#185: "The Illusive Jerry Hand" Size: 2.02" Price: $1,600


Every serious O'Grady collector NEEEEEDS to have a Jerry Garcia tribute marble in their collection! This is Kevin's ultimate signature marble, and they are rare as he makes no more than a handful of these each year, and sometimes not even that. AND, most importantly, these marbles are AWESOME IN HAND!!!!! I can't stress enough how cool these marbles are. I'll never forget when I opened the package with my first Jerry Hand marble in it over 15 years ago. I didn't even know what I was getting, didn't know about the Jerry Hand marbles or anything, I just thought it looked cool in the pics....and then when I opened the package, holy smoking aces, did that marble ever BLOW MY MIND!! Like this one, it had a dancing bear (earlier version) peaking out from waaaay down inside the deep vortex. Such an amazing effect. Jerry's hand (with missing finger and all) is made out of gold fuming and holds that diamond (opal) in the palm, and this one is a NICE opal too! Then you have this STUNNING dichro that flows waaaay down into the depths, absolutely INCREDIBLE in hand, sooo much better than these pics. Then the backside features a host of Kevin's Grateful Dead murrine, with Jerry Garcia featured prominently in the middle, and then rose, stealie and cat murine ringed all around that. The other gold and silver fuming is wild in hand as well! It's a legendary and stunning marble that I am releasing from my collection, and you do NOT want to miss this one. It's signed with Kevin's signature chip, I'm pretty sure the year is 2012, although it sort of looks like 2002 also. I think some of the murrine make it 2012 though.
