Fire1981 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Tiny ? Tiny is 2-3 marbles in one hand. I would say you scored a handful of marbles. Inkys are always a great addition. 🔥 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Scored some Reverse Blackies in an estate sale jar today. $25 for the jar. Not shown are a bunch more common mibs including a couple of nice Akro corks and the usual beat-up slags and a few rusty steelies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metal also seems more like tin, stamped similar to tin ceiling tiles. Google Lens returns a similar item for sale on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194906379245 The seller describes it as made of tin, in India; for what it's worth. Googling "Tin carpet ball" turned up a similar item, although slightly larger with brass included: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264996499323 Cool orb!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Chubbs Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Some impulse purchases, that I’m satisfied with. A sealed Charmander bag that is especially cool because the shown marble is Pikachu! The shown marble is always random, from the first 50 Pokémon (for series 1), so ~2% chance for Pikachu. Charmander and Pikachu were my favorite starters as a child, so this is neat to have on the shelf! Most of my Pokémon collection is in storage, maybe I’ll post a picture when I get it unpacked. Don’t plan on opening it, and I don’t plan on buying more unless I find an insanely good deal. The price for these Pokémon marbles is definitely increasing at the moment. It was tough to pay what I did for this, but I don’t want to pay double in a year… My second purchase is related, a magazine advertisement from Toy Biz for the Pokémon marbles. I particularly love the message at the bottom, “ARTWORK SUBJECT TO CHANGE”, because none of the marbles in the ad depict what was actually produced. Gonna frame this up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Tommy Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Wanted to share a gift my wife's cousin from Holland brought me this hand made marble bag with these in it . I am excited to have my first sulfide it is in excellent condition 😃. And my wife's aunt looked at the seams on the bag and said that it looks to be Victorian style stiching 🤯. Sulfide is 1.14in...👍 The big I believe is clay not as heavy as I think a stone marble would be. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great gift, Tommy! When you say "with these in it", you aren't referring to all of the American marbles in the pic too, or are you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
