But anybodys help is&will be greatly appreciated...i'm looking to purchase these marbles but don't want to over price offer on these.what is shown is only about 100marbles of approx.400,i just need some names&possible values.i want some of these for myself but mostly for resale,which leads me to another question...is there a strong secondary market for THESE type of marbles?to me most seem to be COMMON christensen slags&swirls/or Akro swirls&slags,but i have no real knowledge of marbles except for the obvious(josephs coats,latticinios,coreswirls,etc.),the only reference i have is a 1996 copy of robert blocks marbles I.D.&price guide so ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated!!! thanks all!!!
Not that this means much except that they are older but alot(almost all!)glow under UV.

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.
