No--you are wrong here Wolf. Never support a bad buy--just suck it up and continue on. Live and learn like all of us have at one time or another. Blame it on yourself or your lack of research. Your Uncle, Brother, Grandpa or Mother will never take the blame--it is up to you! 2026 may be your year--or not. I wish you great luck in the coming year. This Marble Collecting thing would not be easy or everyone would be doing it. You cannot just break in and start. If you want some books--just ask--they are not all accurate but they will give you a starting point. We are all special in this world, all of us!! Happy New Year Everyone!!

You sure have--A nice one for sure. The earthy tones are not always a trademark. These Master Made Marbles come in a variety of colors that may make you think that they are Akro Sparklers. This is where it gets tuff--study the cutlines--even tougher. Once you get a feel for these--in hand you will know the difference. MasterMadeMarbles almost feel like stone--cool to the toutch and very hard vs an Akro--smooth and pretty. aww that may just be me. Geat find!! Marble--On!!

Wolf, this one seems to have some work done on it. Polished at the very least--still quite a nice marble though. I wish that I could take it further as far as explanations go. Look for sharper edges, blow outs that do not have a smoother edge and any parts that “feather” out without a sharper line between the colors. Experience counts with these and many need a loupe to consider, even for the best of us. I regret one that I sent out over the Christmas trade—I never saw it—Tommy did and I will make it well. Spend less and learn more. We all learn everyday here. Marble—On!!

Difficulty taking pictures of this CAC.
akroorka replied to Wolf's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Natural Sun-Light is alway the best Wolf. I have a feeling that this is the one that I always wanted to hold in hand. A very rare CAC in some of the best color combo that I have ever seen and not held. Get your images together down south and give us a few great images! Marble--On!! -
Awww--Steph, Such a cute image and cool to see you posting again. Yep--I kept this image for Christmas cards next year---Yep I did—keep coming back—we all love you here, always have---always will. You are the rock behind us all. Marble—On!!

You go!!! My marble collecting friend. Keep them sorted and have a way to sort them--whatever works is cool. I love it! Marble--On!!

Ok Chad, Here we go-- They are both Master Made Marbles imho. Not Master Glass. I do not see anything but Master Made Glass. These two are intense with the base colors as well as the the very fine, deep, white included. Always look at the white and take your eyes away from the colored part. The white in marbles often tells the tale. Marble--On!!

WELLLLLL---- I am not pissed--. The box is og imho--just rare to find. A great job by a great seller. Marble--On!!

These boxes generally have simple white/colored--Rainbos involved in a box of 100. This one is just--well--pretty special. Marble--On!!

We all learn everyday here. You just keep coming back and we all will continue to learn--together. Marble--On!!

Well, compared to a CAC multied fingered Flame--not too exiting---- To me-- this is a very cool find. These Master Made Marbles-with the hard finish--just get me rocking. I just love em. Great share and ask as well. Marble--On!!

This is not funny to me, we are who we are here @TheMarbleConnection. I let this stuff ride for quite awhile before stepping in. Yours is a very nice --large sized "Jabo Classic" (a marble made for production and general sales) that shows no damage--pretty rare imho. These big ones generally show up with little white "Hit Marks"--just from packaging and shipping. They are quite soft in the world of glass marbles and prone to damage. As far as showing one like it--good luck is all that I can say--these came in a multitude of color combos--most suck--yours is pretty cool. Respect to you--just keep it cool. We do not suck here--we just try to help to ID marbles and keep it cool-- Merry Christmas Marble--On!!

I have not seen "572" in any form---stay away is my advice--- This stuff just sucks--SUCKS!! Marble--On!!

6-7 is all that I can say--lol! Marble--On!!
