wvrons Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 NIce show, great marbles and low prices. To low that I had to bring some Alleys and seven Big boys home with me. Sizes from 2.40 inches or 81mm to 1 3/4 inches or 44mm . The largest is lightly polished still with pontils. But the price was right and it looked so good. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Man, I see what you mean about a light polish on the big one - it really does look sweet! The others ain't too bad either. Great snags! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I have the MM sizes wrong. But anyway the price at face to face shows can be better than the internet sales. Those handmade marbles came from three different sellers. Five from one seller and the other two were different sellers. The prices were from $75.00 to $400.00 each. I have less than $1000.00 in all seven of them, and $400.00 of it was one marble. I could have sold that one for $600.00 within a hour of buying it. Going to marble shows takes time and expense. But many times the rewards are good. Plus great times with many old friends from all over the US. Plan to go next month to a marble show and the beach in FL. Gulf beach front hotel in Feb. for the marble show. Marbles in Feb. with a beach. Two years ago marble show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted January 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Sorry those marbles were not mine. That man had the best handmade collection I have seen, plus super machine mades and box sets. Most of his collection sold recently for $310,000.00 . A long way out of my reach. He had the room next to me at the last FL show. I am sure he had to clean the drool off the marbles to sell them. It was for sale when he was at the show. I got to spend a good amount of time drooling on them. Just another reward for days at shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
