Melissa Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 What marbles are the highest on your wishlist? Me personally, I would love a super colorful Indian and Joseph’s Coat. I'd like one of those cool akro AV patches too....I think they are a sparkler of some kind. And who, of course, wouldn’t want a Guinea? Maybe I’ll get lucky in an auction someday (doubtful).

akroorka Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I like Akro “Flinties”, “Bricks” of any type and Akro “Cornelians”. Not in order –just as I find them. A good brick is just a great find—educate yourself—many have been ground and polished in todays world. I am hard pressed to not buy/bid on any them when I see them, all of them. Of course if a good corkscrew passes my way-----or a Vacor Atmosphere---- Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add that to my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Posted April 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Highest on my wish list now are a nice indian and an akro egg yolk. I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact I will likely never own a (whole) guinea. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Still waiting to buy a CAC Guinea, theyre just so damned expensive. Pretty much given up hope that I'll ever find one in a jar someday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are rare---not that rare--but given the finds that you have discovered--I would not count out finding one in a jar--- in your searching pants at least. I wish you great luck!!! You are a great searcher!! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 No longer on my list. Well truth is, it was never on my list. A free gift from Nola. Nola's first buy at the Feb. Canton Ohio marbles show. The early bird got the Atmospheres. Twenty five unopened bags of Atmosphere marbles. Three marbles per bag. Lets just say between $20.00 and $30.00 per bag. All Marble shows have some good deals. Yes it cost money to travel and to and stay at a marble show. But the rewards can be worth it. If you like to find marbles at 1/2 or 1/3 or 1/4 or less of the normal, ebay or facebook prices, attend a show. Plus I have never attended one show that I did not learn something new. Many times people receive free marbles as a gift. I received two freebies at the recent Decatur IL show. I saw young boy receive free a pistol case and a Peltier Superman, a Pelter Spiderman, some Rainbos, some Vitros, etc. all nm+ or mint range, all free. Do you think he will return next year ? He was a proud boy carrying that case for three days and all through the show room on Saturday. Plus you might make some long time close friendships. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely excited about my first marble shows this fall. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
