Berryb Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 OK Chad and Roberto, here's a challenge: of all the gorgeous marbles you guys have posted, Pick your coolest 10. I wonder if they would be the same ones I would pick. I said in the OP that the last 10 were the toughest, and I don't have near as many beautiful mibs to choose from.

Bruce I don't know Bruce, a hard question, I will just state that my favorites are Peltier & Alley in that order, then everything else. I like all marbles, many I have aren't worth $1.00 or $2.00 but still hold great value to me as one I got from a good friend that passed and several others as gifts. My most preciouse marble I wouldn't sell for anything I got from my Mom when I was 10. You can barely tell what it is she played it so much, an aqua slag, I think it's a pelt but I'm no absolutely sure. Not worth a plug nickel to anyone else, priceless to me. I just collect what appeals to my eye, evidently marble collectors all seem to have similar vision. Chad G. Here's a pic of my most prized marble I got from my Mom when I was 10.

Da Roberto Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Yes, a tough question Bruce. I love furnaces, swirl out of mind! Then, there are some euro wirepull, very busy that I never get tired of looking at them, to which I am very attached to them, as they remind me particularly of my childhood. In the game we admired them as if they. Kind of like Chad mentioned. There is the marble that I posted after the guinea, which is wonderful, but I don't know if this is better than that .... I really can't choose therefore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I am one of many who used to refer to some slags as Striped Transparents just because of the pattern on the CAC and German marbles, not taking into account the additional color requirements. Someone corrected me and then I took the time to verify the definition and now try to use the correct terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I did the same here Dink till someone corrected me I was null to the fact there was a difference. I even made a post on that very thing in "marble I.D.'s" under the thread heading of "CAC's." please if you have anything to add I'm game, I don't collect CAC myself and any info you have would be of interest to me !!
