jeeperman Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks, no Av in that. What you are seeing is a bunch of small bubbles. If is very bubbly throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you back lit yours?  Crazy!  I don't think that I have yet for this example...I'll have to dig it out and check...but I'd bet that it does.  Crazy how those two match.  Have you found these types in other colors?

J_Ding Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I try to give all the marbles I keep a closer look from time to time.  I know the one below is the most common Popeye, but they all have their subtle individuality, even in the red and yellow.  This one, with just a window of transparent glass, solid opaque white and only a bit of the wispy white is, I think, plenty interesting in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yep, I would agree, plus you just never know what you might see that escaped you the first 20 looks. At least that's how it goes in my world. =} Nice popeye. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nice. Â I hope I'll remember this example for when people try to say something isn't a popeye because it doesn't fit the collector's definition -- even though Akro made it in a Tri-Onyx Agate run.

Â I can't tell you how many times I study a 'set aside but study again' marble and think, how'd I miss that previously? Â 20 hours ago, Steph said: Nice.

Â Â I agree Steph. Â I'd prefer a world that called them as they were called too. Â So much more dignified. Â Oh well, so it goes. Next one I post I'll use both names.

Steph Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's not so much me disagreeing with what folks call it -- it's just a quirk with collector's definitions.  Some marbles could be considered Popeyes which were never part of a tri-onyx run ... but marbles which were part of a tri-onxy run and were sold in Popeye boxes could be rules out as popeyes because they don't have enough clear or don't have enough filamented white.  The technical details of the collectors' definition make some real tri-onyx's somehow not good enough to be Popeyes.  But in theory some other marbles could slide into the category even though they weren't originally in a tri-onxy run.   So I'm really commenting on how names can drift away from the original versions so much the original marbles in that class don't qualify any more.     It'd be like if someone went up to Chuck B. and tried to argue that their definition for Vitro Superiors was better than his and that what he was calling Superiors weren't really.  When he and Diane are the ones who coined the name.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Ding Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hmm, hey Steph, sorry if you thought I was trying to say you didn't like the name. I knew what you meant...just added my thinking. I'm really I'm ok with it. I have to be, this isn't going to change and doesn't even have to. In truth, I just like the sound of calling them what Akro called them.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
