your welcome  the color combos with no white or clear halp also there is a marble with clear and white in them that is a cork screw plus 2 other colors, that is a popeye. they generally go for 25-35$.  as the marble get larger like if yu have one of the better colro combos and its as hooter marble. the price goes way up if it 15/16ths or over and inch with no chips or cracks. these marbles can bring 25-200$.   there is also a slag marble that has one coor i think you hasa green one and then has some white swirled into it. if the swirles white makes a 9 or has they are worth a little more especially if larger ones.  if they have many swirls spin around a few times  these can be early m f christiainson marbles these are worth way  more also.   these are hand gathereed early marble and highly saught after.  it took me about 4-5years of studdying marble to finally understand them well.  if you have other good colored ones picture them and i can tell you about them. one like the spiderman are red and blue. better colors ones tend to have names that let you know the colors. black and yellow bumble bee. etc... but the newer marbles like this from 1980 and newer have only just a little added value they aremuch easier to find in good condition. if a marble has someting really weird going on with it they can be valuable also like a cats eye (bannanna) with a bubble in the middle of the swipe of color is called a fat bannanna.i like to call them pregnant bannannas. thes ecan sell for 5-10$ each and look almost just like regular cats eyes if you dont inspect them well.  you should look forat adventurine in marbles also . it shines like tiny sparkes. they are usually dark green in collor.  

a cork screw is on an opaqu not transparent( not see through) solid s  color. if the color is not white that helps the value and if the swirl is not white also . you have 2 good colors not white or clear that really helps the value.   if the color is see through its called a snake. because you can kinda see how it looks like a snake you can see the whole thing . all coiled up and ready to strike.
