The Nickel Guy

Held to a light, is it transluscent? Very Nice!

This might work for ya https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/for/d/marysville-if-you-bought-marbles-at/7847454877.html

I WOW-ed this one. Can't help you with that but whatever it turns out to be it sure is a beauty.

This may also be known as Red Beard I think.

Thanks a lot . . . again!

Out of my 3700 or so Vacor made marbles, I have only one of each of these kind. I think this might be a more recent 5/8 version of a Michelangelo with a more relaxed swirl. Am I correct? and this, I think it is a fairly scarce 5/8 Arctic Bear? Thank you kindly for your thoughts. Both are pretty neat marbles in nice condition.

Never saw these powder blue and white patches and I don't know the name. They have a brownish green accent strip on one patch edge. They all showed up in one or two Hobby Lobby bags last week. I like them. Hope I can put together a set of 24 plus 1. Anyone know? Thank you!

Sorry Fire. I only have one of these. This came out of a recent assorted Hobby Lobby net bag. I'll watch for more.

Thank you Melissa. Much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Kristina and that is a beautiful group of marbles!

It is kind of neat with the flash. What is the name for this or is just something that they ended up making and put them out there? Baffled and thank you!

What ye say and thank you!

It looks more wine colored transparent in the daylight and compared to my 5/8th Mummies it just looks different. I'm stumped. Thank you!

Yeah, it was my first youtube appearance ever , I was talking with Slagmaster Rich Stremme. What a great time! I talked with everybody I bet. Nice bunch of people. Bob Block was my last conversation and then I was off for home, Thanks everyone!

I just watched that. Wow some of the marble values blew my mind. I was partial to the Green Fizz and the Berry Pink. Nice job Stephen and Bob. Keep em coming! I was there!

I was just gifted one that appears to be very much like yours. I am sitting on calling mine a Vacor Scorpion for now or maybe it's a Black Panther. I am a bit unsure myself but they look very much alike. You can see it here. It is 1 3/8" approx.

Yes x2 but it is not your every day All Red. Very cool pole.

Stopped at our nearby Hobby Lobby yesterday and didn't buy em all but most. The truck comes every Tuesday and I'm sure I'm first in line. Well they ordered extra for me. I was pretty excited but upon opening all to sort almost every clear or transparent marble was . . . well, they looked very played with. They will go in a yard sale jar cheap. I did get a lot of my favorites but even though the money wasn't that much to spend I think I just got a fair deal out of it. My opinion is that they cleaned out some bins with shovels, netted them up and threw them all over the warehouse floor. The two tags I had were 50 ct 06 FEB 2025 and 25 ct 12 MAR 2025 and both had a copper seal at the base of the nets. I never saw that before. All my previous bags had silver crimped seals. Not all that excited. Just saying, if anyone else is finding these production / distribution bags and finding the same damage thing, please drop us a line. I might go back next week but only if I see a shooter I need in a bag and I will look it over through the net. I got more SEA TURTLE shooters yesterday than you 'll see in that movie Nemo.

Those are so neat. Thanks for posting. excuse me, I have to get a paper towel and clean the drool off the keyboard.

Nice pickens !!! Those two multi multi multi colored ones are awesome. Is the one on the right a Marble King?

Marble people have been very very good to me but this was a great present from one of our members here at the NJ Marble show yesterday. Vacor Frosted Michelangelo 5/8th inch. I could not have afforded such a marble and it was an awesome surprise. It looks better than this and I think this looks great.

New Jersey Marble show on Apr 26 2025 "Booty" What a GREAT TIME! My first marble show ever. The people were awesome. I didn't go to spend money but I did spend a little. The highlight for me was the people. Marble Kings A Celtic Rainbow. 6 Cub scouts, a couple blue rainbows and a tri colored rainbow. More modern Marble Kings Jack told me the ones on the left were an experiment of some kind with making Cats Eyes and they were a real P.I.TA. to work with. Center are 4 new Supermen. The only kind I can afford. On the right are some Anemic Bumble Bees that didn't get the yellow glass yet. VAmarbles and Stephen Bahr gave me these. VA gave me this big 1 3/16th Boulder which I think is maybe a Vacor Scorpion or maybe a Black Panther. I am pretty sure he have me that green on white swirl that you see in the cello bag on the checker board lower right. He told me it's a good one but couldn't recall exactly the name of it. I'll find out in time. But the Rocks Cousteau "Day Maker" for this Mega Marble Guy ( which I may ask to change my name here to ) was the Frosted Michelangelo I think, it has blue on the other side. That was also from VA. I was blown away. They don't grow on trees. Thank you! Stephen may not have given me that crazy MK in that picture. Has a neat ribbed yellow patch. I think the other two are also from him. THUMBS up. I also got an awesome Early Goldfish Shooter as a gift from Stephen. I bought all the rest of those shooters at his table. Front and center is that green on white swirl I mentioned above along with some others I bought separately in a baggie from Adam. Adam also gave me 4 shooters. I'm telling ya. Here I think are three cool Master Marbles from that baggie. Some Pelts and some odds and ends and then I think these pee wees might be Akro and the Mama. I am starting to gather quite a few of this kind. I love those green and yellow ones, well, maybe I like them very much. and some patches, I am guessing 2 Vitro 1 Master and 1 Akro. Soon as I got in the door I met Dave T And he gave a deal on two of these nice bags of Jabo's. All my favorite Youtube movie stars were there. Mr Alley and the Marble Avenger. And almost on the way out I returned to people I got the checker board and supplies from and bought these beautiful Jabos. Finally, my shooters, I came to find a lot more than this and they were there I'm sure but I had a marble brain freeze after a couple hours. Sort of a cross between an ice cream brain freeze and temporary amnesia. Too much info to take it all in and the people were so cool, I just stopped shopping and had fun. Said hi to Bob on the way out. I said Hi to everyone.

It looks like Banana Creme Pie to me. I like it! Of course, I made that up. I like both pies.

Excited to meet these marble people I admire. I'll be there at that NJ show. It will be my first marble show ever. I have a funny feeling I am going to have a good time. I'll be wearing a busy pink and blue floral shirt with lighter blue jean shorts when the doors open. Woo Hoo! LATE EDIT: 6:30 PM Sat 4/26/25 Since I can add to this post rather than post again ( which I will with my recent "booty" in another score post ) I just wanted to give a quick and short report of my first marble show ever. Up before the birds, I drove in the fog and rain a couple hundred miles to NJ and the show was in full swing even before 9 AM. I met all of Stephen Bahr's youtube allstar cast and of course VAmarbles was there and gave me a wonderful present. He was so nice to meet in person. I am a huge fan of Stephen Bahr and his friends. Adam the co-host was so friendly, actually everyone, I mean EVERYONE was super nice. The chatter in the clubhouse was non stop and well, it was far from quiet too. I just loved this day. It was worth the grueling drive, yes it was a couple hundred miles home too. I live out in the country with the cows, NJ is a bit busier. I got me some sweet mibs. Not expensive ones but I did well and had a blast. Thank you all. The people were actually the highlight and the marbles were the almost as good as the peeps. Including the collectors. awesome! FUN FUN FUN !!!

Chad G looks like he posted a Peltier? Correct?
