The Nickel Guy Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Could these possibly be comets or meteors with such a large base of opaque white and a window of what looks like your sunburst pattern? I do think again, I have some older Master Marbles. My score today is starting to look a bit like Noah's Ark with two of everything. Images are tweaked to show the interior details. Otherwise these would look pretty much black on white. I thinkl I remember Stephen Bahr or Ron mentioning crimp marks on these. See that odd color at the seam of the marble on the right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Nice mibs . . . If you look at the right marble in pics 1 and 3, you can see that there is a red strand running from pole to pole deep in the transparent patch. And in pics 2 and 4 you can see it surfacing at one of the seams. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 20 hours ago, The Nickel Guy said: Images are tweaked This is what I tought--show us some natural images. This is not selling on E-Bay--this is a marble ID request here at "TheMarbleConnection". Natural Sun-light is what it takes for a proper ID. Show us your best natural images--backlight them if possible--Uv is a great thing! Just do not "fix" images for an ID here. I just love this stuff--give us a great image-an original--- Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 I thought I was being helpful by working the lighting and sharpness so people could see the interior of these marbles. I don't understand? I spent most of my afternoon and evening trying to present images that people could decipher for ID's. There was no deception, I came right out and said I "tweaked" the images for lack of better word. I also would never enhance images to sell something on eBay. But wait, I don't sell on eBay. I am somewhat insulted. If I can't provide a natural daylight picture, I won't be posting any more. Sorry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 @The Nickel Guy I think you took Art the wrong way. I can guarantee he was not accusing you of deception. He was just letting you know that "tweaked" photos can often make it more difficult to accurately ID a marble. So many of these crazy marbles are so similar to one another that an "unnatural" photo can send us down the wrong path. In fact, I often tell people to be sure their photos actually look like the marble in-hand before they post them. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 It’s tough when you can’t capture a certain color or trait. Some marbles are really hard to get good pics of. One of the “rule or good idea is to always back light your marbles. Every now and then the activity in the matrix can produce an ID🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
