Interested in collecting marbles? Judith Miller in Buy, Keep or Sell? suggests looking for solitaire boards, avoiding marbles such as Cat's Eyes that were mass-produced after the 1960s and look for the original packaging.

From Morphy's Auctions:
Private collections of impeccable quality prompted an avalanche of bids in Morphy Auctions' September 2008 Fall Sale, which realized $1.7 million.
