How Does Damage Affect A Value?
akroorka replied to Sortitallout's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
This is what I see here-- A very nice example of a cross between a Pelt "Superman" and a "Superboy". A very nice find indeed. The damage has to be shown in a better way. Well cropped and very sharp images from all sides (four) are needed. If you expect instant results--you are in the wrong place. We take our time here but you will get our very best from the very best in the world. Marble--On!! -
It is a very pretty one imho. But it is unmarked and one that you love--so I get it. Marble--On!!

All (ALL) glass machine made marbles have two cut-marks or seams--all of them!! Include German Handmade marbles as well. They are like dog turds ( or any turd for that matter)--a starting point and an endpoint that may be hard to figure out--but they are still there. The exception would be some of the more modern torch made marbles. Keep the Fiber and Water goingāand of course---. Marble--On!!

Me too, Marble--On William!!

I agree Nantucketdink. These are getting to the point of being Vintage--not quite yet imho as well. There are many collectors of these and I do not blame them--they are "Top Notch Vacors" that have been out there for a while. I have collected these for years and they are still a very hard ID--very Hard. Do your research and buy from the best. Marble--On!!

I agree with common--still pretty cool--a great starting point here though and a great find and ID on your part. Marble--On!!
-
X3--one of the Best that Master Glass produced--the green and white is not too shabby either. Marble--On!!
-
Nice call VA-- Marble--On!!

I agree Parmcat, These white Akro slags are hard to get an image of without a bit of grey trying to include it-self for some reason. There is no grey in the glassājust a lighting thing that I could never figure out. I know thisāthe white is very white and the clear is very clear. A really nice marble to hold in handānot real common either, Nice share MarbleāOn!!
-
I would not call this one wonkey at all--just a run of the mill with a great glow to it. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
I love it--a battle worn old---"Not Quite a Corkscrew", but it was designed to be imho. Nice share--a keeper--in an old jar that I keep my Akro beaters in--start one-- Marble--On!!
-
No doubt here-- Marble--On!!

This is just a great example of an Akro Corkscrew Parmcat. I will bet that the AV is green. This marble is cool because I think that it was a production marble sold to the general Public. (I have not seen one like this before) The damage on this one lines up to be a "Played With Marble"--not one from the digs. Some folks may call it "this"-- some "that"--I will call it "Pretty Cool". A very nice share, that just made my marble day-- Marble--On!!

You are in the right place my marble collecting friend. There are many here that collect what you doāa varied bunch we are ( talking like Yoda againāI get it). If you are a True Collectorāyou have patienceāit will take some patience for any questions asked here but we all will give a patient answer that is well thought out and accurate in our personal opinions. Give us your best opinion and back without any negativity. I am one of many that will keep you and any that post here straight. MarbleāOn!!
