Don't trust the marble books price guides..

Few used to care about marbles. Then they became collectible. Prices skyrocketed,market became flooded and now we're in a recession/depression. I bought those books when I first began excavating antique marbles in my desert ghost town. According to the books my marbles were worth $400 each. Holy mackeral! I danced the Jarabe Tapatio thinking I'l be buying Cadillacs. Then I checked marbles on Ebay,found they were selling for $2 each,called the Cadillac dealership and cancelled my purchase order.

Agree with Duffy. Remember also any bites , nicks , moons or chips greatly reduce value.
