I bought the #2 guinea marble and it is absolutely gorgeous! I actually was outbid by less than a dollar on the number 3 guinea.

@Meta Mibs No problem and thanks for making the videos! It's cool to see so many people getting into the hobby. I just started about 4 years ago when I purchased my first contemporary piece. It wasn't long before my interest in vintage and antique marbles ignited.

wow!! beautiful!

I came for the marble info but stayed for the relaxing music!

Gorgeous marbles! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for bringing it to us, enjoyed the show 🏹

Loved the honorable mentions!!

Great video! Would love to see separate Top 10 lists for auction sales and BIN sales in each of the machine-made and handmade categories.

LOVE THE HANDMADE SECTION!

So glad you and others like the split format! I agree that the handmades (and machinemades) deserve their own limelight! Thank you for the engagement Cody :)

The #1 handmade is an antique German handmade Latticinio core swirl with extremely rare colored base glass (any true colored base glass on a core swirl is a roughly 20× or more multiplier in terms of value).

Any suggestions about how to get an evaluation of a somewhat random collection of marbles to see if tthere are older or valuable ones. Thanks.

The only thing I can think of to help expand and grow your channel is to start making shorts. (Even though I don't really like the shorts it can help quite a bit bringing attention to your channel) I'd do something like "top 3 crazy sold marbles" showcase 3 different marbles for 5 seconds each. If you do any voice over try to be keep it short but energetic something like "can you believe this price!"

​@@metamibsI see you video views went up from 13,000 to 16,000 in the past few days... maybe it's because of the shorts? Idk. Anyways in your shorts try asking the audience questions to get more interaction. Hope your channel starts to blow up for you.

Ohh so lovely ☺️

Nice video. Thanks.

I'd vote for multiple videos 1 video for single vintage marbles 1 for hand made antique and 1 for any number of other categories.

I sold number #7. It was gorgeous!

Can I send you a picture of some marbles we are selling for an estate to see if you can spot anything valuable?

Where do I get my marbles appraised

I’ve got a red mica marble (seven of them), how much they worth each?

I have a question. I have about 15 hundred marbles. Know nothing about them were would I go to get them appraised

How can I find out if mine are worth anything

You'll first have to identify them! I started with the Marble Collecting Society of America website and Stephen Bahr's KZread videos. If you want to dig in further, I'd suggest looking into the many marble collecting books which frequently contain approximate values.

After keeping and collecting marbles from bottle dumps for over 50 years....this stuff isn't even slightly rare or impressive. I'm evidently the richest man on the planet according to these prices.🤔⚠️👎 The new stuff is nice to look at but shouldn't even be considered as collectable.

I love your videos. Perhaps some microphone changes. Your "s" sounds are sometimes ear splitting.

I appreciate your feedback - on my feedback! haha I've tried my best to reduce the pops and hisses in post-production, but I'm far from an audio engineer. I've wanted to purchase a proper microphone, may just move that up the "want" list. Again, thank you for the honest criticism and your engagement!
