Jabo Superman? Superman Extraordinaire? 2003?

I have a 3/4" marble with stunning colors and pattern.  Closest I can match it with is the Jabo 2003 Superman pictured on Santa's Bling or Superman Extraordinaire for sale on eBay at the moment.  Not really sure.  Thoughts anyone?  How do I ID Superman run from another?  Were there many of these with the vibrant blue?

Yes it is a 2003 JABO Superman.

Dave just recently made some more super sweet similar supermanish marbles.

You know what, I might take my original ID back.  It is from the 2003 "Superman Run," but your marble doesn't have any of the reddish color in it at all.  The Extraordinaires have brown along with the Superman colors.  A Superman has just Superman colors in it.  That would make your's technically an Indian Blanket (I think)...need to go refresh my memory.

I guess since your's doesn't have orange it it, it would technically be unnamed, however, it is very recognizable as from the 2003 JABO 3/4" now known as Superman Run.  They are a celebrated and sought after group of marbles.

To answer your original questions, there were also the Mountaineers in that run that had that great blue.  One has to become familiar/acquainted with the different runs to recognize the differences among the various superman colored marbles Dave and company have made.  If you handle a bunch of them repeatedly you can recognize the diferences.  Pretty much true of all marbles.
