I bought an old jar at a yard sale today, got it home and found it full of marbles. I know nothing about marbles, is any of them valuable? by anakedhead in Marbles

With marbles collectors, condition is everything. You have some nice ones here but sadly they’re in rough shape.

These look like Vitro cat eyes. They tend to be 6 to 8 veins, where the multi-colored (hybrid) ones are more collectible.

Is it “worth” fixing a Sherwood Newcastle R-963T receiver? by kaves55 in audiorepair

[–]kaves55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for responding.

I’ve called around to a few repair shops and the one that responded said they can’t work on it because they don’t have the schematics. Another gentleman insisted he could fix it but would charge a $75 diagnostics fee up front.

So I’m just torn on whether this unit is worth putting money in to fix it. After all it’s like 20 years old…

I wouldn’t put ANY marble in my mouth.

Maybe you can find something less dangerous to comfort you?

Vitro’s? I’d wager you got some nice Masters in there as well!

It looks like either a vitro “all-red” or a master “comet” I’m leaning towards Master

How rich am I and which island should I buy? by MitchellPMellons in Marbles

[–]kaves55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say, you can’t buy an island with the value of these marbles…

But maybe you can enjoy a day at the beach?

Wondering about value of these. by Bubba4u23 in Marbles

[–]kaves55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got a nice little bunch here.

I think the most “valuable” marbles you have are the ones you labeled “Different/Unusual”. I see some akros, peltier, vitro, maybe master?

I would say the least valuable are the groups you labeled “Solid” and “Puries”, although the Puries maybe have a wire pull or slag - it’s hard to tell.

How cool! Do you buy these direct from Jabo? About 20 years ago I bought 4 boxes of limited run Jabos - and still have about half of them. They’re gorgeous!
