Melissa Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 I'm just curious what everyone's favorite marbles are? Certain makers? Certain types? I've only been collecting a couple months now, but so far I know I like a lot by Jabo, Master and Vacor. I also like Germans a lot too. This is my absolutely favorite one so far, which I am told is a frosted Michaelangelo by Vacor. Show me your favorites and tell me why you like them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Nice marble that Frosted Vacor Michaelangelo, I like em too. My favorite marbles are usually Akro Agates but today I was gazing into a Peltier "Muddy". So for right now, that is my favorite--until I pick up the next one😁. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hey, I just got some more today-- I do not expect that you thought that you would see these marbles on a vintage marble experience like The Marble Connection, the oldest marble board in existence. Why Not? Collect what you like. Like what you collect. They are marbles and they have a provenance. I just fell in love with these little buggers from Vacor and I do collect them, especially in original packaging. I have a few more to get but that is collecting. Low end or high end—collect them if they make you happy. These make me happy! Marble—On!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan, your group shots are always something to behold - stunning is a good description. And the marbles are always so minty. Are those all big Claudia's on the back of your Akro group shot? Just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
