Welcome Linda!

Usually advanced collectors buy the high dollar marbles and newer collectors buy the entry level marbles.

Welcome to TMC.

Welcome! Feel free to use this website to help you learn and grow your interest in marbles.

Sold for $400. Could have gone much higher. Someone got a good price. $600-800 not out of the question for a mint GR.

I’d think anything more than starting bid is all gravy. Rather save for a mint than buy something less than MN+, but to each his own.

Looks Alley to me but let’s see what others think.

That’s the way I get rid of “wounded” marbles, Imperials and other common marbles. We have a booth in an antique mall and it helps recoup some of the investment when you are forced to buy marbles you don’t want in order to get marbles you do. I sell jars for $30-40 and they don’t usually last too long.

Sweet!

I personally don’t see anything that carries much value in the jar. All appear relatively new.

Agree and well said!

Goes to show you have to have a healthy skepticism when people tell you what they know about an item for sale. People get confused, outright lie or forget details all the time.

Nice coral, and marbles!

Despite the provenance, they seem like Imperials to me.

Very cool 😎!!

Even if it is a blue galaxy, that doesn’t mean it’s mint, which significantly affects the price. Lots of clays and wounded warriors. He seems to think many of the marbles are more valuable than they really are. Lots of marbles with damage and he keeps dropping marbles onto a glass tray without concerns for damaging them. I wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole personally. Also polished a bunch, he said.

Thank you, Dave!

There’s a video review of the “good stuff” available but spending nearly 5K and not having it in hand is playing Russian roulette with more than one chamber loaded.
