  1. Hopefully your not too discouraged regarding your group of marbles. Collector value is measured by more than just age or value. It's basically all about what you like. I'm sure the ones in this group that were acquired by your grandmother are priceless too you! Every one of us have had and will have again our share of "hits" and "misses" when it comes to acquiring a mixed group of mibs. Never know what you will find! It's always fun finding that container or jar "out in the wild". They're all collectible, per say. Good luck in your search and feel free to inquire with the knowledgeable collectors here if you have questions prior to purchasing when on the hunt 😊
  2. "We all live in a Peltier Submarine" ....the song just popped into my head while checking this out. If I could live in one, definitely this one versus a Yellow one! 😁
  3. "How are you helping too create a new generation of marble collectors"....that's a thread that bumblebee created a few months back. You should check out the Pokemon collectibles Akroorca posted there 😊
  4. Not sure if you saw them Mojo, but some of us shared our vintage soda bottles in the thread "Show Us Your Bottles"....more nice examples 😊

    TRIP !!!!!!

    I'm hoping to see and hear you go "back to back to back" with conservative scores! Also as importantly, enjoy the trip. Looking forward to some pics of your day 😊 I think we're going to drive down to Decorah, Iowa for a while later this morning, I'm going to check in with that lady at her antique store too see if she put out any more mibs. You know, the one who supposedly "sold all her husbands mibs"? Ever so often when I stop in there's more on the shelf in the back! Once again, enjoy getting out for some relaxation and fun my friend 😊👍
  6. As an older collector in various fields of interest, and as a newer collector when it comes to the vast world of marbles; I can respectfully see the points made in both the pros and cons presented by my peers on this subject. Such is why I used the word "if" when saying Sherbet. Alot of unknowns regarding these "mystery" mibs. It will be interesting to see if future research does provide some kind of answers. Somewhere out there lies the answer to the beginning. Whether that answer is ever discovered remains to be seen. I would like too see something conclusive take place that will benefit the marble collecting community as it forges forward into undiscovered country 😊
  7. 2 weeks in a row...love it when good hits roll together! Your box looks great I'll add 👍Original price, I would think so, before sticker pricing was widespread 😊
  8. It's just another trait that Marbleaholics have to contend with when struggling with their affliction...always nice too have our great counselors save the day! 🤪
  9. Oh yeah, it's been quite some time! Sight for sore eyes, good to see ya!
  10. There are some very talented, knowledgeable folks here...a ton of experience at your fingertips 😊
  11. Welcome! You do have some interesting mibs for sure....try posting individual pics with different views of each marble. Also please keep it limited too only a few at a time. It's alot easier and less time consuming! Once again, Welcome!
  12. I'm continuously time challenged when it comes to taking a few moments to snap pictures, but when I can, all I have is my Android J3 Orbit phone with its limitations. And I set up in my lighted display case on the 2nd shelf. Guess they come out good enough? 😊
