in this condition considering how long it possibly was unprotected was cool in itself 😊

You'll find a couple of threads, Squabble Zone and Lounge I think, related to the crazy Ebay stuff. And I'm sure Covid19 played some kind of role, look at the Sports cards/Memorabilia side of it. It exploded because everyone stuck at home broke out the collections and started a fire there. Rookies and singles hitting record numbers for sales prices. Insanity. I could make a killing on my huge Football card collection but chose to sit on it. 👍

No matter how big or small, it's a score my friend 😊

Oh yeah!

Oh yeah, in the snail's 3rd picture, can I dare say that it looks like it's getting sick? 🤮 🤣🤣🤣

Yep, my phone isn't very good from 25 feet away 😉

That's the same thing I thought about my 2 little guys. Who knows how long they have been banged around and too still look half way decent like they do. Amazing.

Good morning! Nice one, Chad 👍

Like my little pale green one, this is another one I found mixed in with a bunch of random mibs...

Correction...she's the "Queen" 👑

General marble and glass chat 😊

Gladys created a post on July 1st regarding "eyelashes"....she showcased a Vitro she found with some. Also pictured are some good examples from Akro and Masters 😊

Thanks for the input 😊

I was hoping not...it just seemed a touch different than others I have and have seen...

That's me too...bunch of old coins around here somewhere, U.S. and other countries. Buried somewhere! Got a few old spoons around here too that are sterling silver, Gerber baby spoon, a couple of late 19th century pieces. Only collected this kind of stuff a short time. Also have a handful of Troy ounce slabs hidden somewhere. 🤔

🤞

Not quite sure, 3 pics with flash, 3 without....0.51

Welcome! Once you get your pictures rolling, post them in the "Marble ID" forum. Try too add sizes if you can, that could aid others in helping you identify your mibs. Lots of friendly, knowledgeable folks here that are more than happy to help ya! Enjoy and have fun 😊

Great group! I like how funky they are 😊

I placed it on here for ID a few months ago or so....if I remember correctly it was identified as a Pelt but don't think a "name" was put too it? It's got some size, 0.99. Maybe someone will chime in?

Pretty snappy there, Joep! Like it 👍

Had too have this, a Planter's Peanuts jar, cobalt blue. Measures right at 12 inches from the top of the peanut to the base. Love it.

Some manufacturer defects can be cool to see though 😊
