  1. Here is an image of a "jobber box" full of Akro Milkies. The white is very opaque and backlighting just shows more white. None of these even comes close to the color that you show in your backilt image. Hope this helps. Marble--On!!
  2. You will get it sooner or later, it is nothing to fret about. We have all been there and done that. Not all marbles can be Identified--plain and simple. I appreciate your tenacity for sure. Marble--On!!
  3. It is Pretty for sure! It is a contemporary marble imho, Check for any marks from the maker, usually just an initial. Marble--On!!
  4. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/28270-it-is-the-time-of-the-year-to-give-and-i-give-you-flinties-my-best-research/#comment-245653 This is my best Mellisa. Marble--On!!
  5. I am with Carowill and will go further--I do not see any CAC here--just my opinion. Nice WVS marbles! Marble--On!!
  6. This is the thing here, In my experience Akro "Milkies" do not glow and I have not seen many Heatons with a glow to them with oxblood involved. If this was a marble in my stable, I would lean towards Heaton over Akro. This is a cool marble--very cool and I agree with the oxblood ID's. All opinions are appreciated and this one needs some more. Marble--On!!
  7. This is my intention as well. No sweat--let’s get it on with some more of what you have to share and put this behind all of us. Marble--On!!
  8. Only if the stickers come off in a reasonable fashion. Marble--On!! post the link!
  9. UV always makes Pelts more desirable but a herd is a great thing. They are all called Zebras. Some are called Zebras with AV. Marble--On!!
  10. Show your EBay link, as far as I know, it is allowed. Marble--On!!
  11. The blue and white is an Akro imho--the other still has me puzzled. I have seen PPP in this color combo--rare imho--this one just does not line up. More opinions are needed and are always welcomed. Marble--On!!
  12. All four are Pelts--nice find! Marble--On!!
  13. Left to right--imho--Akro--??--PPP-PPP. Check the third from the left for any AV. Marble--On!!
  14. Nice group--all Zebras for sure. I have Fires back here and he is telling you to check for AV or aventurine which are little mettalic sparkles in the black. Marble--On!!
  15. Selling them will be a full time job--for sure. Hire an expert and eat the 30% imho. Now---if you intend on becoming a collector, you are in the right place. The more you look, the more mesmerizing these little orbs become. If you have been overcome by the beauty and decide to keep a few, post three or four at a time for a positive ID. We here do not try to discourage sellers or disregard them but you have quite a few and it looks like you are trying to get top dollar. This place, “The Marble Connection” has been around longer than you can imagine, the very first marble chat board on the web and still going very strong. Marble—On!!
  16. Wow Ric! If that is a Pink Bennie, I would put it under a dome for my wife and call it quits. (she just loves bennies) Marble--On!!
  17. A red hair counts with peewee marbles. Not a peewee! Marble--On!!
  18. I agree--nice call Steph! I agree Carowill--nice eyes! I am not so sure about the "Milky" ID though--it may be an Alley. The rest are WVS imho. More opinions are needed of course. Marble--On!!
  19. Rainbo-I agree--but a nice one! Marble--On!!
  20. Yes, Just Akro Flinties imho. (this type may have been marketed under different names by Akro) I have backlit thousands of solid marbles (almost ever one that I have) just looking for Flinties. Marble--On!!
  21. Surprise--- Surprise, These types were the very first purchase of marbles that I ever made, after buying my first marble book. Years ago and lessons ago for sure (I thought that they may be CAC Guineas’--lol). Soooo--- the first marbles that I ever put money down on were Vacors. I am guessing late 80’s, when times were tuff and money was short. They were in a dusty old barn building and they were covered in detritus. I did not pay much but the education started with these. It took me quite awhile to find out anything about Vacor Marbles, so here we are, in a new age. Marble—On!!
  22. Thanks and welcome back for sure. Marble--On!!
  23. I am pretty sure that the last one is a Jabo--not a contract marble--one from production. The other two need more opinions. Marble--On!!
  24. This link may help. https://biblefreak.org/Marbles/jabo-gallery/ Marble--On!!
