I have a few jars full from digs and would like to find out more on them. Enjoy the digging when I pull marbles and coins. Thanks for any assistance. Post #: 1

RE: ? For Marble specialists - 9/9/2011 7:34:32 AM    LtlBtl Posts: 180 Joined: 1/1/2011 Status: offline I have a few but I find the naming/id'ing of marbles exceedingly difficult. I think marbles are a hobby that books are not a huge help beyond basics. Of all the hobbies/collecting genres I am/have been into, they frustrated me the most. The differences between Superman and Supergirls, MFCs vs. CACs, slags and bricks drove me away from pursuing more. I could id an oxblood but not a lot beyond that. "Collecting Antique Marbles" by Baumann is a decent book and the one I use the most. www.landofmarbles.com  is a great collector's website and the people on forums are very helpful. If you are lucky enough to live in area where there is a club, join it. Hit a show and find a dealer you connect with. Pick their brian. That will help more than any books.
