I have owned a bunch of them
I have never seen color variations of players. I have owned multiples of a number of the players. I didn't pay close attention to the size of their heads, but do not recall variations in them either. There were either 5 or 6 different packages(despite advertising 24 series) like the one shown above. 20 marbles per package (listed on the packages as "series") that would put a set at either 100 or 120. You used to be able to find them once in a while on unopened packages like the one shown. Those seem to be buried in collections as I can't recall the last time I saw one publicly offered. Hope that helps. Some bigger names - Clemente, Mays, Rose - no Mantle.

1968 baseball marbles
I ran across a set of these yesterday while cleaning out my closet. They apparently are my husbands that he picked up at a garage sale when he was a kid. Theres quite a few including a rich nye. My husband asked me to get a feel as to how much these are going for. Any help would be great, thank you!

I got the auction and it definitely was a big head - both in yellow.

I remember seeing that display back in '68 and how my eyes lit up when I realized that if I was lucky enough I could get a Dooley Womack baseball marble. Shivers run up my spine now just thinking about it.

Well, if the display from Huggins and Scott is to be believed, there are 24 series of 20 each. That should mean there are 480 different. I don't have the checklist, so I wonder if that many were actually produced.

The checklist I have (SCD Vintage BB Cards 3rd edition) says "while the packaging says "Collect all 24 Series" only 120 marbles were actually issued" It also does not mention anything about Big or Small heads or any other variation - so I wonder also how many there actually are?

check the viewing angle
Firstly - based on my experience, I believe the set to be complete at 120 - 6 packages with 20 marbles per package. Regarding the "big head" - take a real careful look from different angles (through different parts of the clear marble) understanding that the paper inside may be situated in a different place in each one - if I recall correctly certain parts of the marble have a magnifying type effect. For sure the pictures you posted are very different angles.

Series 1
Series 1 just sold on ebay for over $1600! I think these unopened packs are becoming more desireable.
