This is a group of marbles found at an estate sale. Any help at id'ing and whether or not these marbles have any significant value and desirability. Thank you so much. I am new at this and any guidance is appreciated.

You have to many marbles in your photo. Would help if u maybe group them in 4s

James is right.  It can be nice to see a large group to get a feel for someone's collection. For specific information smaller groups are better.  

From the larger version of your picture which you posted in the test forum, I see a number of Akros, one Master, and some West Virginia swirls.

From that group, the Akros would be the most valuable.  In particular the ones with oxblood (which is a special opaque reddish glass).  Condition matters a great deal though.  One nick can reduce a marble's value by half.

Quality of pictures means alot.

Thanks for the input. I'm not having much luck in reducing the size of my photos so that it is below the .42mb threshold. I reduced the number of marbles and I'm still struggling the file size. I'm old and not very computer literate. 🙂

looks like at least a few nice ones there (Pelt spiderman, Akro popeye, couple Alleys), looking forward to the new pics

Once your pictures are on your computer and in a folder, if you right-click on the specific picture name or # in the folder, there should be an "Open With" command and going to that might give you an option "Paint".  That is a good option to resize your picture - either by pixels or percentage.  Trying to keep it simple.  I attached a screen pic that hopefully will help.

Thanks Al. I am actually trying to work with an iPhone and iPad. I may have to migrate to the computer if it doesn't get more consistent. Thanks for the help.
