akroorka Posted Wednesday at 01:35 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:35 AM 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 Wednesday at 11:05 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:05 PM 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 Wednesday at 11:09 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:09 PM $225 ???? That to me is a “must have” price🍿🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted Thursday at 03:13 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:13 AM 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 Thursday at 03:38 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:38 AM 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 Thursday at 06:49 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:49 PM 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...
