bumblebee Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Got marble mail today and was excited to find an NLR, since I never find them. I immediately opened my new copy of Peltier Glass Toy Marbles and turned to the two-color NLR section. I couldn't find my marble. For a brief moment I got very excited thinking I had something so rare they couldn't find a photo of one. Then I Googled and figured out it's not uber rare. Still, at almost 11/16" and NM+, it's among the 15 or so NLRs I've found in eight years of collecting. I don't see any aventurine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekim929 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 So NLR is national line rainbo right? Are they pretty rare to find ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are rarer and more desirable than the later Rainbos, but not everyone has as much trouble as I do finding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Word on the street (via another forum) is these aren't common but they aren't unusually rare, and 11/16" seems to be the common size found. Why it wasn't in the book remains a mystery. Me personally, when I read "green zebra" I see a green zebra with dark green stripes so it doesn't quite fit for me.

Steph Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 That's why I picked up my bucket of popcorn. I would have pictured a different marble to go with green zebra name, but if this is it, then this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I'm just happy to have found an NLR that isn't cratered, so I'll let the namers figure out the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
