schmoozer Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 The Carnival is going to Dani Kirk for auction on her FB private site. 3.8K members, so it should be interesting. I have a personal firewall: when people bring me marbles to help identify, I will not make an offer to buy. This way they know I am being honest and aboveboard.

The one that you want is not worth it. it has some folds as far as I can seen--not mint but maybe mint with folds if that is a thing?

cheese Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I'd pass at 500. I agree, the Carnival isn't ideal condition-wise. I might pay 300 for the whole jar but I'm a little picky these days. There are some nice marbles in there and pieced out one at a time, they could get 500 but that takes time and time is money, and you don't buy a jar of marbles for individual retail under normal circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pocket wear, chips, or fractures that I can see. I don’t participate in the “grading game”, I’ve never bought a marble based on grade. We’ll see how Dani grades it. 99.9% of my mibs are found in the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
