Books
Sportscards
Ping Irons / Putters

In addition to my numismatic interests, I'm also a bibliophile. Here I present a few pictures from my most prized item - either book or coin. Thomas Say. American entomology, or descriptions of the insects of North America. Illustrated by colored figures from original drawings executed from nature Philadelphia Museum: Samuel Augustus Mitchell, 1824, 1825, 1828. Three volumes in one. 8vo. FIRST EDITION. Extra engraved title page in Volume I. With 54 beautiful hand-colored plates, tissue guards present, each with accompanying text. Indexes follow each volume, and Explanation of terms used in Entomology at the rear. Because it is 200 years old, I rarely remove it from its secure holder, but I made an exception in this case. And yes, I also have a copy of The complete writings of Thomas Say, on the conchology of the United States (Binney, 1858).    Battus philenor, pipevine swallowtail or blue swallowtail  Danaus plexippus, monarch butterfly  Dynastes tityus, Eastern Hercules beetle Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I lost my marbles years ago. . . Mom threw them out with my comic books, National Lampoon magazines, and baseball cards when I was away at college.
Those are wonderful looking marbles, canudigit.

Canudigit, I bet you have a few there that fluoresce under UV "blacklight" — uranium glass!
I have a nasty habit of buying U-glass when I see it. Not sure if it counts as a collection as such, although I've been trying to focus on more artistically interesting pieces.

Thank you jbuck and cptbilly! Just as with collecting coins condition is an all important factor where value is concerned, along with rarity. The hobby has positively exploded in the past few years and prices for premium early marbles has skyrocketed. Of course this also means knockoffs are coming out of Asia and other far away places by the droves. ebay is flooded with fakes galore - so again, like coin collecting, you better have a keen eye and a decent education. I am a long standing member of a similar forum for marbles where we help folks identify what they have. I would be happy to help anyone here if they have marbles needing proper identification - you might have a winner or two tucked away! EXAMPLE: The marble shown below came rolling out of yard sale jar I bought for $5 several years ago. My heart stopped when I saw it! Circa 1926 Peltier Golden Rebel with aventurine crystal sparkles and pristine. I was recently offered $1,600 for it - I refused the offer. Also, replying to comment from publis, many types of marbles contain uranium glass. Very cool!  |
