Whether you are ready to sell or just curious, you can send photos through the Marble Appraisal Form (Learn More). We personally review every submission and will let you know if we are interested in making an offer.

You can choose the type of review that works best for you:

Why Trust Me?

Decades of experience. I started collecting marbles in the 1970s as a child and know what I’m looking for.

Personal transactions only. You’re dealing directly with me, not a corporation or auction house.

No games. I don’t pressure anyone to sell. If it’s not a match, that’s okay.

Fair market value. I buy marbles I truly want for my collection or for resale to other collectors.

What I Buy

  • Antique handmade marbles (German Swirls, Onionskins, Joseph’s Coat, Clambroths, etc.)

  • Early machine-made marbles (Akro Agate, Christensen, Peltier, etc.)
  • Rare or collectible marbles in excellent condition

  • Contemporary handmade marbles by known artists
  • I don’t buy common modern toy marbles or damaged pieces. Please set those aside before sending photos or shipping your collection, so we can focus on the marbles that may have real collector value. Please remove all transparent and opaque game marles before photographing.
