Turn it a little bit more...I think I see the Riddler.

Thanks for the Bennett timelines (70s through at least 1992).

Thanks for sharing. That is a fantastic looking marble.

I don't know anything about the Harold Bennet marbles and would like to learn about them. Do you or anybody else have a timeline for when these comic marbles were made?

I think you have to decide for yourself if you have a problem collecting damaged marbles. Don't worry about what others think. Most people typically only display one side of a marble anyways and that marble may spend the the rest of your lifetime with the good side displayed. Buying damaged marbles is a great way to add beautiful marbles to a collection for cheap. It is your collection. Collect what you like and pay what it is worth to you. I hope you won the marble and nobody sniped it away from you because of your post here.

Happy Valentine's Day - marbles are so much more enjoyable when shared with a loved one. I hope you all have a marble lover in your life.

Oh well

I neither kept this nor took a photo, but we found an Easter Egg (hardboiled egg) that had remained hidden for 20 years in my parents house. Inside the intact shell was an about 3/4" marble. I swear to god it looked exactly like a marble and was as hard as glass. There was no odor to the petrified egg at all. I didn't keep it because i wasn't collecting marbles at that point in my life, but this would have been the perfect place to post the photo. It was brown, slightly translucent, wet mint, and round.

Merry Christmas
