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.

Ravenswood examples dug by David Tamulevich
The Nickel Guy replied to stephenb's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
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.

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

I'm gonna guess that that "black one" is a orange patch on a transparent dark blue or dark green?

Looks like a Heaton Sweet Pa tater to me.

I slept well last night! Thank you! I found this graded card . . . since I posted LOL I collect old non sports cards. It is a 1933 Chicle R102 no 35 It's an odd series which I found quite a few of. It's not mine. You can see the holes to use the string. Shows a picture of the back on eBay. link -

I bid on 55 marble lots and only won 3 but I am glad. I was lacking these Marble King Rainbows in my collection and they may be quite common but they have a certain nostalgic value for me. These were the kind in my bag, the Vitro's too and the rest that I played with were cats eyes. I can't wait til I get my shipping bill and pay for them. I think I did OK and many of the lots I passed on went quite high. This hobby is very alive and well. Total marbles on the way soon comes to just over 800! woo hoo!
