Crystalwest Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Do these look like flames? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvvaRae Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 I know flames are currently determined by 5 tips (edited per chads comment below) .. I'm sure others will comment and be able to better identify what they see either or way super cool marbles 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 They all look like flames except the last one IMO. The old definition was 3 then 4 now it's @ least 5 visible tips on one side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 I don't know how the definition evolves but I think if it looks like fire or flame pattern like the side of a 57 chevy with a flaming paint job, then it's a flame. Might be 4 or 24. Photo number 4 shows more pattern than the others but it's not a flame, because it doesn't have the licking tapered tips that look like flames. Tapering ribbons flowing along with each other: I don't really see 5 good tips on this one, but it sure looks like flames to me and is one in my book 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhomer2172 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I would count both positive and negative flames. However, the main difference seems to be whether it is a CAC or not. Huge price difference and getting larger all the time. Check out the ones being shown now at a famous marble guys online auction! They are going for what a guinea was selling for just a few years ago!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
