Size is 5/8

Thank you!

Wow, that’s unfortunate. Thank you!

Size is .68 Akro, MFC, or something else?

I’m on the fence on this one. Something seems off 🤔 I have a CAC similar to this one, but I agree this one looks runny in some places. The bottom of the ribbon in last pic is shakey and inconsistent with CAC. I agree it looks like this one could be a torchy.

Pelts can get pretty bubbly. Common x2

X2 Alley Superman

That’s one pretty jabo

Looks like my MFC’s

Not an Akro Sparkler imo but pretty interesting nonetheless. Beauty for sure 👍

Keep ‘em’ coming @Carrie Ann, these are a blast to follow!

Thank you brother Appreciate it very much! 👋

🤣🤣🤣🤣 crazy that you waited that long

Appreciate it all!

My name is Joshua. I started collecting because I wanted keepsakes for my daughters. I’ve come to love vitro’s, MFC’s, and Christensen’s. Very proud to be included with this group of collectors.

Not sure what this is but it’s gorgeous 😍

I think a lot of newer or casual hobbyists don’t know anywhere to look but eBay, so their perceived rarity is based on what’s available to them on that platform. Which stinks because I’ve seen CAC swirls that would likely only fetch $200 tops as a 9.9 mint on Block sell on eBay for $300-$400. I’ve seen quite a few German’s sell as CAC guineas on there as well. I kind of have two opinions about it. I love going through old marbles, like a jar from the goodwill, and seeing what I can find. I don’t care that they’re scratched or chipped or imperfect, I just love the hobby and seeing the different types, especially if I find one I’ve never seen and can learn something new. I also don’t mind paying top dollar for a really stunning example. But what I refuse to do is pay hundreds of dollars for a marble that’s not truly mint condition or close, and/or really really stunning. Sadly, like all things, I think the crowd of flippers have seen opportunity in marbles and the people who appreciate them, and they are using eBay to sell regular common marbles at premiums.

Start working your way through them. Make a new post, with no more than 2-3 marbles per post. Try to include multiple photos of each marble individually, and the size of each marble, which is very important for identification. You can use other people’s posts for reference. Once they’ve been identified, you can make a new post with new marbles! Good luck!
