Thank you. I’ve never seen a marble king this large before.

Great thread. I bought my first jar of clearies and jabos last summer. I collect uv glass and noticed that some glowed. I got home and thought to myself, well, that was a dumb purchase. So I threw them in my sons toy box for a few months. A few months later I found more interesting marbles and did the same. This time I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I pulled them out of my sons toy box and it became an obsession. Next thing you know I joined this forum and down the rabbit hole I went. But that’s how it all started for me.

Which ones Akro? The smaller ones?

No. It’s just a faint white.

I’m bad with the calipers but my amateur reading is 1/2 on the dot.

My twisted eyes go to a lot of them on this board. Some nice Jah-Bow for sure.

Tips for starting a collection?

Sometimes you get lucky because sellers don't know what they have. Sometimes you get ripped off because sellers don't know what they have. -

Never, EVER, trust a seller. When in doubt, post pictures here and we'll try to help. -

The bad part about antique shops it the majority of vendors don't know what they have so they ask an insane amount for their clearies and game pieces. You try to talk them down to get the value of a specific marble in the jar you have your sights on, but they are insistent that their garbage marbles are worth $50 a jar. It's pretty frustrating.
