Madcap Laughs Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 These are the only photos available to me...asking for more. I am just no good at this ID stuff. Could you help a gal out? I do utilize resources...I just don't know "how" to buy for a mib's value. I usually buy bc it is pretty. Idk if that makes sense but IDs would help greatly!  Ty!!😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 If you're looking to purchase, I personally don't see anything really worth the price of shipping except the big vitro with the peachy ribbon. I see a couple Alleys but in bad shape, not really collectible. The first is a common Vitro conqueror. The last is a JABO. I'd save my money and wait for something better. Buy quality. Whatever it is you like, get the good ones and they will hold value. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Laughs Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 Thanks for the insight. I'm just not good at the value thing bc I'm bad with IDs. I cannot retain the info. It just does not stick. I look at charts and use Google lens before I come here but even going on ebay to gague value is hard bc it is really quite relative, isn't it? Sort of up to what someone is willing to pay? Idk. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what to spend but know this is not the place for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I wouldn't give more than $5 for all shown. Someone else might, but only for that one Vitro. Stick with it for a bit, it will begin to click in time. Marbles ain't easy, not for the faint of heart. But it is rewarding when you start to get it and it begins to fall in place. There's no shortcut for study and familiarization (time). Go to a marble show and talk to other collectors and ask questions. People here are willing to help, ask questions that will give you answers that propel you forward. Check out the archived posts on the marble sites and get all the info you can. Eventually it will start clicking a bit at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 What Cheese says X2 for sure. Enjoy the ride, we all went from a Model A to more advanced model and all of us enjoyed the transition to the current position that we all hold. All of us learn here everday--that is the trip down Highway 66 ( collecting marbles)--no end--just a beginning and quite a nice ride! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
