Melissa Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I am filling up my second gallon freezer bag and it's getting out of hand. I'd like to start unloading some soon. I know the hybrid cats eyes are collectible. Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted December 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Also, speaking of cats eyes, how do I get my hands on some of those four colored St. Mary cats eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 There's a thread here called "Hard to find" cat's eyes"...that can help you some as far as getting some ideas about the tough to find ones...beyond that it's basically what you like. It's inevitable when it comes to marbles in the wild...you will almost always have a bunch in the mix! Maybe check out Stephen Bahr's Cat's eye video...he puts some emphasis on a good variety that are sought after 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is two marble king orange cats squished together and perfectly round, a Double Ingit without imperfections. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 There is a recent new Cat Eye book out with great details in it for US made and all Cat Eye type marbles. Some people think the prices or values in the book are higher than what most consider the average. Great information for any and all Cat Eye marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you still have some sorting to do . . . there are Blackies and Black Line All Reds in your second bag and Tiger Eyes in with your Conquerors. But Conquerors and newer All Reds are probably the most common vintage marbles that Vitro produced so it's not too surprising you have loads of them. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for collectibles . . . cat's eyes with black . . . , although Bogard did make quite a few of them, other types, even Asians are not very common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
