New To the Hobby

[Iceburg]

Hello everyone,

I inherited my grandmother's collection of marbles in the 1990s when she passed away. I've kept them in her original mason jars and old galliano bottles since then. My grandmother helped raise me, taking me to yard sales and consignment shops often to help bolster her collections of glass paperweights and coca cola memorabilia among other things. I mainly just bought books back then but by the time I entered my teens, the passion for collecting she inspired in me was focused on records. I spent a couple decades researching and collecting records from the 60s and 70s quite seriously. Now I'm finally opening up my grandmother's jars of marbles and sorting, cleaning and researching. I've learned a ton already and I look forward to making some new and interesting connections here.
