Fire1981 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 It’s a polished Dragon. Someone wanted to save it. Outstanding pattern 🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 This is one of the best that I have seen. I agree on the colors--the red is like a coral color--very bright--very nice! This one has been polished though, it is not the original finish from the manufacturer. Notice the little blow holes with the sharp edges. The polisher did clean it quite well but one image still shows a hint of polishing compound--the white stuff. Pelts do come with blow holes but generally there would be at least one with a smoother edge. This knocks the value down quite a bit on a very nice marble. Thanks for sharing it!

Fire1981 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 If you zoom in on the molten pin pricks you can see the sharp edge of the prick🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 For some reason I do not blame the dude/dudess for polishing this one and I just hate a polished machine made. If it is represented as such!!!! I just love -em. Just quit trying to rip us off with your polishing--you polishers.. Marble--On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 It’s definitely a fine line when it comes to polishing or buffing. I was able to win cheap handmade marbles in the early EBay days. I had about 12 or so polished. One of the reasons was to see and learn the core types. These were in such bad shape a glass of water would hardly help. I’ll post pics. I think someone did just post some examples in Sundays Best. Hand mades can with stand an aggressive polishing. However. Machine mades are the opposite. A light buff is the best. A polished machine made can be ruined in a matter of minutes. The OP was just on the edge of this happening. If it went any further the seam in pic 1 would have been lost and the light feathering at the end of the ribbons would have been lost🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
