Thank you so much!

Thank you for the explanation.

Thank you!

Jabos have seams sometimes?

Thank you!

Great question. I’m confused on this topic as well.

1, 2 and 3 marble king and 4 a master? Maybe??

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!
