That one is 4.9550. I forgot to mention. Occasionally , you’ll get a batch that has some glowers!!!!! of course, when that happens, someone always has to show up to steal the spot light! thanks for asking about these! I was SHOCKED to find this one!!!

Not too sure if I did a good job, got the best angle, or anything like that. Let me know if you need more.

Well, I found em. I had more than I thought! Pics incoming. PLEASE let me know if you need better light/pics/etc!!! this appears to be some sort of makers mark? Maybe a crown? Or maybe the sun rising over a hill? I don’t know. It’s weird and I’ve never seen it. well, I won’t say that’s all of them because it’s certainly not. But it’s most of the varieties I have. At some point I sleep thought like four bags of 80 mini JABO’s.I’m still going through them.

It was sold to me as a “Latter Era 1/2" Wet Mint (-) Champion Agate Furnace Peewee Marble”. Looks to have a deep red base? Lots of stuff going on in the right light. I’m literally just starting my marble so everything I have might be something cool, or cheap junk I got fleeced on. 😂 Teo others I got at the same time/seller were sold as JABO neon nightfall. They were juuuuust over a half inch. If I recall, most of my tiny marbles came from him. I know I have a couple more “kittens” floating around too.

I really enjoy finding the oddities in life, and marbles. My two “kitten eyes” check in at 10.72 and 10.76 the big black one at 13.

Thanks everyone! I’ll dig them up later tonight or tomorrow for a reshoot. It depends on if my wife wakes up or sleeps all night. It’s amazing how quickly a marble collection can grow! 😂

Can we go with a few? I don’t have anything super crazy, but I got a lot of middle of the road stuff. 😂 I buy what I like, I guess. D really like help with ID on some (shady eBay dealers!) and, most of all, can anyone link me to an LED light board/something that I could see them backlit?

I just switching over from sports cards to marbles. Well, doing both I guess. Make sure what you have matches eBay sold listings. Save you. 1000 headaches. Also, feel free to ask if you need a hand. 35 years in cards…

I have so many slags. I can’t ID them. But I keep buying them. I like how they look. According to eBay sellers, every one is a Christiansen. 😂

I’m brand new. I don’t know half if what I have. Not wear it came from. Do I have to look at this marble later? Or is mine completely different at some horribly obvious and fundamental way?

Thanks guys. Awesome info as always!

FANTASTIC score. I’m an eBay creeper. The late night sniper bids. 😂 I’ll keep my eyes out.

That looks super Duper extra creepy! I want one. Ha ha ha but seriously what is that thing called? It’s certainly absolutely beautiful.!

I WANT ALL THE MARBLES!!! Mostly so I can different varieties in hand. I’m like a tactile learner, it would help me greatly!!! I joined just over a week ago. Thanks for the opportunity, win or lose, it’s greatly appreciated!!

I’m with ya on the JABO and DAS kick, that’s for sure!

Whoa. That’s awesome. I read about those. Saw one posted for…. A lot…. 😆

I’ve been asked to “make an offer” (which I hate) on one of these. It’s a beauty, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t know where to start on the offer. Nothing in the inter webs to help me. DJ

Are those vintage cards legit or reprints? That 1990 Topps Thomas have a name on the front? I’d love to check it out in depth. How much are you getting? That era , unless the vintage IS vintage. Can be tough. I can see I have a lot to learn about marbles.

Wow!!! Thanks!!! Looks like things get pretty specific. Those are crazy books and I’m definitely gonna have to pick up a couple for Christmas.

Well, pretty self explanatory. It’s Christmas, and I just started. What’s a good marble ID book?

It should be in-hand this week!

Thank you. That’s the answer I was hoping for. I’m a whiz at baseball cards. Not so much here. How’s about this guy?

So, I’ve been thinking of making a purchase. Been burned so many times though. Purchasing marbles that I or a particular, my wife thought were vintage need to find shiny new marbles. What are you guys think of this batch of marbles, and then the 2 singles behind it. vintage? Collectable? Worth a couple of bucks to take the risk?

They look amazing!! I’d take a link to that auction as well. When u was a kid, I found a couple of pretty good size chunks of gneiss or schist ( I don’t know my rocks as well as I should (for Shame, for shame!) just loaded with garnet. What hardness are the rocks you’ve been using?

That’s quite possible!!! I’m trying to score some different ones today. Problem is, I don’t know enough to ensure I’m getting what’s in the listing. I’ll have to show them off here and determine what they are. Can’t trust eBay listings at all.
