    haha, I still wouldn’t have clue how to play marbles. I think I always got them in my stocking at Christmas, I was never told it was a game.

    Yes.  'Boulders' were prized, 'pure-es' were worth the most, 'sparklies' the second most, 'blackies' and 'whities' third, followed by white/colored, and 'cat's eyes' were worth the least.  I sucked at the game, but my brother won a lot from the neighbor kids (jars full).  I'm not sure what exactly became of all those marbles, some broke or were heavily pockmarked, but I think a few are still out in the back shed.

    I remember marbles, but never played them.  I played jacks and was really good at it.

    Yes. 

    When I was growing up, my sister got jacks, my brothers and I got marbles.
