First off what do those who dabbles in the marvel of marbles refer to them selves as? A Marbler? Marbliest? Marblehead? Is there a hobby standard for sorting? Is it maker, colors, sizes, styles, age or a combination of things? Or is it just a to each his/her own way of doing it? Is there any sort of storage standard for transportation and presentation. I could imagine showing up to a marble show with my collection in Tupperware containers or a large fishing tackle box, and feeling like a total buffoon. Also is it taboo or frowned upon to store or transport multiple marbles in a shared container and have them all clacking against each other? And perhaps the first question I should of asked, because I've only been interested in marbles for a month and I have already heard it to many times, how worn out is the joke or question about losing your marbles? Lmao My wife hasn't miss mentioning it a single day since I started. But I dont miss an opportunity to call her over and say "Look at this one, isn't it just marbleous" or "marble in its beauty". I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer these basic questions for me. Maybe there is an idiots quide to marble collecting I could read. Lol Thanks in advance for responding.

I am in the Northwest. In Ocean Shores Wa. The marble show sounds great. Now I just have to convince the boss. Lol

Thank you for the advice. Should each marble id request be its own new post? I have other question. But will create a new post.

I am new to this marble adventure. Excited to learn. Hopefully I have something to contribute. Not sure where to start, so am just gonna post some groups of what I have. Easiest way for me to learn which ones go in the toy box and which go on the shelf. I will post 2 pictures of each group, so different angles can been seen. Any tips or advice to better my pictures is always welcome. I appreciate everyones knowledge here and hope to learn from it Thank you in advance.
