I was in an antique shop and picked up some marbles. I used to play a lot when I was a kid in the early and mid 70's in Hawaii. I used to live in Fort Shafter. All the boys went down to the park and played a few different games, such as Long-Tawl, nine-holes, etc.
I looked up marbles on Ebay and was floored at the prices of some of these marbles. They are going for 1000+ dollars for single marbles! Crazy talk, I know.
