I’m going to go out on a limb and guess the bottom right is an alley and top right jabo. I am terrible at IDing swirls though.

Nice to meet you too. I like cats eyes too especially hybrids and cross throughs.

Closeups of the green and blue.

I’m second guessing the middle green/blue patch now. That seam is maybe not jabo?

Welcome! You have a nice collection so far. Pace yourself, as marble burn out is a real thing. I know from experience. Lol Just be patient with yourself. There is a lot to learn. I’ve only been studying these glass orbs since November and I can confidently ID only a few companies. From the pics provided, pick your favorites. Snap 3-4 angles, close up, and post for ID. The green and red in #10 would be a good start. I like that one.

Oh I get it. I think people are trying to price gouge on everything in general these days. It is ridiculous. I probably buy a lot of dumb marbles, but even in my opinion $10 for a conqueror is insane. Lol i haven’t attended a show yet because I’m pretty new at this but it looks like there is one in my area in the fall. I’m pretty excited about that.

I buy marbles based on what I like/eye appeal and not simply what is rare or valuable. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I’ve probably made a lot of purchases more experienced collectors here would laugh at, but I like them. with regard to the uv thing, could I ask for an explanation on the difference between reactive and reflective? I honestly don’t know.

This thing is almost too ugly to be akro, so I'll put it with my jabos. lol

LOL it's the ugliest akro i've ever seen.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Found this in my solid colors. Maybe an ugly cork?

Maybe one marble king top right?

Love!

I ordered this lot and it hasn’t arrived yet. The suspense is killing me on this green swirl. Any ideas? Unfortunately this was the only photo of course.

Wow. Those are incredible!!

All great ideas!

Thanks. Perhaps it's just an ordinary rainbow.

Thank you! That helps!

So, zero collection value in the majority, right? I want to keep some like the UV ones and ones that have special things going on in them as far as their pattern, but the rest can go, right? Nobody needs this many clearies and solid. lol

It seems redder and more translucent than my other pumpkin.
