BuckEye Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hello everyone, As I do not collect Akro, I am not sure if these are rare or not. They are transparent cobalt blue based and back light nicely. they are the exact color of my cobalt guineas. Really quite striking. Two have yellow/baby blue and the other has yellow/brown swirled in a cork over top in a onyx? " snake?"type construction. The other is also like a snake as in it has a transparent green base glass with a lime green cork and orange inlaid overtop the base glass. I have never seen either of these. Has anyone else? and what are their names I should refer to them as. Rare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookie Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 WOULDNT THEY BE CONSIDERED HYBRED POPEYES??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 WOULDNT THEY BE CONSIDERED HYBRED POPEYES??? nope, a hybrid is a color that is not a blend or bleed thats introduce into the marble,, a popeye is defined by two colors (not white) in a clear base and has whispy(stringy) white,,, hope that helps,,, bj btw- that cork is da bomb, nice looking mib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Good to see nice combinations like those, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have just never seen a transparent base like that, Those akro yellow/blue opaques are pretty common. Any idea on the rarity of these? Thanks again for the opinions and info! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 ide say extremly scarce, ive been looking for a replacement to the chipped one i have for a very long time, yours has the gray mine dont ,,, and if there was a catagory for blue based popeye that mib would fit in that catagory, i could never convince anyone it is though, lolol,, bj i wished i had a bucket full of them, they are the coolest corks ive seen heres my beat one, no gray like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 A picture of a blue base out in the sun today (nice and sunny here). then a green based cork too if it helps? These are the only ones I've seen along those lines "> "> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 So, I am thinking that these are hard to find. which is odd because there were 4 in the lot I got them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 thats how i find any mib in the wild usually in groups but more often in singles, sometimes you get lucky and find a rarity, sounds like you made out like a bandit, jeepers, im seriously jealous friend,,,, if you run across some more your probably pretty close to the box set they came in if thats how they were distributed,, at any rate great find,,bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 The guy I bought them from has another bag for me, As soon as he finds them, he told me two weeks.........It seems like an eternity. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
