I had a bunch marbles like those in a cigar box in the mid 1960s. A bag of marbles was quite affordable at the corner store in those days. Single pieces of candy and bazooka bubble gum cost a penny. I think I'd load up 3 cents worth of bubble gum in my mouth at a time back then, so I could blow huge bubbles.

Yes marbles have a good collector following.
I was at an auction in Ohio last year, the collector items being sold included a number of marbles in large jars which had very active bidding. The man had catalogs of marble convention minutes and notes. It was a large amount of documentation.
