Good Morning and Merry Christmas!

Here are the pairings for the exchange for 2025!

Akroorka/Tommy

Fire1981/Vamarbles

The Nickel Guy/Disco005

Parmcat/SequoiaBET

Wolf/ Akroorka

We only had 9 sign up so I’m asking @akroorka if he would be kind enough to exchange twice 
 

Here’s how it works.  Contact your member/partner through Private Message to find out their address and maybe ask them a few questions? Types of questions you might ask…colors they like, do they like a certain maker, swirls or patches, etc?  Keep it simple but good info to know!  Last year most members sent around 5-10 different marbles to their partner.  It doesn’t have to be high dollar marbles just something you would like to gift.  Then send your gift to that member on or around December 10th!! Please use this thread to send pictures if you like once your present arrives.  Keep it fun and Merry Christmas  to all!

Oh boy disco005 !!!

You are so kind. 

I'll be the first here to report that a cool package was delivered today. I looked like Ralphie tearing into that box like it was an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!

Put your sunglasses on so you don't hurt your eyes with these greenish wispy 21/32" marbles loaded with sparkling aventurine. I don't know what they are yet but they are . . .

Awesome :lol-016:  I am informed that these are Marble King Aventurine.

Then there is this cool cullet. It is turquoise and orange stripes and of pretty good size. I am told this is an Akro Agate Cullet and it is so groovy.

But I was super surprised to find a set of Akro Agate Snakes. Yellow, Blue, White, Green, Orange and . . .

RED!

What? A red Akro Agate Snake! Of course all of them are great examples but I am a lucky dawg to have disco005 as my trading partner.

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you and all the fine people on Marble Connection Forum.

I never even thought I'd see a red snake in my hand let alone HAVE ONE. Wowee!

Actually I should have been the first to report back here because  @The Nickel Guy was way more organized than I have been this last week.
 I received my treasures from him on the same day that I sent his out, and I should have already posted my prizes, work is in the way and that stinks. I promise I will take and share photos very soon.

@The Nickel Guy if you want to do your own research on those marbles, don't read further -
I stalked you on Marble Connection to try and find out what you liked 🤣
The set of five that are Green with AV, those are Marble King.
The cullet is Akro, you posted once that that is your favorite color combo. 
I told you, I'm a 🤓.
Hahahah!
