The "New marbles" in your topic made me laugh, you sound like some of the German hand-made collector's I know. To them, anything machine-made is a "new marble". 😄

😆 get off my lawn with all that new fangled machine glass!!!  I just meant they were a new submission!  I’m assuming these are, indeed, all vintage!  😆 but yes, perhaps poorly worded. Other than pic 1, this is probably a semi-solid representation of what these look like in hand. 
 

Thank you, and yea… all 5/8. 

ok. So I kind of found a system although the first pic looks real washed out compared to the second two. I know more pics would be better, but I salvaged what I could. Abd at this point, the pic taking practice is just as helpful as the id’s for me. 😆 

Pics don’t do it justice, but the number of striations and layers are wild!  Gonna have to do better when the sun returns. Trying to get good pics of the seam has been rough. 

well, Mel’s fish cold eat mine, but I feel like I do all right!

Well, hopefully these pics are just a wee bit better.  I find this one REALLY pretty  the striations just look super cn

Not sure if it’s an Akro🔥

Idk, man. It’s a little blurry for me to make a call. Maybe try taking your pics I natural sunlight, on the equinox, standing on your head, while chanting to the gods of old?  (This is how I feel every time I submit an ID. I just CAN NOT take good pics. 😆 

I know it’s a Peltier (at least I think), but I’ve NEVER seen one with these washed out colors. Measures .63. Anything special, or just off colored? (Ps… still working on getting some sunny day pics  

‘62 Yankees team ball, and my favorite football card. Ernie Davis rookie. He was from my home town. First African American to win the Heisman. Sadly, died of leukemia before ever playing in the NFL.

Master or akro is my guess. 

That’s where I’m at too. But it’s a HUGE difference between a sparkler and a sunburst. I DO see some “lashes” on the seams, which would make me lean towards Akro, but it may just be wishful thinking  

Got a few decent pics of this one I think. Def have to try in the sun tomorrow. 
 

Hopefully better pics. This is 1.2”, and has some roll marks maybe? 
 

Increase the exposure on these last two. I’m hoping it made a significant difference.
 

any of these any better?

I agree wth @Ric,

The second one appears to be an Alley Agate with oxblood.

The third one I think is a Vacor it reminds me of the "Swamp Thing Cateye" That Vacor made.

The rest of your images are too dark for me to get involved with.

You have it going here--just adjust and look before you post----

Marble--On!!

It’s weird… they’re all being taken in a light box with this row of LED’s on. It’s blindingly bright to the naked eye…. And yet……. Think I’m gonna have to experiment with o

Measures 1.2”. 

Sound feasible to me. Hopefully we get more opinions!

If the item you received doesn't match the listing, or if it arrived faulty or damaged, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns.

This is directly from EBay.  Return the items after contacting EBay if you don’t want them for a refund, as they are not as described.

Accurate. Really no such thing as no returns on eBay. Sadly, there even scams based on that fact. (Big in electronics… buy something you own but is broken.  When unbroken item arrives , open. An INAD (item not as described), then send your broken one to seller. eBay does nothing. It’s a HUGE issue)

Got a new picture box. Hoping it’s helped my pics. 
We got away with the new light box  sorry for the number  

1.  Master sunburst?

not really sure  JABO, maybe?

not a clue!! 

this is a big ol shooter

this one really interests me  look closely fr the faintest patch

Facebook and ebay are the two worst places to learn marbles. You're at the right place, the marble forums are the best (online). In person at shows is even better but we can't always do that.

You ain’t lying!  This was from what seemed to be a decent group. But once the group owner chunked out thozs ID’s? Maybe not so much 

For what is worth, I watched pretty. Cool YouTube video on cats eyes just now!  Def some cool ones exist!

Thanks for the link--I just love this banjo version of a Led Zepplin piece.

Rock on

If the banjo’s you thing, you gotta know ‘bout Billy Strings! ((BMFS, for short)

Just in case:

Thanks. Though was maybe losing my mind. I was lead to believe the green was a heaton. That’s especially dubious because they claimed It was a sweet potato. Lol

 Beautiful card and a great use for it!!! Absolutely love baseball/baseball card history
