m!b$ Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 It went awfully cheap, esp for such a large size. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=130719446968&nma=true&rt=nc&si=rfeHcdwEJoxY%252FKS8HBepIqgpxhU%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Looks real to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 That's why it's fake, the large size. Usually 5/8 unless I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hmmm ... well, to me the marble underneath looks more like a Peltier than the Marble King I generally expect to see with Repros ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 i have seen them bigger than 5/8", sold some too.lol but he's a knowledgeable collector. I don't see him selling a repro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 well the issue is the part of the image missing the A and that is enough to almost get no bids so I think it did well , the size was correct in fact not many at the 5/8 size . here are two other that have a good image , should be able to see the difference.

Speed Racer Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 My understanding was that some were only found in the 5/8 size, Tom Mix, Coat's Master Loaf, etc., while others were on 5/8's and larger PPP's. Seems tho that every year proves another theory incorrect. Nothing is carved in marble these days...as far as facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyzora Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 i have seen them bigger than 5/8", sold some too.lol but he's a knowledgeable collector. I don't see him selling a repro. The same "knowlegeable collector" sold 2 German hand mades as left twist, when they were clearly the regular right twist. A basic error like this could lead to unconfident bidding.

Marbles4Case Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 LOL, unconfident bidding??? Have you seen the marbles being sold... Have you seen the 100% feedback? Speak for yourself. Just to let you know I am the ebay seller in question, been selling marbles on the bay since 2004, and I just like anyone else make mistakes. However I have never claimed to be an expert, I only have a decade of collecting under my belt, a dozen marble shows, and a lot more to go... Was the comic a repo? NO it wasn't. Did I make up a name on a marble I didn't know what to call it? Yes I did. Is that same marble similar to a marble king bengal, just a little bit. However in my hand it isn't, it is peltier all the way. I will gladly take back any marble the customer doesn't want. I am not here to screw over anyone. Kevin. P.S. Thanks zaboo, Stan and Sandee Case say hi to you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyzora Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yes,unconfident bidding!!! I was simply answering the post that it is possible that the marble in the listing sold for less than some might expect due to inaccuracies in previous listings. I don't think anyone claims to be an expert, but from the large number of German handmades you were buying on Ebay about a decade ago, thought you would know the basics between left and right twist.

lstmmrbls Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 ziggy, might be time to give it a rest and move on. . the twist deal was a year ago. why let stuff like that keep eating a hole in your brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaboo Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 and a big howdy right back! ok, just want to interject a little food for thought here... No one, and I repeat No one knows everything about marbles. even Alan once sold an imperial as a rare master. man did we giggle over that one. ok back to work I go Hi-ho, Hi-Ho. can't wait to see everyone in Seattle! only a couple of weeks! yahoo! to 'peaches'... wish ya could make it... maybe next year!
