Fire1981 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Fact or fiction I’m not sure. Story goes an employee at the factory drove a blue Galaxy with a black hardtop to work. When these marbles rolled off the rollers the workers named this marble after his car.🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Fiction: I'm pretty sure these marbles were made before 1958 when the Ford Galaxie was first produced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 I kind of thought the story was bunk.It's hard to imagine getting one of these for less than $400-$500 unless it had a blow hole in the AV. It's definitely my Lifer Dream Pelt🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely my Lifer Dream Pelt🔥 RAR Funny story. I had it in hand and was going to pay $800 for it. Put it down for a minute and somebody bought it when I put it down. It sold for @$600 on Blocks so I felt kind of better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 Yikes! I think my calculations are way off. I’m trying to wrap my head around that one. But….I do realize there are more higher levels of collecting marbles that are way beyond my marble money budget. And here I thought buying a Berry Pink for $125 was over the top🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it in hand for $600 That explains it - it's pretty beat and it's not a very good example. In mint condition, I'd say you're looking at $1200-$1500 for that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least here in Virginia, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
