Hi everyone. My name is Andy, and I reside near Amarillo, Texas. I am quite possibly the newest member and greenest collector on here! I am 27 years old and began collecting depression, vaseline, and victorian glass pieces a few years ago.... That is up until about October or 2012, when I came across a beautiful little Joseph's Coat Handmade swirl.... I purchased the little beauty and was instantly hooked on marbles! I've kind of put all other collecting aside as I have become obsessed with these little works of art! I have a decent collection of handmades from clambroths to micas, and gooseberries to latticinos... But within the past few months I've dived head first into machine mades... I love them... Though I have LOTS to learn, I would like to say, this site has been so extremely helpful with my new hobby/love... I have learned so much from all of the seasoned collectors!
