Da Roberto Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I agree, marbles can be subjective and for this reason I have also polished clearies As for the op, I would polish a bag full of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhomer2172 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I gotta agree about the polishing, coulda bought mint one for that! Clearies? How about Japanese cats? Some times addiction fogs the thought process!! jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 This could be a great new thread if anyone is willing. My wife was bamboozeled years ago by a polisher at a show who misrepresented what he sold, I passed him up but my wife purchased some presents for me while I was looking elsewhere. I will never forget my response to her present---oops---really—oops!!! The good advice is if you do not know marbles---stay away and buy a nice tool for the old man or lady—lol. I have no use for polished machine made marbles but I know that many do. I used to throw them out but I still have a few---in a box—just waiting to inform the masses. Each to their own. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 YOU DID WHAT ? "Throw them out" 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Yep!!! I hate them with a passion--just me and what I think in my collecting mind. Collect what you like, toss what you hate---it could be related to the bad experience with my wife--kind of like an in-grown toe nail, once you have them you avoid them at all costs. I have since researched polished machine made marbles with a passion, I just hate them and am always on the lookout for them—I just hate them!!---Really! I judge no one--give me a break here😁. Peace, collect what you like and of course---always--- Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common practice used on the old Topps borders as the machines didn't cut the sheets "perfectly" back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameswymer Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Also used to "sharpen" corners artificially. I can understand the practice you speak of more. I mostly hate when trimming is used to deceive. Same with marbles some polish to deceive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly hate when trimming is used to deceive. Same with marbles some polish to deceive. I guess the way I meant too say that was how the machines in production cut the individual cards from the sheets, resulting in some being "off center". But you know what I meant 😊. I just felt better about being a little more clear about when and where the miscuts originally took place. I have my share of off center Topps baseball and football cards and love em. I kinda remember when these doctored cards started appearing. Trained eyes could spot them after a close examination. Actually, unless I personally knew the source, I don't think I would buy a card pre-1990 unless it was officially checked out and graded by an established grading service.

jhomer2172 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I can see, if you have a polisher, treating whatever marble you want to polish. However, paying someone else to polish a $2 marble seems a little wasteful and foolish. But whatever turns you on, it’s your money! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Opinions vary. That is very true. And opinions, as always, are welcome in public forums. But, "humble opinions" should be respectful opinions. Too, in a round about way, insinuate that an individual is "foolish", or a "fool"; isn't cool, "IMHO"......
