Mint: A marble that is in original condition. The surface is unmarked and undamaged. There may be some minor rubbing on the surface, however, the marble is the way it came from the factory. (10.0-9.0).


NearMint: A marble that has seen minor usage. There may be evidence of hit marks, usually tiny to small subsurface moons, pinprick chips, tiny to small flakes, or tiny to small bruises. The damage does not detract from viewing the marble. If there is noticeable damage, then it is on only one side of the marble and the other side is Mint. (8.9-8.0)


Good: A marble that has seen usage. It will have numerous hit marks, subsurface moons, chips, flakes, or bruises. The core can still be seen clearly, but the marble has been used. If the damage is large or deep, then it is confined to one side and the other side is Mint to Near Mint. (7.9-7.0).


Collectible: A marble that has seen significant usage. Overall moons, chips, flakes, and bruises. The core is completely obscured in some spots. ACollectible marble has served its functional purpose and has been well used. Still, it is a placeholder in a collection until a better example comes along. (6.9-0.0).



I am a long-time art glass collector that started collecting marbles when I first started my journey with gallbladder cancer. I collected everything I could get my hands on that was beautiful to me. It brought me so much joy and helped me through a lot of hard times waiting for that next treasure. My collection became this beautiful mashup of periods and manufacturers. I ended up with so many marbles and no way to sort them so I went to work. I learned as much as I could about the manufacturing process. I studied the different manufacturers and their characteristics and slowly over the months sorted everything. I met lots of wonderful people along the way willing to share knowledge with me. The marble community has many wonderful and welcoming people. Now I have an idea of what it is I love the most and want to share all the beauties I find along the way that don't fit into my collection. All proceeds go toward expenses while I battle metastatic gallbladder cancer. My main goal is to get a car so I can travel and find more marble treasures to share with everyone. The hunt brings me joy and takes me from the everyday stresses of treatment. Thank you so much for stopping by.
