Value differs accordingly..

I agree the whole lot might sell on Ebay for twenty five bucks. That's reality. But I am in the process of excavating 40,000lbs of sand,rocks and boulders just outside my desert ghost town of Trona,Ca hunting for antique marbles. The first 10,000lbs have resulted in finding four marbles the nicest of which is a Vitro Agate Co helmet marble. That's four marbles and five days' work in 116F heat during hurricane-force sandstorms. Who would do this but a nut or someone getting far more from the effort than monetary reward? Were I you I would not sell the marbles. I would keep them.
 

thats kewl marble guy....i dig at marble factories and got many experimentals...and rare and valuable marbles from these dig sites..at one time i had 35- 5 gallon buckets of marbles...unsearched ,that i had dug....its fun for me to trade and sell, the comradrie of the marbles shows is not just for the cash.....its the knowledge you obtain by sittin around in hotel rooms for hours talkin marbles....its great that you dont want to sell any and thats your fun...you oughta go to the las vegas show and get to know some of these folks...i prob give away as many marbles that i sell...its my hobby....i enjoy diggin and findin em...at flea mkts yard sales ......pm me your address...ill send ya some....its great fun!!!
