I thought Atmospheres were Machine Made

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the Vazquez-Medina brothers scoffed at me when I suggested they were hand-made. They said there was never a hand-made marble produced in Industrias Cornejo, El Aguila or Vacor De Mexico.

Thank you for watching the videos! They take an enormous amount of time to carefully edit and I always do my best to present the most accurate information. 
I will be doing an in-depth Atmosphere video at some point soon , and you can hear from them again. It’s on the list✔️ 🟢⚪️🔴

Thank you for the follow up videos.

Many more questions…

It appears that you were led astray there doesn’t it ? 
At least you have the full story now. I hope I will be forgiven.

This is not a very good response to this thread @stephenb, just be nice and do not come back like this at collectors that question you and your videos.

You have backed up what we were all talking about--just different with the hand powered machines.
The larger marble question was just never answered to my satisfaction.
The Pyramids were never really mentioned. 
The Candies that you show are just not Vacor imho.
This is not in any way considered to be an attack on you or your efforts.
Any Marble collector with your influence must be held in check at some point and I am more than willing to do so in this case.

I love your efforts and Vids as well-- Keep the skin thick.

Marble--On!!

Looks like more updated information has been shared.

The next video has additional info.

John, it would be far from the first “sole” food dinner I’ve enjoyed, but I’ll still keep my feet planted at this point pending further potential, uh, dénouements.

Mine all have dents and as-mades on them, unlike all my other Vacor marbles, so clearly something was different in the production of Atmospheres. I just assume hand-gathered and machine rounded.

Just for fun. Here’s my funky Booty Crack Atmosphere. It’s ugly but it’s mine. Oh yeah. I got a positive ID here on the Board🔥

@stephenb--his latest video on these were compared to "grubs"--love it.

I just love a good "grubby marble".

Marble--On!!

Fire that thing is killer !!💥

Thanks. I thought it was torch made until a few years ago when I got the confirmed Atmosphere ID here and the history of these. The size matched and I was stoked. I let one go and still have traders remorse. Maybe if I’m tactful and can sweeten the pot with a killer HTF marble or 2 I might be able to retrieve it🔥
