As a marble collector for the last 10 years I have always been fascinated by the history of marble playing. A part of that history is displayed beautifully on vintage postcards, trade cards, tobacco cards and other various early advertising. Over the years I have collected over two hundred postcards and trade cards as well as numerous pieces of paper history that don't readily fall into any specific category. With this book I hope to share some of this history with others. By no means is this every example that exists, but it is no doubt one of the largest single collections specifically on the topic of marbles in the world. I hope you enjoy it! Craig Snider
