The Nickel Guy

I have been finding some odd Mega Marbles in the asst bags too. Great finds Joe2 !

Here are a group of home-made tags. I will be making use of them with the recycled asst net bags. I re-use them when assembling these 24 + 1 sets.

Welcome! Have a great time here.

I am sure I have some of the basic white base Ravenwood swirls but I know I have no Blue Green or Red Ravens. :-( I saw the video when it was only 8 hours old the other day. Was going to post it but figured somebody would or might have already done so. I have watched your videos so many times, I'm getting to a memorization level. Thanks so much Stephen. So professional. I've learned so much. Best source for learning.. Please keep them coming. I also get a kick out of the background music.It is fun and funny too sometimes. It's all good. I am responsible for a lot of the "hits" or views I guess.

Those are two great pieces of art. Both look to be from the 50's.

Diagnosis: Mega Obsession Disorder My collection continues to grow. I am assembling my own sets, reusing net bags and making up my own tags. I am at about a dozen short of 3000 Mega Marbles. All sorted alphabetically and on a spreadsheet. Top case has either 24 plus a shooter or needs a shooter. On the floor are generally sorted, less than 24 count lots and shooters. Some might not care for these Mexican marbles but I assure you, there are some truly beautiful ones to be had, even some common modern issues can be very nice. I have found numerous odd hybrids and off the wall color combos that I have seen nowhere else yet. Where I can't find a label, I have made up my own. If only I could find a trading partner.

Iz naht ahh toooo mah

Well, I hope you keep coming back. This might be about people just as much as it might be about marbles around here. I like ya!

Thank you so much for the clarification! My three are just the same cobalt with white patches in the 5/8th range. No muddy area inside the white on mine either which looks like another one of the requirements. When mine grows up it wants to be just like Fire's.

Ohhhhh Has to be large huh. I think mine are 5/8th inch. Look very much like that but size matters i this case. Thank you kindly VaMarbles.

In my recent purchase of a few hundred Vitros, three had deep cobalt blue transparent base glass with a white patch. Maybe that is just what it is. However, I wonder what the criteria is for a Blue Devil. I am thinking there is some tan or brown in the mix of the white. Like it is a little muddy that makes it one? Please post one if it rolls by. Thanks

Looks like a lotta fun. I'm in PA too! Glad you are here.

My Marble King and Vitto collection now. A Happy Marble Kingdom. A vacation in Vitro Land Oh well . . . back to the Mega Marbles.

and the Vitro

I had it full a couple times sorting today. I left some oddballs on it for this picture. I made it through my new "Score" of Marble Kings this afternoon. They are in great condition. Now for the Vitros!
