Gina Macias

I want to sincerely thank all of you for helping me ID so many marbles in the past few days. I wanted to ensure I got what I paid for and I really appreciate your assistance and advice. I have been having a problem with my eyes, so I am having difficulty with distinguishing and like to get what I pay for. I am having eye surgery next week on Monday and hopefully will have a lot of new marbles, (you all helped me identify)to get me through the convalescent period, as I won’t be able to read or look at a computer. I’ll probably be mad as a hatter! I’m not sure how long it will take, the lens replacement is standard it’s just the corneas that may be a problem. I am an optimist so I’m sure I’ll be back in less than the six weeks projected! Thank you all again. I’ll be checking in until Monday, but wanted to ensure I thanked all of you before I forgot, I’ve learned so much and been treated so kindly. Thank you so much  is all I can say.

NLR...National Line Rainbo 😊

Thank you and I know I should look these up myself, every listing  has a new acronym. Is that a contemporary brand or a vintage, it looks opaque.

It’s very true. I was at a flea market and saw a Blue Bennington with a few marbles in a jar. I asked the guy what he wanted for the jar. He poured the jar out in a tray and told me the Blue Bennington was worth $50. I just said good luck. No slap in the face trying to straighten that price out. Just moved on.

I do not mind spending when it’s worth the price, that’s why I always ask, because as much as I’ve tried to find comparisons, it is so up and down with pricing. I’m trying to find an Indian blanket or I’m sure I’ve seen other “Indians” to honor my poor husband who is Native American and has spent hours trying to teach me how to shoot properly with some of my ABU marbles on the rug. ABU is my own acronym for “all banged up!” Thank you all so much. I’m honored to be around such knowledgeable collectors. 

Acronym NLR? and thank you, also Chad hand gathered, what does that mean? As always, many thanks.

Very Hard To Find. If it's out of round that doesn't mean it's VHTF. Probably recovered at a dig. $10 People seem to think a lot of their marbles are VHTF. At $55 they are dreaming and mislead. FWIW

Thank you, I laughed aloud at “they are dreaming and misled!”

Approx. 21/32”-11/16” out of round. Also, what does VHTF mean? Thank you so much. This is around $55.

This is going as a MF Christensen Onyx, it is 9”

It looks like a JABO to me too.  Single JABOs have sold for $400.  Just sharing that money bit.

I bought it anyway, just because I liked it so I’m happy! Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Oop !! My bad Gina, sorry bout that one, the 100 count went right over my head  😖  "Thanks' for the reminder Steph"  

No worries Chad, I’m a writer by trade, think I can make the limit!  Hope my content isn’t snooze worthy. I’m trying, hope I’ll be able to see it.

If you want to check out some cool videos, including the Heaton marble dig, check out Stephen Bahr's marble videos on YouTube. He's got some nice, informative videos about different types of marbles that you will enjoy and learn from 😊

Thank you so much, every single person I have encountered on this site has been so kind and helpful, best site ever!

Thank you all so much.

I’ve always been told to shy away from the aforementioned marbles, however I have some spectacular multi-colored ones and especially the ribbon ones, that are so beautiful. They are not worthless to me.
