If you have marbles that need to be identified, graded, and/or appraised at current market value, please consider using my appraisal services.

I charge a flat fee of $2 per marble, and this includes complete identification, grading, and estimated value appraisal. Each marble will be placed in its own re-closeable polyethylene bag with a computer printed label containing all pertinent information.

There is a minimum $20 charge (i.e. you should send at least 10 marbles) and you are responsible for also paying return shipping with full insurance.

Please bear in mind that there is no such thing as a "professional" marble appraisal and the opinions I give may vary from others who use different standards, particularly as it applies to grading.

However, this is a good way to learn exactly what you have, if your marbles should require insurance coverage, or simply knowing what to tell prospective buyers should you decide to sell.

Please note that you are responsible for the marbles until I receive them, so it is a good idea to insure them or require my signature upon delivery to me.

If you are interested in this service please Email me to obtain my shipping address, and please make sure that you include a note specifying that you want the marbles appraised (otherwise I may assume they are for consignment). I charge for this service upon completion, which generally takes about one week.
