That was where we stayed as well. Work has pretty well fried my brain. I have done energy audits on over 400 million SF of commercial properties nationwide since then. My collecting is the only thing that can clear my thoughts and relieve my stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember someone’s girlfriend stole an expensive marble (MK watermelon?) and tried to sell it 3 booths down. The buyer recognized it and she got busted… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I sold Jr. a big overstuffed 4-color St. Mary's Cat's Eye at that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Some simple corks. Found out the yellow corks at HTF on the thread about hybrids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I looked at all my white based corks with the yellow corking strand & they each had some amount of clear in the white base, most so little you can't see it unless you backlight the mib and roll it around. Drat !! Foiled again, I thought for sure I had this one in the bag "NOT" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 13 hours ago, akroorka said: These frames fold open and almost have what I would call a vacuum bag effect. The two sides stretch to fit what is inside and once you fold whatever you want to inside of the two sides, it kind-of clamps them into suspension. Very cool and not too expensive. Made for jewelry or special badges I suspect. I have not overloaded these with marbles but as you can see they hold them quite nicely. I press my luck but I have my limits--lol. Marble--On!!! Thank you so much! I think I might have to try one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the likelihood that these two marbles were made during different runs is low enough that you'd be comfortable calling them "same run" marbles? Very nice indeed. I think that several could be from "the same run" Marble--On!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would not budge a dollar--- at the end of the show. I have seen one more since and it is in my collection. A really top notch Akro Patch. Aventurine and Akro---Not a common phrase.

akroorka Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 That’s an odd looking Cleary I thought to myself while doing some sorting the other day. Well it’s a corkscrew completely buried in the glass. There is a cool “ghost cork” on the surface, made of the base glass, which covers the opaque buried cork all the way around. The cutoff marks with lashes are three times wider than the “ghost cork” and the opaque cork that is buried. Beat up a bit but still very cool. Injected Corkscrew? Marble—On and Corkscrew on for sure!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
