being few in numbers, mayhaps they were made when vitro was switching colors between runs of opaque blackies and clear catseyes, thus a transitional type marble consisting of traits from both colors/styles.
vitro transitionals if you will?
just sayin'

Odd you should suggest such a thing Buddy. These actually have horseshoe cats inside them. I tore the pack open and checked 'em out. Saw they had catseyes for guts and chucked 'em in the trash.....I don't collect cats.

be careful there...some people have been known to transition into cats-eye lovers without them even realizing it. Rolling Eyes no really, it's true!

Pink is so hard to capture in a pic. Dead on Sweet Pea colours, but on a clear base. I was fooled on an ebay auction grouping and was a little miffed at the time. 5 years later and I have never seen anything like it so I'm not so miffed anymore.

lololollers

orbboy, that one is a killa fer sure... the colors and condition blow me away..beautiful mib
here's a clear based one I got from Willie's "dig at your own risk" huge box at the Texas show.
when I picked it up and looked at it,, I was thinking along Galen's lines...shouldnt this have an opaque base?
not the best of shape but you get the idea

Derrick, Here I thought you were my friend. Chucked them Huh. Just like I chuck all my corks and CAC's. They just could not get along with My Cats.
That's it I am taking all my Cats and going home. OH wait I am home. Forgot for a minute where I was at.

Thanks Buddy. It is a pretty cool mib. Here is another odd one. About 70% clear base. There is a bit of white on the back of the brown. Crappy pic but I blew a light and have been to busy to go get another one.
