Here are the other two pages on the fkae marble bags flyer from the mid to late 1990's.

They just "pushed" them out in bulk like the ones you show above. There are some sketchy Mr. Peanuts bags. If they are Alley swirls, very good likelihood of being legit. If they are older MK's with a BB or CS, same answer. If they have "Play the Game, Be Fair...." on the reverse, they are most likely legit. If they have "Play the Square...", that's where you have to look at the marbles and for the seam on the bag - that's where there may be some fakes.

Agreed

Agreed

Possibility of Champion also

Yes, both the Heaton and Vitro were legit.

Those Buddy bags look good to me.

Peltier Multicolor Rainbo in upper right. Multicolor swirl in upper left and maybe bottom.

Good variety

Here's one of Dani's picture from '09.

By the way, be careful, about 90% of the marble bags that you see listed on eBay are fantasy/fake bags. Of course, they have real marbles but they are newer ones compared to the purported dates that they say the bags were made.

One of my comics

That's a machine made "Fiesta" marble made by Vacor in Mexico and marketed in the US under the Mega Marbles brand.

Reminds me of marblealan's parrots.

You can check the "poles" or "ends" and see if you can see initials engraved into the marble. That can help determine which individual contemporary maker made it. Also, what size is it?

Agreed on box being the same. I'm looking forward to George's book (and any new marble book)!

Here's a picture of one with cellophane top from Morphy's Auction (3-2013)

These are the "older" Jabo logo marbles when they were getting ready to do all of the licensing ones - package I got back in 2005.

These are some odd ones out of a Vitro Chinese Checkers Box - plain but with a hint of a pattern

Agree on Asian - there are some messed up vanes and sometimes colors in those type of marbles.

Look like slags, especially to newbies, but are Mega/Vacor.

Avatar done

So they definitely made them and did not buy them from China or some other source?

So there are 200+ marbles - average $30+ each. May not be bad if condition fits.

Great find!
