Wolf Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Labeled as "Ace Oxblood Corkscrew" which it's not. .79 mint. I'm trying to halt any new marbles until I sell several but this was gift wrapped. The lighting was terribly bright plus the wrong ID. Got it for 38 when it should have been a 200-300 marble. Someone should know right away what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted Friday at 01:23 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 01:23 AM It's a Carnelian Akro Oxblood. .79 is about as big as they get. It has cork tendencies. Haven't seen one like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted Friday at 01:40 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 01:40 AM I dont think that is a Carniealian. Or oxblood. Looks like a weak 2 color cork with an Ace base ..just my opinion that is what im seeing in the pics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, the current owner says it's an oxblood. He's got 100% feedback and has had other oxbloods at his auctions. Lighting will be key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Ox here, I see Opaqueness in a few of the OP pix, (I think) just bad lighting for that particular mib, seeing cork but not a prize name, I may be wrong though, the lighting is awfully bright. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted Friday at 06:15 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:15 AM I think I'm seeing Ox as well (on my screen anywho), but I can't get past it Not being a really nice cork. Looking forward to those pix 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every month my supplies come from Wisconsin, they end up going through half a dozen towns before going to Minneapolis then back south to me in SE Minnesota!

marboman Posted Friday at 05:54 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:54 PM Hello Wolf, seems you don't mind talking about what you pay for marbles on Ebay, so I have some questions about this marble. You say you got it for $38 was that a buy it now or did someone else bid $37 and you bid a dollar more and got it for $38? and did that include shipping? Also, what was the incorrect description? As far as the oxblood thing goes there should be some amount of black on/in the oxblood color. I enjoy your posts ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It jumped right off the screen when I first saw it. I thought it was going to skyrocket over 150 but was shocked it didn't. It was called an "Ace Oxblood Corkscrew" but I believe it to be a Carnelian Oxblood. A high-end dealer I know thinks it is also. I'll use this thread to post better pics when it arrives. My Aunt says it looks like the baby alien in the movie "Alien" which adds to the Halloween post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
