Seams are consistent with Akro.

Possible Ravenswood but let’s see what others think.

Agree unlikely Peltier but MK a possibility.

The Alley Bacon will have either an opaque base of green or blue.

I’m thinking Ravenswood.

Sorry, “red flag”

Seller only has 78 sales with 96% positive feedbacks! That alone is a hired flag! PT Barnum said there’s one born every minute!

Very nice!

Definitely not Alley Coral and I am not seeing CAC.

Some really cool mibs😎!

Bubblicious!!

That pretty much leaves Akro by default.

Marbles are unfortunately rarely black or white. There are many shades of gray. Not like a baseball card or coin for identification. Grading is a bit like CAC marbles, where everyone thinks they have one, even when they don’t. Everyone thinks they have a mint marble, even when they don’t. There are some fairly good grading guidelines, but not everyone agrees and it seems to be subjective depending upon whether you are a buyer or seller. I understand your pain, but even if a committee was formed, I seriously doubt there would be a large majority of collectors who would embrace their decisions. When you read the threads on TMC or AAM, the experts are often very divided. I was in medicine for 45 years and there is a saying, “ there’s no always and no never in medicine.” Seems to be somewhat true with marbles.

I’ve worked with Bob Block buying for 25+ years and highly recommend him for buying and appraising marbles.

Champion IMO

Agree with Rainbo

WOW 😳! Awesome!!

Second photo looks like a Heaton “ear”

A cannon ball!

Akro IMO.

I had the same thing happen to me today.

Congratulations, Tommy!
