manddrakes Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think it's worth fifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredt Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 anything stick out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Looks like there are some nice WV swirls in there, and a few Pelts, maybe that one is a NLR Zebra ? also seen some Akro's. That isn't a bad lot for 50$ id buy it myself for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 even some of the cats look interesting. might be an aventurine shooter. :-) I'd like a closer look at many of the other shooters also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I circled some that might be worth getting a closer look at. Theres just a few i think that lot is well worth 50% if there in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 There's one red and white swirl with bright white. could that be a chrissy? And is there a carnelian? each time I look at them again I see another one I might single out. maybe not a fantastic lot but it could be fun.

feelnmarbleous Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Same here Steph, i think for whats there though, it's well worth 50$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Judging by the condition of many of those, I wouldn't spend more than 15 bucks on them. Nothing more than commons really, but those can be fun to go through. Pelt Zebras can be had in mint condition all day for 10-15 bucks. But with damage....nada. 50 bucks seems like a stretch to me.

Akro gatherer Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 it all about condition, condition, condition.....please look at the marbles. if the corks and swirls have any marks then they might not be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredt Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for all the info folks ,I really appreciate it!!! I ended up getting them for A LOT less!!!! I'll be posting some soon! Once again....THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Looks like there might be a couple of the light blue Alleys with lazy white ribbons, too -- they're not rare, but they're not all that common, either - - - Another company also made some similar ones, though, but I forget which one -- Heaton? I'll check (although I'm sure someone here knows without checking!) Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I guess the die is cast and that's cool that you got a price adjustment. I see the group pretty much as an 'entry level' assortment mainly common and the kicker would, of course, be condition. Just one nick and your possibles are diminished. Still a fun group.

fredt Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Good evening all!!! The batch ended up being about a 30/70 mix (30% being kinda hit & 70% good). I got a lot of cat eyes ,that I haven't sorted yet. These were the STICKIEST marbles I have ever came across,some I could touch with my finger and they would stick to it...LOL,I had these soaking in CLR all day but they cleaned up pretty good! Here's a couple pics of the ones I got cleaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Jeez, are all those white Snakes on that board ? i thought i seen some of those, even at 50$ from what i see there is still a good deal, some people think just because there isn't mint Bricks or CAC's that there is no value, nice score ! I see more than 15$ worth of marbles there........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Good deal. Glad you went for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
