August 2024 - Sorry, I haven't been updating the site in a long time!  I have been super busy and the older you get, the less time you seem to have and the more time seems to fly.  I want to thank all the collectors through the years that have visited the site.   It seems like yesterday in the later 1990's when I started my very first website and I was learning how to create websites.  I was very young and decided I wanted to jump in and to create something to help bring in new collectors into the hobby.  I have never forgotten the collectors that helped contribute pictures to the site in the early years and it was not a site that was created to benefit myself, it was a site for all collectors to learn and to spread the fun of marble collecting.   I have from time to time collected other things through the years sport cards, glass, trains, etc. but I still have a love for marbles. The site has changed servers, pages, colors, images, links, design, domains, etc. but now 26 years online, I will continue to keep things going online.  The next question, for how much longer? It ain't over till it's over!
