bumblebee Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 I decided to make a sticky post for people to share their exciting marble scores. Such posts always inspire but they get lost over time, so let's post them here where they will remain on top. Sadly I have not had a good score in a long time, but this score from 2017 was my greatest of all time, worthy of sharing here. Please refrain from asking here whether featured marbles are for sale/trade. If the owner wants to sell, they can post in the buy/sell forum. Thanks! 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Most royals w/ av. I've ever seen at once, no wonder I can't find any !! "Great" find is the word. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw them I had no idea what they were. Figured contemporary. This score was frozen in time, two old marble bags with almost everything in mint condition. At the time it was dark and I only briefly glanced into the bags. They wanted $40 and I gave them $60, not realizing what I had until I got home. Naturally I have traded all but two of the AV Royals (totally regretting that) but managed to keep most of the nicer corks. I also traded/sold some of the Pelts (kept the Christmas tree) and once again, regretting that. I never learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 It all comes back sooner or later as a blessing in one way or another, sometimes totally unexpected like the score you got, one good wet mint av. royal is worth more than double the $60.00 you paid for the entire bag, not to mention the Pelts, man what a deal !!

I'llhavethat1 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Old pic, but these shooters always intrigued me. Still have at least one but the rest should be good in their new homes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Wow, great scores here! Been a while since I scored a big group, aside from digging or friends. One of my last ones was this lot of exotic conquerors: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 My $14 score from a random container I found last weekend. Nothing to really holler about but still liked what I got for the most part 😊 Also just wanted to chip in on the score thread 🎉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I really like these Rainbo's or all of them for that matter, any sore is a good score nowadays Finding marbles in the wild is almost a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Recent scores I think from a few weeks ago...the larger mibs are 0.65 to 0.78...plus an assortment of more pelts and swirls....getting dressed now to go back out into the wild 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm looking at some Tuesday for a girl who inherited them from her Grandmother, her Grandmother was 80 so maybe some good machine-made, first solid leed this year, hopefully will be good, I'm gonna swoop on anything mint, maybe everything to share with a friend who is a beginning collector. I'll post pics of whatever I get next week. "Nice score William" good luck out there today, stay safe in your journeys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Just happened across these that I picked up weeks ago, in a jar mixed with some swirls I "thought" I had sorted 🤣 I'll count them as a score! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I like the white-ribbon rainbos with a colored transparent base. They look nice in jar, and there's a good variety of colors too - some much harder to find than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 From a few weeks ago 20bucks . Was glad to find out it was authentic 😁 Hard to get good pics though the plastic . Looks like one of the bumblebees is purple not black .. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
