Reminding one's self how little you know.

About 300 odd patches arrived last night from an ebay auction. About half are Conquerors or one type or another (more than I'd hoped for but I'd guessed from the photos there were a fair few), but that still leaves over a hundred marbles to identify and as I pulled out random ones I was struck by how few I could immediately identify. I've got a busy Christmas!

Good times

ooooh ... mystery patches .... good challenge!  

Happy Christmas.

And that is why I don't collect patches any more.  I like them but get frustrated on who made.  I still have a few groups to sell - maybe after first of the year on eBay?

I'm not sure I can get much more frustrated with patches than I do with swirls 

I don't think there's going to be anything that special in there - It looks like a typical bulk lot - moderately common stuff, padded out with lots of Conquerors and seeded with a handful of nicer marbles to catch buyers eyes. From my point of view the moderately common stuff is hard to find in the UK, and with the ridiculous cost of shipping marbles to the UK - three or four marbles that I might have bought individually would  have cost me as much to post as the 300 odd did...
