emuslyfox Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Start working your way through them. Make a new post, with no more than 2-3 marbles per post. Try to include multiple photos of each marble individually, and the size of each marble, which is very important for identification. You can use other people’s posts for reference. Once they’ve been identified, you can make a new post with new marbles! Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 After you post a while you'll be I.D.ing your own and can double check here I know it looks daunting but it will go quicker than you think. When you post them post any visible seams and the sides as well, 4 views of each marble more or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Ann Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 but because I found these guys, my marbles are now coming together, they have made it easier to id myself and they put up with my lousy, fuzzy pictures, and I truly have appreciation for these marble collectors for doing what they are doing, it is a great bunch of people with great knowledge I'm glad I came here for help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 This is an old and great dusty collection here Lola--did you inherit them? I would start with the largest multi-colored marbles that you can find and post them with good well-cropped images. 3-4 images at a time with multiple images showing four shots from a different angle or side. Pick out the big “Pretty Ones” and let’s take it from there. For the most part, multi-colored marbles bring the best price and this is a good place to start with your collection. Any filled boxes or any box for that matter may be worth more than you can imagine. This is a hard thing to do—selling off a collection that you know little about. We are all here to help you out—just do not expect any prices or offers on this board. You give us a few hints and we can point you in the right direction as far as selling goes. This will be done by “Personal Message” or PM as we call it. There are plenty of folks that we all trust here, that will drive down/up/left/right to you and take a look—and give an assessment. I wish you great luck, Marble—On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
