PittsburghMarbles Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Found a nice new antique store today that had a person that had just a stall of marbles. His prices were way cheaper than what can be found on eBay. He also didn’t quite know in some cases what he had as marbles were mislabeled and had way cheaper prices than what they’re actually worth. Been a long time since I found a dealer who only sells marbles. Got two really nice MFCs, an alley calligraphy, shimmering spruce, blue lady, an epic Akro egg yolk oxe, a vitro Easter, 2 nice masters, a giant Akro slag and a super nice onion skin; all mint. All of this for just 72 bucks, so I call that a win for sure. I was snooping around Ohio and was hoping to find some CACs today but no luck. Still waiting to find that Guinea, the last major collectible marble for my collection that I don’t have yet. I’m probably just going to have to give up and buy one at a marble show for an insane amount. Don’t think I’ll ever find one in a jar. Regular CACs are hard enough to find in jars, let alone a Guinea. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Nice score don’t give up on finding that Guinea in a jar ,my best finds have being found in jars looks like you got a killer Alley pistachio does it glow ? the green and black one and the blue sky looks pink ribbon on my phone is it not a blue lady and the one Master might be a tiger eye ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had jumped out at me B/C it looked like one I have. It's been over 15 years since I examined mine and well, I am at odds as to exactly what I was thinking about being hand gathered. I shot a photo of the one near same color as yours. Not a good photo at all, but it captures enough to see how much of a slag type it is. . It kind of looks, 'maybe hand gathered'. but I have my doubts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-G, no like mine there's no spiral. Looks like top row are German striped transparent, and a few are exceptions for the striping. Then, all those Bullet mold, Jezz, never seen so many I one place and they are all "Worth it" It's been many years since I watched for these, but last, I recall, Allen B (Marble Alen) Sold a group of Guina types IDK maybe 20 years ago, for like $100-200 each. No clue what today's or the last 8-9 years bring, but,,,,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessieproulx Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not so much of a huge score but a huge surprise at the store i discovered these. Hanging in a zip lock bag for all to see at a staggering cost of 3.99 Canadian. So about $2 US. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocomibs Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 A really nice swirl/slag , I'm assuming is CAC. Love this pattern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzoook6 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 got these scraggly looking beauts for $27 all described as damaged. I know that would be 27 too many dollars for some of you pros, but there are some pretty ones in there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
