Well, 81 very nice Marble Kings showed up today in the included bag. They and the bag were very greasy but they got the Dawn soap and rinse treatment and the bag is also clean. Not a bad marble in the lot. Three gaming marbles were in there. I have a few odd ones that were included and they are MK. I always like those Bumblebees. I have yet to get me a Girl Scout. ( and I am taking about green and yellow ribbon Marble Kings! )

I have no idea when those bags were used, this exact bag anyway. I'd like to know how many it originally held and if the marbles inside resembled those I got today inside it. The auctioneer may have discarded or cherry picked this bag. There seems to room for 25 or more I guess? I like Marble Kings a lot because those Vitro All Reds, and Cats Eyes were the marbles I played with 60 years ago. Thanks for looking and reading my post. IMG_0808.thumb.JPG.14ea9db7ecf71c864480b908fc01bf34.JPG

They do seem to be a hard find--these "Girl-scouts".

I have a few that are not well covered that I found in a bag or two.

I just love the Bumble Bees--these are getting pretty rare today--the older ones at least.

Imho there are 200--300 Bumblebees--Maybe more, for each "Girlscout" found  in my life.

Luve -emm!!

Marble--On!!

I don't care for these. I got them for a song at a Church basement sale this morning. I was disappointed to see these after the lady helped me locate what she called "Cats Eyes". I heard of them before but never stopped to investigate.

Well since I had these now, I wanted to know how many came in a bag and found out people are really into these. Some are worth a pretty penny. I think these are from 1999 and there would have been one loose and 9 in a 2 pc plastic tray inside the bag displayed in a blister pack.

I guess I have 5 extras, there probably was another set where they came from. So now I am looking these weird things up. LOL

I learned I will grab them if I see them but I have no love for these Pokemon marbles.

It is a surprising thing to see what these marbles actually sell for.
I have plenty of them along with some side attractions such as the big holder/display item. Pokeball?
It is not going to pass very soon, this addiction to PokeMon by the masses--not just younger folks but pushing 50 inculded.
Check it out on ebay—these things go for crazy money.
I entered into this realm about ten years back but rather than sell them, I decided to get a smile from my grandkids. (way better than money) I still have too many but I know where they are going❤️.
Marble—On!!
