I don't know, but I think it may be a Topps issued marble?

I really don't know.

Didn't fleer issue marble(s) in a wax pack back in the day?

These are known as Chem Toys and were issued in 1970 and were sold individually in candy & toy stores. I would imagine this one would be worth $3-5

they are "bouncy" rubber balls, not marbles

Might have been Fleer, I'm thinking it was a known player in the industry at the time, just don't remember the details.

Well there you have it, didn't know about bouncy balls.
