clydetul62 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Galen and Craig must be going on sensory overload with all the CAC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 With all due respect to CAC superfans, I find this extremely rare green based guinea to look a lot like many a messed up Pelt rainbo I've sorted through without a second thought: http://morphyauctions.auctionflex.com/showlot.ap?co=31120&weid=31141&weiid=11256680&archive=n&keyword=marbles&lso=pricedesc&pagenum=1〈=En On the other hand there are some CACs in there I would spend unhealthy amounts of money on if I hadn't already spent that money on other things.

BuckEye Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looks like a messed up pelt mcs to me. The cac with av, is what I thought were German circus. I posted a few last month. Either way I'm rich!!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looks like a messed up pelt mcs to me. I would think Pelt as well, but Brian E. does the catalog descriptions. I had to laugh, it is listed in 9.8 condition with a big crater missing out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I would think Pelt as well, but Brian E. does the catalog descriptions. I've seen him get it wrong before. I found it shocking, but hey, I guess he's human too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast_dave Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Absolutely Peltier. Good eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdesousa Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Never seen that deep green emerald base in a pelt. Anyone have one they can post here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi Hdesousa well you have to start buying common marbles . here are just a few the pics have a lot of dust on the marbles as ther stuck in a cabinet not often went in . Or are these to light of a green ?? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I don't have pics, but I have a couple of Pelt 7-Ups that have that very same dark emerald-green base. Like Mike said, they're among the more common marbles. But lovely all the same. Technically -- according to Morphy's website -- Brian E. is not listed as one of the appraisers or subject-area specialists, but as Director of Promotions. And look at the [Peltier] bubbles in that "green guinea" base. This may be one of those instances when someone with a pretty narrow focus (CAC) tends to see what they expect, while others, knowledgeable in a larger arena, have a wider "comparison library" in their heads. In this case, their Pelt heads. But I'm pretty sure that even if I wern't a Pelt Head myself, the marble in question wouuld look like a Pelt MC swirl to me too. One I wouldn't mind having. But not at CAC prices! It'll be interesting to see how the bidding goes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Did anyone email Brian E. to get his take on that marble and why he thought it was a guinea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Good question Al. It would be nice to know. But in the meantime - I'm rich too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Marbles Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 email I got back..... There is no discount with a paypal payment. The premium is added to every lot. Hmmmm, that will add up quickly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Here is the reply I received from Brian Estepp: I had Morphys send marble to me to take another look. It is Christensen green guinea with two curved pinch lines.I am having them reshoot the photos to show the spotting of the colors that are not seen and state the as made stretched surface blowout I did not see the first time looking at it.

bumblebee Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 It will be interesting to see the new photos and whether they contain guinea spots. For now my money is on Pelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTAndrea Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 The late Les Jones once told me that rarity doesn't trump eye appeal, so even if this is a true guinea does it have that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest browse4antiques Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 My only explanation would be that they are planning on ending the bidding on this lot 18 days early. ... Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
