bigtee0 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 its called a bidding frenzy. i've seen them at live auctions and they'll be damned if they'll let the other guy have it. real fun for the seller. Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah, but what was it that they were bidding on? Nice looking marble, that brickish one, but I'm suspicious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 it's the real deal. We have one from those digs that is a deep, almost black purple with the blue, and I wouldn't take less than 500. for it. We have bought from leo, he an honest dealer and knows his akro's. that is a super early hand gathered akro. and there was very very few of that color combo found... like only a handful. It may have turned into a bidding frenzy, but still a rare, and sought after akro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 This was the one I really liked most.... On the right I expected it would get sniped higher, but it didn't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think the marble being bid on was a CAC opaque guinea, at least thats why I was bidding, you can see the cuts, a good pic on p133 of Collecting early machine made marbles. But if its Akro, i am glad I didnt win, but it is awesome! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I LOVE MARBLES Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Craig must of seen it like i did. posted this on another board yesterday; seen that too, also thought does not look right! Not a brick, don't even think it's Akro. Looks like one of those blue/red/brown CAC striped opaques, Les was selling in the late 90's, got that electric dot thing goin on. if Dani says Akro it may be though. have to have in hand to tell.
