Lost Their Marbles...
March 4th-5th Toy, Doll & Figural Cast Iron
Check out the estimated ending prices
But maybe that's why people are willing to pay so much for individual glass spheres...?? Because they are desperate to get them back.Last edited by Crawler; 03-04-2016 at 12:33 AM. Reason: Grammar.

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.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Don't know what there worth, but I got a sack of marbles that's easly two gallons, and that's after a few years back I picked up a wrist rocket, and marbles were flying. Tc

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

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.
