bumblebee Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Found a few sealed bags of 5 shooter bananas with green header for $9 per bag. Is it worth buying all of them? I'm not a bag man but this sale ends in a few hours so please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 If the condition is good it sounds a decent deal, but don't expect to make much on them. The list price for most of the more modern Peltier bags is around 15USD. I'd pick up one for my collection at around 9-12USD but personally wouldn't pay much more.

Steph Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Since they're shooters, that probably makes them a little less common. I don't know value. But at less than $15, that might make them attractive items for later trades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks. I just kept one and took his business card. The other bags had fewer colors in them. They were the only marbles I found today at 50+ vintage booths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 So this bag of shooters are champions? Are only regular size (5/8") found in champion jr. bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are Peltier and named "Cat's Eye Champion" but it can be confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Peltier used the "Champion" verbiage on several bags that they packaged. The Champion Jr. use is what some collectors called them way back when and it has confused identification of some basic Peltier marbles. Here are a few of the Peltier bags with "Champion" on them (besides the one shown above, which is a fair value for $9). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks, Al! I'm happy with my purchase and feel OK about leaving the rest behind for another collector to discover out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
