      @@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.

    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.

    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.

      Wow Chris that does sound very unusual, but I have seen a few oddities like that from Peltier. Nice finds!

    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!

    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.

    • @stephenbahrmarbles
      @stephenbahrmarbles  2 місяці тому +1

      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.
