The Nickel Guy Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Just an observation and report for those who care to know. It is quite obvious when holding one Top Notch bag in one hand and a Mega Marble in the other. However, on the internet, pictures do not tell. I have about a dozen of these Top Notch net bags and thought I'd see what size they really are. I picked out a random set of Bee Cool, the Mexican version of Bumblebee. So the Glasfirma Top Notch Net Bags contain smaller marbles every time. 2 1/2" pee wee's 17 17/32" size marbles 5 9/16" and a 7/8" shooter The Mega Marble US Angelfish net bag had these sizes. Yes, sizes do vary. These look to be the same as the current Van Gogh named marbles. 3 19/32" 20 5/8" size marbles 1 21/32" and a 15/16" shooter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your passion and the work/investigation that you have done. I have no doubt that Vacor would make custom sizes for the folks/companies that requested it. I always appreciate comments other than mine and respect them all. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the total weight for each marble set? What is the retail price for each set in USD? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 Thanks all ! All the Round tag Glasfirma Top Notch mibs are smaller. Way smaller. They still have just as good a quality detail and design though which is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Pretty weird really, Glasfirma is a conglomerate which includes Vacor--last I checked anyhow. So we are getting less for more--like potato chips. They use the same sized bag and put a few less inside. ( I know this because my wife is a chip freak--shes calls them ( God's food). Marble--On!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
