You better look again on the Cairo Hurricane, I have wanted one but on ebay they can go over $100 easily f

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

@@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 Love your video I getting Educated thanks again the Hernandez family Colorado ❤❤🎉🎉

Hi Mike thank you and I hope you have a great weekend!

Real good video

I remember playing marbles at school 40 years ago. I think cats eyes and cage marbles were worth the most when trading.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Peter John yes they were popular for sure : but mass produced, and because of their abundance they hold very little value to collectors today.

[@peterjohn8625]

@@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

[@Tokintopher444]

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.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

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

[@Tokintopher444]

For sure! And I've been buying marbles from Blocks marble auctions too so it was cool to see this.

[@originalsupermommy]

This is perfect timing! I was just sorting marbles to sell. Love the vid! ❤

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Cool Supermommy ! Good luck with the sales !

[@user-lq9bm6up4g]

Thank you , kind sir.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thanks Paul 🟢

[@stauffrt2]

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?

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

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!

[@Vorian174]

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]

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.

[@jeff-wisconsin8365]

Thanks Stephen. Nice to find your video this morning!

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Those sparklers! I don’t have any marbles that fancy, I don’t think.😢

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
