How about sets by sizes did anyone ever collect one of each size?

Like this set of Fiestas from Vacor -  50mm down to 16mm

I am sure that there are quite a few that do this--collect by sizes.

I do not but it sounds like a very fine and rewarding experience to me.

"You do you" and if you ever need any help finding one--contact me by PM (Personal Message)

I am always willing to help out a fellow collector--always:lol-016:.

Marble--On!!

I like those Vacors but I stay in the 9/16 to 1 inch range and sometimes get a bigger or smaller if the detail is still nice. 

They tend to lose eye appeal and have cold folds when they are really large in my experience. Coincidently for fun I just put a 10 pc graduating set of crystal clear marbles in a tiny jar but they might be from several makers. They look neat lined up.

and  . . . welcome to the Marble Connection forum. Stick around, it gets funner. :lol:

I really liked the 50mm size when they had bubbles 

they did get a lot of annealing folds though

Toebreakers!

I might have 1 of those and a few next size down. I have a beautiful perfect 1 5/8th Glitterbomb but I assembled a nice Sampler 10 oz net bag and it is now part of that assortment. I thought I should post my silly clear set I was mentioning above.

Getting bigger would be much easier than getting smaller. That tiny one is 8.8mm and the next size up are both from a Glasfirma Mexico net bags. I remember because they counted them as 1 marble of the contents I was supposed to have. :huh:
