These "Banana Swirl" 16mm (5/8th inch), player marbles are sold in your choice of singles or packs of 5 and are crafted with a transparent, clear base with opaque yellow and white swirls in and on the marbles. Known as "Early Edition" marbles, they are generally the best quality and colors available. They were made 2000 - 2003 and were found in a buyout of a marble store that had not been touched since 2015. The glass used to make them was of a higher quality than subsequent years. They were made by Vacor (Mega Marbles) and have been discontinued. These marbles are highly sought after as collectibles, very hard to find and will surely create a conversation whenever used or displayed! Our quantities are very limited. See the links below to order stainless steel, ring style, washer type display stands or our lovely, beveled glass stands for your marbles.

While each batch of marbles can be slightly different depending on the glass used to make them, there are other variables such as the temperature of the glass when put in the machine, the temperature of the machine, and the ambient air temperature that will affect the final product. These factors can make the colors on the marbles vary slightly from batch to batch. For instance if you order red marbles some of them may be dark red and the next batch be a lighter red. Sometimes we try to take pictures of a variety of marbles of the same color if they appear to have any slight differences that we feel should be noted.

These marbles are retired, extremely rare, and are not being produced anymore. So when they are gone, they are gone.

Images are representative of selection. Each marble is a unique glass orb. No two marbles are exactly alike. Please be aware that marbles are very difficult to photograph and due to differences in personal settings on computers and hand held devices the colors you see may vary slightly from the color you receive. Lighting such as flash photography can greatly effect the look of a marble as can holding the marble under different types of lighting can make the color look slightly different. We do our absolute best to represent our marbles accurately and true to color, but even the best photography will not display as 100% perfect. The white spots on these marbles are light reflections, not damage or error spots.
