Marbles. Anything special here?

[Beachkid23]

I bought this box today at the thrift store for five bucks. And I don't know anything about them but five dollars in like good price. Does anything in here look special or no?

"Anything Special here"

- Doesn't look like it offhand. Mostly cat eyes, looks like. Check them with a black light see if any of them glow.

They are modern imported Chinese marbles. Stick 'em in a jar on a shelf and enjoy them, maybe in 30 yrs they'll have some value. Just like Vitro marbles... 20 years ago they were slingshot ammo, but now some are worth a fair amount and some folks collect them heavily.

There is a marbles section on the forum also, may get more answers there.

I agree with cheese, nothing real old or valuable mostly post 1990....

Keep @ it and HH !!

cheese nailed it!!!..don't give up- the hunt...someday youll find the box full of 5-10$ marbles for the 5 buck box...

They're still pretty. I lost my marbles years ago! Couldn't resist that one!

Thanks for the replies. I'll .99 cent auction them, maybe get my $ back from them. I was fooled, they were in a cigar box to make them look older.

Great looking sling shot material!

I have an aluminum baseball bat, great for golf balls! Maybe the tennis racquet for the marbles?

Maybe you can sell the cigar box.

I doubt that you would get a bid...you could try the junk sites on facebook...I saw lot of cateyes from china go for 10$ the other day...ebayers are more selective...
