Oop !! I just read their complete description, it's been filled (w/ what who knows) no telling how bad the damage was ?? They said it barely fluoresced because of the damage ?? Doesn't make sense to me ?? An ade marble will fluoresce just as well in pieces ?? I'm @ a loss for words on this one (definitely a HTF mib though) I wish they'd say what they mean by repurposed, i.e. polished, filled or what ??

Well, it's either polished, buffed or filled, (or a combo ??) it does have a strange "teardrop" appearance in a few of the pix ??

Akro75 Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I’ve bought quite a few marbles from this seller, I have been very pleased to say the least and the grading (as may not be typical) the mibs end up being better than the description.

Fire1981 Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 People pick apart grading systems. It sounds like good strategy to keep selling marbles if you deliver a shiner marble. Makes Marble Mail even better 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
