I think it doesn't happen often. At least I haven't seen many.
Well, I've seen quite a few peewee patches. But very few larger ones.
Did the auction mention a size? (I looked but didn't see a size.)
Hello. I used to follow the auctions for those boxes. Unfortunately I paid more attention to the box than the price.
I'm going to guess $30 give or take. But that is only a guess.
Packing up the 60's marbles to sell to people who pay top dollar for everything kinda makes sense. I saw the lol, but it actually sounds good if that's the market in you area.
