@@MadisonMainedetecting aha Ok thanks ! They might have gotten hotter recently. Sometimes certain marbles will go up and down like that. I personally would think $40.00 is a fair price for a nice busy fancy one. They are hard to find, so the supply /demand thing will drive them for sure.
More of these appraisals or value videos please. I know that isnt the point of the hobby but i believe it does help the community overall having a better understanding of values as people usually always tell people inquiring that they have nothing of value. Ive seen it more often than id like to see and it is hard to get a value out of people on marble sites or places like reddit. I understand doing your own legwork and us not doing their job for them but theres literally hundreds of marbles to remember and just as many names prices and types to know as well. I think theres enough marbles to go around that sharing the value of whatever you want wouldnt kill the hobby.
Yes Blake I agree it is important. It’s usually the first question asked after “what kind of marble is it?”. I’ve been trying to incorporate the values more, even on the identifications videos because of the requests. While I’m not an appraiser , I’ll try to continue to at least suggest rough prices, and I’ll try to work with Bob more often. He can do this stuff in his sleep- he’s a well oiled machine!
Thanks for the comment Avard, it’s always good to know what the viewers are most interested in! I’ll be uploading a new appraisal video with Bob Block in the next couple of days.
I came across some clear base peltiers like the dragon and early clear red one in this video. The ones I came across had either an abalone or metallic striations that I haven't seen before.
Hi, new to yoir channel, loving the videos. Could you please tell me how you can tell if a marble has its original outer layer and not been ground to cover damage. Or could you possibly do a video about? Thanks.
Hi Vorian and welcome to the channel. I could do a video sometime. It starts to get easy to tell when you know what the normal appearance is on a marble, and then you see a polished one and it becomes obvious it was skimmed down.
My husband and I remodeled his mom's house which was over 100 years old and when we tore our one of the walls there was a yellow and clear white marble ... It has to be 100 or more years old I have it I'd love to know how to fight out how much it's worth and exactly how old it is .?
Thanks Stephen. I have a small collection (maybe a couple thousand marbles 2/3 of which are Jabo Dave M stuff from early 2000s) just done for the love of colors and memories. I’d like to learn a lot more so I can categorize them. Best references?
There’s a few books on them that I can’t recall off the top of my head. We will be filming a Jabo Classic video in about a month. I’ve been preparing for it . Great (and unique ) colors for sure!
@@stephenbahrmarbles We only ever traded them for normals, so we could use them to roll for better marbles, so we could trade them... Just went around in circles lol
I have 8 or 9 mason jars of marbles my grandmother collected, she was born in the 1920's....they are very old and in very very good condition. Where is the best place to have them appraised. I live in the Tallahassee Florida area
My dad was a collector of everything but when he died I got some of his hobbies its been 20+ years and I just can't get into it so I would like to sell all of them at one time please if anyone is interested reply t ok me
Hi Allen, you could always put them up on EBay or contact Bob Block. I could take a look at them if you like. Email me at sbahr@scarletknights.com Thank you
Visit the Block's Marble Action for their upcoming auctions here: www.marbleauctions.com/
You better look again on the Cairo Hurricane, I have wanted one but on ebay they can go over $100 easily

Hi Stephen. Your videos have become such an important resource for the marble collecting world. Very nice to see Bob Block too.
Thank you Gabriel, Bob is a consummate professional and we will be seeing more from him on this channel!

I like this type of video. Good for a beginner like me. I am in the accumulating stage and learning fast. Thanks for posting.

Real good video

Wow Chris that does sound very unusual, but I have seen a few oddities like that from Peltier. Nice finds!
For sure! And I've been buying marbles from Blocks marble auctions too so it was cool to see this.
Those sparklers! I don’t have any marbles that fancy, I don’t think.😢
Maybe someday Mackey ✨
@@stephenbahrmarbles I have pencilled in the Indiana show for my first marble “convention” this fall.
I will learn a lot, I am sure.👍

Those prices are each?
Yes : for mint examples at auction. Everything here can be found cheaper in the wild .
I remember playing marbles at school 40 years ago. I think cats eyes and cage marbles were worth the most when trading.
Peter John yes they were popular for sure : but mass produced, and because of their abundance they hold very little value to collectors today.
