I've been out of the marble game for 30 years (Update Pg. 3: Got a set!)

I got some youngin's running around the house these days and I wanted to get them some marbles. I loved them as a kid, but with ipads and and marble shooting apps I'm wondering if the real thing will even impress them.
Any way, I get on ebay looking for marbles and apparently 2 things are still happening.
1. Cat eyes still suck
2. I suspect most "bulk" buys by the pound will be 85% cat eyes even though there isn't a single one in the picture
Am I jaded from past shitty ebay deals, or do I have a pretty good read on the situation?
For reference, cat eye marbles...
That dope shite, Son...
FWIW, I'm willing to admit I'm way more into this than them, but when I get some I bet the kids come around.

It's always fun when the vacuum cleaner used to run over the marbles that get lost in the shag carpet.

I remember having chrystals and some about 1" diameter called chugs. Also had the steelies. Used to play "holsies" on the side yard. Good times!

Tops were the shite!...There was nothing more satisfying than a perfect throw that splits someones top in half.

Feels like the marble fad passed through my part of Louisiana in '81 or '82.

Marbles were big for one year when I was a kid. I remember "puries," which we pronounced "perries."
Marbles, yo-yo-s, pencil fights three fads I remember.

When I was a kid, I swallowed one... My mother had to check my shite to make sure it cleared....
