Thanks! Maybe there’s hope for me yet ;)

Oh, there`s hope! Studying marbles seems to be a lifelong thing. Been at it for years now and still have huge gaps I`ll never fill. So I just concentrate on areas I really, really like - old Germans, slags, transitionals, Pelts, Alleys, some Akro, cat`s-eyes. And buying the stray pretty one regardless of who made it.

Buckle up!

I totally agree. I have a friend who bought the most beat up baseball cards. Bottom line is he has crappy Mickey Mantle,Babe Ruth and other famous players. But…he has them! A beat up Blue Galaxy is still a Blue Galaxy. I guess it’s always up to you. 🔥

Thanks Ann! I appreciate your insight. I definitely have my marbles I seem to have a preference for so likely I’ll fall toward them if I ever am able to afford the better condition ones. Every maker has gorgeous marbles though so for now I just take them all in 😂

Yeah, I’ve always had a place in my heart for the rough and tumble. I really have a soft spot for provenance in collectibles. So a bonked up mib doesn’t seem to bother me a bit.  If I die and have a few good ones for my daughter to sell then I guess that’ll be the cherry on top of all the fun I have hunting them down.
