The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...


Recommended Posts

I've had horrible luck finding anything in the wild for years, but today had a chance to check out 2 local antique stores I haven't been to in forever. Back in the 90' these were plentiful....now I'm just happy to see something other than cat eyes, confetti etc...and being able to cherry pick for $1 a marble...score!

Nice! That's what we did today, hit a 3 level antique mall. I actually cherry picked a handful too, also for a buck or 2 apiece, along with some Akroware and a nice slag glass owl. Good looking group there!

Thanks! I sort of gave up in my local antique stores trying to find some good ones, but today my faith has been restored..lol...! 

Like everyone says, they are tougher too find out there! I like the antique malls, as the vendors restock regularly. Doesn't hurt to get too know the owners and some of the vendors as alot of them attend estate sales too restock. I kinda put a bug in their ears and sometimes the results are good 😊

Scored in the wild, happy with anything found out there 😊

Couple of nice TriLites in the first group and I think that Whitie with gray ribbons in the second group (lower left) is less common - nice finds.

I don’t know if any of these are great scores but it was my first buy. Not sure if I paid too much or not. It’s been fun finally trying to learn about these. I have always been interested. 

so I guess it was a cool score for me!

a fair amount of UV marbles in there as well. I never knew…
