The Nickel Guy

MCS is a multi colored swirl I am guessing. I have pretty many swirls but nothing like that. Very nice.

No it's a cat, just a top pole view of how wavy the veins are.

Thanks for that info. Since that picture was taken, I have found a few more nice ones. I am due to take a new group picture. I'll try to get better pictures of my blue/green one.

Looks like caramel.

I watched again and found another video where he went to the same place and found a "Cookies and Cream" which had colors like the three above. Just thought I'd update. Thanks . The small one probably is a Jabo. I will get more exact sizes later. ( edit: I did and corrected post 1 ) I'm off to the pool.

As a kid, I would have been thrilled to get one of these 60 plus years ago. Today, even though they have no real monetary value they still bring back my earliest marble memories. and . . . I still like them. 3/4 to 1 inchers. I think a couple are better than others here but here they are. I have a hundred or two common small ones too.

I was watching Rocks Cousteau. I am a fan of his dump digging videos. He was specifically working a Marble King dump site and getting awesome cullet glass, lots of Rainbows and Cats Eyes and then he pulled a marble that he said was an "error" and maybe had a double ingot but it looked to have this color glass and looked similar in design. EDITED SIZES: So I remembered I had these three, pulled them and took a picture series. One is a little larger than 3/4. Another is probably just shy of 3/4 and the smallest is 5/8. I could measure them but maybe that is close enough for purposes here for now. These three marbles could be from three different companies for all I know, but they look very similar to me. Rocks was not getting any other marbles, only MK in this watery spot. I tried to find that video again but he has so many, it is kind of lost for now. Here's my best pictures. Thank you!

I like that, someday I hope to find one. I don't know whether it is a copperhead or not but from what I recall, maybe? Someone will validate. Neat!

So, I got all my little Lego wannabee pc's and assembled this twice. The first looked really neat but did not do well with marbles on it for pictures. These are just my least wanted mibs I had in a box and used them. So I took it all apart and put a lot of the black on the inside and kept the top all gray. I remembered that most of my best images come from a gray background. These were just a few marbles I had laying around loose.

call the shop tomorrow and they'll hold it for ya.

Most dealers will even give you a discount if you ask. I bet the box alone is worth that much. Nice find.

Verdict is in. Asian. Thank all. It is now my favorite Asian marble. LOL

I show the second picture to refer to the type of marble that my first picture could easily be mistaken for, I do not think my first image shows an asian or marble that was packaged by imperial. I think that marble I took images of and made a collage of sorts of different views of it is not exactly a newer marble, I think it is maybe Vitro. I can see some resemblance in this image from Joes Marbles site. https://marbleconnection.com/joemarbles/1Marble Picture Pages/21Vitro/Vitro 008/1 Vitro Large Pages/The Vitro Agate Company 8-38.html

This marble has a translucent area which you can probably see and has three other patches on an opaque white base. If it were not for that translucent area it could have easily been junk boxed for one of those Imperial marbles of which I have a bunch of. I would like to know what it is. I do know, for a somewhat not so exciting marble, I sure do like it a lot. Thank you!

Thanks! I feel like I enrolled in either occupational therapy or pre-school. I am keeping the gray base plate that arrived today even though I don't have a single next size up Lego block yet. (shown below with the bag of 200 smaller black blocks) I'll be keeping an eye out for them locally or maybe buy them down the road some time. A yard sale or Craigslist? These two size items are not compatible in any way but I thought they were. The description said they were but what they meant was this knock off brand was compatible with "Lego" brand pieces. A large or small marble will stay put on either size though when centered within any 4 pegs.

I put these up on my local Craigslist SOLD - - - - Mega Marbles - Vacor - Top Notch Marbles Net Bags

This is getting somewhat silly, a little funny. My blocks showed up and the base is arriving later today. After consulting a 6+ year old child Lego engineer, I find I ordered the wrong base plate. The one showing up is for BIGGER lego blocks! Oh, I can use it for sorting and pictures I suppose but I had to order 32 x 32 dot 10x10 inch base plates to work with the much smaller 200 bricks I already received. Then, I realized I needed another 200 pack of blocks so I got 200 gray blocks to add to the 200 black ones. I plan to alternate colors to make it a bit fancy. I am only going to have 8 leftover blocks with the new plan. I ordered 4 base plates since they are flimsy and I already expect they will need support. I think they will stack on top of each other so several stacked will make a strong base. The marbles have will have less elbow room but more opportunity to be placed on the steps in different places. Well, this sure turned out to be an expensive project! New revised plan. Shows the absolute most marbles I would be able to display.

I recently saw that and numerous other lots of pocket knives on hibid. I was after the marbles. Sure was a bunch of knives. Nice catch!

Thank you Melissa.

Looks kinda familiar . . . hmmm

Stephen Bahr would like it in his videos. LOL

deiti I totally agree, I was thinking just about the same thing as you. We'll have to come up with a name for them. Orioles ?

I did but the orange on all three are just about the same size as the black. All the other Black Panthers I have are very much mostly black and one small colored side is even larger than the other colored side. Maybe it's a new Black Panther and they are using the Bengal colors. I have not seen these anywhere else yet.

So I forked out $32.00 and am getting 201 pc of Lego which by my estimation will nicely display 115 marbles on a set of 5 black steps which fit on a dark gray base. I had as much fun figuring this out mathematically as I will building it. Anyway, of course I will update this with my image of the display here in the thread when this gets here and is assembled. It will be a good photo background too I hope but if black isn't a good color for pictures, I still think it will still look better than pink or orange in a display cabinet later on. I think it will show off the marbles better too. So here's the stuff I got and here's the plan. Note, I have never built a thing with Legos. Don't laugh . . . . OK you can laff Sideview
