At one point in time marbles were played with and extremely popular for kids. I don’t think those heydays will ever happen like that again. They like do to race them now, otherwise they have just become very popular collectables.

To Stephon and Ron, Hello my name is Guy, I live in Los Angles California, I have been watching and listening to guys for a couple of weeks. My doctor had advised me to p/u a hobby do to some of my health issues. So two weeks ago I happened to be pulling weeds in the garden and found a yellow cat eye marble. I cleaned it up to put it with the rest of my marbles that I have had in a cigar box that my grandfather had given to me while I was a kid. ( These marbles had belonged to my Dad and my uncle's when they were growing up). I had opened that in a while so it was like opening up a treasure box. I got curious and then you guys peaked my interest. I had been watching and taking notes and all, it was just like reading a book, i could hardly wait to get your next chapter. Then I get to the part about your loss and Ron's passing. With a heavy heart, I'd like to thank you both. Prayers are with you, you're families and all of your friends. God Bless, keep up the good work guys.
