LevvyPoole Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Won't bother taking more detailed shots unless someone thinks any are of interest. Not really keen on these but just spent an hour down the confetti rabbit hole. Anything stand out, or just crud? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rabbit hole it is my marble collecting friend. They are "Confettis" and the amount of special work that went into them is a puzzle to me.

The Nickel Guy Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 A few times I showed marbles to a non collector person and they seem to point them out. usually the girls or kids will like them. The last time it happened I was in line at Hobby Lobby and a lady said "Ooooh . . . that's a pretty one". Coincidently, I just assembled 5 sacks of 37 players an hour ago and those were what Mega Marbles is currently calling "Confetti". However they are actually very iridescent 6 vein marbles. The frit covered ones were what I always thought were Confetti's. I make up sets of these but they don't do much for me. I get the frits in Mega Marble assorted bags along with boring solid color opaques and clearies and making up 24 + 1 shooter sets seems to be the only way to deal with them. Everybody is allowed to like whatever they like, so I see nothing wrong with them. Actually I find some that are a bit outrageous and I put them aside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still confettis and without any provenance--worthless. Just my humble opinion--lol. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LevvyPoole Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 Well thankfully they didn't last long - showed these (and about 20 more) to my 5 year old this morning and he shouted "cake marbles" and claimed them all, big brother then jealous, so I've promised him the next lot 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
