marblenewbie Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Brand new here and same to marbles. Marble beauty recently caught my eye while garage saleing and decided to stick my foot in for fun. Have accumulated approximately 300 marbles but really have no idea what I am doing other than buying what I like and getting a copy of Block's Marbles of 2011. I've read a lot of the chat in here and find it enthralling but confusing. I know it takes time as does any collecting as I have other collections. Any identifications on some of the ones I have collected and posted here so far would be much appreciated. I am not sure I have not been buying a pig in a poke, so any valuation literature source would also be helpful. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Chad G. Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 "Welcome to Marble Connection" Glad to have you, lots of marble & marble related knowledge & knowledgeable people here more than willing to share what they know, great to see a few pix right out of the gate, I'll give the I.D. on a couple & go from there. "Again, Welcome" I believe the two of these are "Peltier Rainbos" judging from just this one limited view ?? Generally it's a good idea to post no more than 3 marbles at a time with multiple views of each marble, i.e. top, bottom and a view of each side. A good measurement can also play a key part in the proper I.D. of certain marbles. If a measurement is given please try to use fractions of an inch i.e. 1/4, 3/4, 13/16ths etc. if not then decimals. This will all go to a much quicker, easier & more accurate I.D. "Thank You" Ah !! I almost forgot, whatever you do have fun !! Chad G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
