Bumping for more opinions.

So all but the top left you see Akro?

Thank you!

😂

Sorry. Didnt mean to moon you!

Verdict is in. I believe this is definitely a jabo. Cool one though!

@wvronswow. Thank you for sharing those pictures. It looks like a ton of fun!

I would love to dig marbles someday. That would be amazing.

Here is a view showing the (very weak) orange.

I came across this on eBay this morning. It’s not an alley Superman is it? There is a little bit of orange in mine but not much.

No. Was it on eBay?

The seam on the top right is messed up.

9/16”

It does not glow.

My only goal is to own every Akro on the planet. Not an addiction. A mission.

That is so nice. I have met quite a few very kind and generous marblers like yourself. It’s heartwarming.

Thank you! This all makes perfect sense and I appreciate your input here.

@Fire1981 ah, now it makes sense. I was seriously wondering why the heck people would dig glass. I collect various other things but this hobby seems to attract more for profit only “collectors”. Maybe I’m imagining things. I guess I don’t understand the point of collecting if you’re just going to sell everything. Not judging. I just don’t get it.

I’m sorry if these are dumb questions but I’ve been meaning to ask. 1. What are dug marbles and why are they dug as opposed to being found in stores? 2. Are there people that just sell for profit and not actually collect? I see a lot of sellers on Facebook and wonder how they could part with some of what they sell. I recently acquired a couple rarities and haven’t given a single thought to making money on it. I’ve been curious about that. 3. When marbles were actually played back in the days, were certain ones more treasured than others? For instance, was a Superman more cherished/valued than a pelt rainbo? thank you!

Ooooh. Do you have one of those Akro sparklers with av? 😬

Oooh. I don’t have alox yet.

I just love that one!!

You’re welcome. This is fun.
