March 4th-5th Toy, Doll & Figural Cast Iron
Check out the estimated ending prices :dropjaw::dropjaw::dropjaw:
But maybe that's why people are willing to pay so much for individual glass spheres...?? Because they are desperate to get them back.

Wow who would think? Next time i'm in an antique shop I am going to check out marbles. Lol. Anybody Know about these? I would bet someone on this forum can speak on these.:matrix:
Wish I could make them :<0) Wait a minute how hard is it ? I had a friend that was a marble maniac and he had a pile of them. My favorites are the ones I find. Don't know what they are worth but I have found them in all sorts of places. Being a dirt guy I always spot something shiny on the ground. I may be marble rich and not even know it.
Exactly why we see overpriced razors on eBay. :)Quote:

Marbles are big time collector pieces and have been for many years now. The expensive ones aren't so much the glass ones but the real old ones made from agate.
Oh man, my dad is going to be incredulous. He had a big bag full of marbles when I was younger. We lost a bunch playing with sling shots and threw the rest out when they moved in 2006. Although it was the same with his record collection. Sold off probably 150-200 records for 5 bucks at a garage sale.... Sometimes you never know what your crap is worth :shrug:
I have a friend who's into them. They all look the same to me but these guys know what's what. Most are not worth that much, but some are very valuable.
Holy crap one of them was actually sold for $11.590!
I know!!! I bout crapped myself when I checked the final sale prices about a week later! :gaah: Over $11k for a marble, next one down the price list was over $3k!Quote:
