Hybrid?

I love the colors in this one. Super bright!

Yep.

There's a thing to note  about the word "hybrid".

 

In most marbles, it would be thought of as something unintentional.   An Akro popeye, for example is supposed to have two colors plus white in a clear base. If there's an extra color it's thought to be accidental, probably happening when one color was running out and another color was being added.   

With Vitro, these multi-color cat's eyes were done on purpose.  But still we call them hybrids.

Here's where the "All Perspective" part comes in, "Hybrids" is & always has been a highly disputed term    As I'm sure I'll get a reply to this post, never the less engagement is what we're looking for !! Just how things are finally ironed out.

Can you elaborate a little more?  what’s being disputed exactly and why? Thanks Chad! Love your posts.

Just everybody has an opinion on what qualifies as one and what doesn't. Almost like walking on eggshells, as you can see by Steph's post, always some question one way or the other. Not just cats, Popeyes and many others fall into the "Hybrid" abyss. I generally stay out of it because it's always the  same thing. Conversation is good, the only way disputes are ever settled. 

Always a question ?? I guess if all the questions were answered we'd have nothing to talk about. I'm not taking any sides here but just sayin I agree w/ & believe Steph's definition of a "Hybrid" to be completely true !!

Unintentional for one manufacture, Intentional for the other, now you see what I mean. "I" see most "definitions" as based on a general consensus, which makes sense, I guess we can all agree to disagree until the day this subject and many others reach resolution !!
