Is this legit? Or is it just a box with 16 supermen in it? One divider doesn't look the same.

Jobber box (maybe old) that someone filled with Superman corks....

I don't think the box is from Akro, and given the size and look of the marbles, I think there's a fair possibility they are dug.

I have some of those jobber boxes. They were sold for Peltier marbles.

[MC Marbles]

Agreed not original Akro box, maybe not an old box at all.

The inside of the box does not look old to me.

New box dug marbles, IMO. I hate to say it but old Bert should stick to the Contemporaries

I think Bert has other employes going threw his collection and selling for Bert , just my opinion. He has so many items and just what he has on the bay is

Toys & Hobbies (777) and that I think is a lot to manage . , I think there there the same as what has been dug but the truck load but they also were sold and not all dumped . Mike

Iwas going by the condition of the red glass on the marbles which appears to have the look of the dug marbles. And if it is employees maybe he needs some new ones.

You're right. I've emailed them before, and they've apologised profusely, but they continue to make pretty obvious mistakes -- although not quite as bad or as often.
