Yet I have to say,there're many nice handgathered marbles in this group,with fine nines.

 

 

I agree. That's why I was saying I'd easily pay $5 each for the nicer nines. They are sort of my way of having the old transitionals I cannot afford.

Even if new, the nicer Bulgarians are right up there with the nicest Vacor Atmospheres and will hold that position for future collectors in my opinion.

I think I'll just get a few lots of the 1500 and dump them all in a bathtub, and then I'll charge people to roll around in them

 

It could be a new spa treatment. "Our exclusive handmade old world marbles from Bulgaria will massage your muscles and stimulate blood flow while the rough pontils gently exfoliate your skin."

Bulgarians showed up.  The group is split about 50/50 between handgathered slag style and a frit style.  The frit style is further subdivided into a group that has the frit primarily on the outside and a type with it on the inside similar to a cloud in some cases.  Those are the most interesting ones in my opinion...photos to follow once the camera is charged up.

My 45 pack showed up today. Very pleased with a few killer nines. I actually requested "nines" so I think it helped me. They offset the ~15 or so too ugly to handle ones. The cobalt "guinea" was much prettier than their usual clear-based ones.

For me these are the next best thing to those expensive old transitionals I'll likely never find, so I'm pleased on all accounts.

I got mine Monday.  I made no special requests.  All my frit/cyclones are colorless base.  The mix was about 50/50.  I was hoping for enough tornado/cyclones to fill a solitaire board and I got just enough.  Many of the handgathereds were "muddy" toned, but, I got enough cool ones to make me happy. 

Trying again in album form. 

Three types of frit, My favorite 9s, and The rest:

The picture links didn't work for me -- tried to see if I could fix it from looking at the code, but alas I could not. 

I can almost see the marbles just from your description, though.

The Google service is new to me.  I think the link will work now. I don't think it was "shared" before.
