Thanks @ann the first one has a good bit of adventurine swirled in the center.  I'll try to get a good backlit shot

Thanks for the help!

Thank you @ann

that is a gnarly mib. Pretty cool thanks for the share

I'm an idiot i'm talking about and looking at a completly different marble                 

Here's another for good measure

Nice try, close but, that's not it. This one is out of round and has a clear pontil

This marble has some of the clearest and cleanest glass i've ever come across, no idea what it is

Third one is not a Pincher I don't believe.  See below for the pinchers I have

All three are are at or around 5/8

My UV light is pretty faint but i don't seem to be getting a glow

Crap, gotta find the uv light my son stashed somewhere.

@chicagocyclistFew more shots of third one.  This thing is not easy to photograph at all

@chicagocyclist The second one is not translucent from what I can tell, i've put it up to light but, sometimes even then it's very hard to see.  I will get some sharper shots of the third marble.  Thanks for looking!

These look like Alley to me

Happy Friday Eve!  I'm guessing Alley Flame for the first Mib, Vitro for the second? and No idea on the third.  I really like the first one giving me tarantula vibes for sure

Well damn back to square one.  Wth are these then I was almost positive top one was a bacon looks just like it!

Hello,

I'm trying to confirm the red and white one below is an Alley Bacon and if the other two are Akro's?  Thanks for the help!

Block is only one person and he only does appraisals on stuff he can make a buck on. He's really only interested in the handmade stuff.  If he sells the machine stuff it's most likely because it was bundled in with the handmades.  Plus one person shouldn't be the authority, i'm just surprised a comittee hasn't formed to tried to come up with a standard.  A lot of the ebay sales are a joke.

X3. Def Alley.  Good looking ones!

I really have no clue on these two.  The blue one feels like CAC to me in my experience usually they aren't.  Also does anybody know why there isn't a authentication and grading service for Marbles like they have for baseball cards?  I know identifying is a mixed bag but, there has to be some official standard.
