akroorka Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I think Jabo also--a special one. @Nantucketdink may have another opinion though. My call is just a special "Jabo Classic". Nice marble--Great ask! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Well, it's mint and 5/8. Is 225 too much? I don't know much about the rare Alleys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 $225 ???? That to me is a “must have” price🍿🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Way too much. Those were going for 35 each not long ago. I've seen them hit 80+ lately and I wouldn't pay that but 225 seems way too high. Prices are nuts these days though. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Last one I bought was $20.oo, it was a while back but 225 is ridiculous, that's almost a friggin car payment. They're a little HTF but not that hard. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the colors on this one is superior. Brighter pink. I think it'll be fabulous. Here's the other one. https://bid.marbleauctions.com/online-auctions/blocks-marble-auctions/alley-agate-company-swirl-opal-lady-5-8-mint-9-9-7081065 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emuslyfox Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I have a few of these in similar condition and style and I haven’t paid over $100 for one. I agree they’re stunning, and yours looks great, but way overpriced in my opinion. Also, I’m not really a spokesperson for Block and grading is fairly subjective, but I would say that Block is a professional auction house. So when they say something is 9.9 mint, it’s usually closer to that then when a random eBay seller says it, based on my personal experience. I’ve bought a ton of marbles on ebay and it seems like they all say mint now days. I’d be far more likely to pay that price for a Block auction 9.9 mint than just a marble labeled mint on eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sold on Esty from someone who mainly sells other antiques. I think he has a couple of other marbles for sale. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChicMouseVintage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Well, just as I suspected, my uncle is buying this marble from me whenever it comes. I knew he would want it once he saw the pink. He raises daylilly plants and pink is one of his favorite colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
