Free Marble Appraisal

Get a free, no-pressure appraisal from a lifelong collector. Simply upload up to 12 clear photos of your marbles. Group shots or close-ups are fine. I personally review every submission and usually reply within 24–48 hours. We typically receive 5+ requests every day and work hard to get back to you ASAP. If I see something of real value, I’ll let you know and may make a direct offer: no fees, no obligations, just honest feedback from someone who knows the market.

Marbles to Remove Before Photographing

Before taking your photos, you can skip over most of the marbles that have little or no collector interest.

Remove the ten marble types listed below before composing your images in a well-lit space.

#1

Plain, solid-color game marbles

#2

Transparent, clear glass marbles (of any color)

#3

Modern “Cat’s Eye” types with ribbon centers

#4

Iridescent luster marbles (rainbow metallic finish)

#5

Steelie or metal marbles without seams

#6

Brightly colored Italian clay marbles

#7

Newer stone and agate marbles

#8

Ceramic clay marbles

#9

Meteor marbles

#10

New marbles

The marbles pictured above are fun to keep, but they don’t hold resale value. Focusing on the more unique examples saves time and helps me get back to you faster.

Tips for Photographing Your Marbles

To help us evaluate your marbles accurately, please take photos in bright, natural light whenever possible. Place the marbles on a neutral background like a white or light-colored towel. Towels not only reduce glare but also make it easier to position and photograph your marbles without them rolling away. Clear, well-lit images go a long way in helping us understand what you have.
