ivy_bee_vintage group listings of 'Vintage', most, if not all are modern Jabo. Some are newer, common cat's eyes.
Seems to think all Jabo runs are 'Joker' and doesn't seem to understand that not all runs in the contract run era were contracted.
Listing Defective marbles as "IRREGULAR". Apparently the word 'defect' is avoided at all costs, like the word 'chip' that some refuse to say.

petronea has many (about half) of their listings completely wrong as far as manufacture. Recently started listing DAS marbles as Joker Cranberry. Totally wrong and a complete scam artist.

bonkers9 is a completely off base, selling common, modern, Asian, Jabo and the like, with misplaced vintage names. Lists numerous Jabo as Vitro, then when finally lists a Vitro, names it Master.

kjacks69 I believe to be mislabeling due to inexperience. Many Jabo and Sammy's listed on eBay and all as vintage. Buyer beware.

redbulldivision has the 'bull' part right. Pictured is a modern DAS marble titled as an unreleased, 1994 Master furnace swirl. We all know that is impossible. Other listings exhibit both lack of knowledge and less than honest assessments. Run away!

foxfire-lt caught my eye with a Jabo listed as a Vitro Alley. Likes to grade marbles as near wet mint. That's all one needs to know to stay away.

revelade is afraid to use the word 'Chip'. Instead, states "spots of missing glass". Also states "we are not marble experts ..." as if this makes it okay to downplay reality. Very shady.

uncledmund doesn't seem to want to disclose any marbles that are polished, along with stating "I'm not an expert" as a reason not to use grading.
update: passing off Jabo as Christensen agate.

As if it wasn't obvious, 'tokisantiques' is selling new, modern Jabo and DAS as antique, as well as New Asian hand made as antique Leighton and European.

kjacks69 has many labelled as 'Mystery Marbles'. All of his listings at the time I checked, were 3/4" range Jabo, Inc. Contract run era and 5/8" range were Sammy's Mountain Marbles. One was a Asian Cat's eye. Nothing vintage, in spite of some titled as such.
