Melissa Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Does anyone here suffer from SMD besides me? Are you attracted to common clearies, game pieces, and cats eyes and haven't a clue as to why? You want to clean out your massive hoard of nonsense, set a goal to get rid of them, and just can't bring yourself to do it? If so, please share your favorite stupid marble in this thread to show your support for all those suffering from SMD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I've always been pretty focused in the types I collect, though they range from handmades, machine mades and contemporaries. I have always avoided "strays", unless I absolutely HAD to take them as part of a deal. Then I moved them out cheaply and quickly at shows. I still have a few around, but not enough to be worth finding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carowill Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Agree with Alan’s philosophy on marbles. You try to get everything as a newbie, but you will become much more discriminating with time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no "stupid marbles"--just stupid buying and stupid selling. I prefer the stupid sellers myself--lets just call them uninformed instead of stupid. I have preyed on them for years--still do. Collecting marbles is an art form that takes a whole bunch of research and experience. I will always continue to learn and prey on the uninformed--This is the way! Marble--On!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Smart Marble Disease means you’re smart enough to never stop collecting marbles. Don’t be stupid and jump off your roof because you blew a WVS ID. 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 And there really is no such thing as a stupid marble, they're toys, and there are probably a million children in this world for whom a handful would be the best gift they ever received. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 @Fire1981 Wee-boy is a hilarious - almost too goofy. What were they thinking - like, what's the point? 😄 And you should sculpt a mini-me to put on that Zamboni! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about them but it sorta looks like it could use an alignment. Regardless, I'd have played with that when I was a kid!

Ric Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 I'm counting on @Melissa's good nature and hoping she won't hold it against us for sorta hijacking her thread . . . I have forgotten everything I once knew about this truck - who modified it, when, and how many are out there. And I'm hoping someone else might be able to clue me in - maybe @Nantucketdink? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
