But, BUYER BEWARE: Marble Collecting is Addictive and NOT for the Weak of Heart or Spirit! Trying to attribute that one swirl to Alley’s Sisterville location or squinting to see if the tail of the “9” ends abrubtly at a seam on that hand gathered slag you have can be quite daunting at first. But don’t give up! The more marbles you collect and handle, the more profficient you become at identification; And the more you understand why marble collecting is such an awesome pastime. Marble Grading Guide: 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 comes from the factory. Near Mint(+/-): 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 only on one side of the marble and the other side is Mint. Good(+/-): A marble that has seen usage. It will have numerous hit marks, subsurface moons, chips, flakes or bruises. The core can be seen clearly, but the marble has obviously 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. Collectible: A marble that has seen significant usage. Overall moons, chips, flakes, and bruises. The core is completely obscured in some spots. A collectible marble has served it’s functional purpose and been well used. Still, it is a placeholder in a collection until a better example comes along. Shipping All purchases are shipped by next business day. I do combine shipping.
