Fire1981 Posted Monday at 05:32 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:32 AM 100% Akro glass and color combo. Lashes in pic 3 are a dead give away. I would need to see a CAC with Lashes to make me change my mind on this one IMHO🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said this "An Akro is a Corkscrew or lazy Corkscrew. This CAC has two seperated swirls that aren't connected to each other." "Referring to the first marble." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted Monday at 02:35 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:35 PM The 0.80" size also makes it extremely unlikely to be CAC. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way it may hopefully prevent it from happening to anyone else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta be very careful when buying online because there is a lot of seller out there not willing to invest the time into learning what they are selling. Then you have the ones who knowingly list with false identifications to maximize their potential profit. Hopefully it backfires for them within the long run and they end up losing big business. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonehenge4242 Posted Monday at 06:29 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:29 PM If I ever have any doubts about a high end marble i will take pics of listing and post on the marble forums available, just for second opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just might find yourself wanting to keep it. I'd try to get the seller to refund you partially if you do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Block said it's 50/50 because the patterns are CAC and the colors are Akro. He said it's got to be studied in hand. These two pictures exhibit folds and there's somewhat of a Turkey neck in other pictures. It is odd to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see racetracks and it's mint. Still a rare Marble. He just emailed me about returning it if I'm not satisfied. "That's fine, I have a 14 day return policy. As I stated, when they look close. You have to go the pattern. A completely separated pattern is a CAC while a complete corkscrew no matter how wonky, Is an Akro and this one is not a double Ingot." Robert Block from Block Auctions, did say the patterns were CAC. "The color is not quite right for CAC, the color looks more Akro. However, the Pat pattern looks CAC. So I could see why there would be confusion. I cannot assess what it is from an image sorry." The mystery grows.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This marble is not mint. I see several chips and scratches. When I first started collecting a fellow collector told me "Only buy mint marbles! ". There was a time on eBay when you could buy a group of marbles, say 100 marbles and in that group, there might be 10 nice mint range marbles, if you were lucky. Those days are gone sadly but I'm still looking. Keyword looking, all you have is the picture and somebody's opinion of moonlight. No matter what the ID "MIGHT" be, if it's beat up, I steer clear. 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
