The 4stripe marbles always have 2 of the same colour opposite each other and 2 different colour opposite each other.

The final games were very interesting. Man it was the best showcase of Rolley Hole I’ve seen since I’ve been in it, but I’ll focus only on the last two games since it’s 2am and I just got home. This year we actually had a game for who came in 3rd and 4th place. Since 3rd and 4th have the same purse, the folks usually don’t bother staying and actually playing it. That game was Jack Tinsley and Kenzie Adams VS a team of Chris Graves and a fellow I’m forgetting. Because it’s not a serious game it was filled with a lot of good banter, jokes, etc which you see in a casual game. Pretty good funny stuff that folks don’t see much. The final game was something wild. It was Saylor and Powell Walden vs Robert and Dylan (I think) Emberton. Man it was an intense game. I had a group around me hanging onto every word I said as I went play by play. Amazing shots were exchanged as every player was for outs. What happened was Saylor made an amazing shot, but his marble bounced off the opponents and landed right in the hole. The crowd gasped and Saylor hung his head. That left Powell by himself and Robert and Dylan in span. When Powell missed his shot, the Embertons quickly spanned in. That was one hardcore game. I forget who was next to who. I think I know the man you’re talking about. He got into flint knapping which here is a slippery slope into marble making. This year I didn’t get any flints, but got well over 100lbs of fine rocks. Enough for a ton of marbles if they’re any good.

That little clip of color on one side it's exhibiting looks Heaton ??

Looks like a messed up Navarre IMO

This Seike's ribbon/patch marble was found by a local beachcomber a few days ago. The photo is by mimitutu424 on Instagram. A Mercari listing that sold out within minutes earlier today. Who was the lucky person? One of my SNS followers kindly let me know about it but I was too late to grab it. The seller ニコ is the same person who previously shared Rupert the Chick Picture Puzzle information that held Seike transitionals.

And x2 agree with Akroorka

Agree with fire 🔥

Nice 👍🏼 x2

I think I see a hand-gathered 9 and tail.

🎠 001 – Cotton Candy Carousel Swirls of soft pink and dreamlike blue tumble together like spun sugar at a twilight carnival. “Cotton Candy Carousel” is a delicate storm of sweetness and nostalgia a fierce racer whose calm exterior masks a competitive core. Each twist of glass captures motion in stillness, echoing the elegant spin of a carousel horse. As the first-ever marble in the H.M.R.A., it leads the charge with grace and style. 🍑 002 – Georgia Peach This tangy fireball blends ripe peach orange with glowing blush pink, kissed with flashes of golden yellow like the last rays of a southern sunset. “Georgia Peach” is a bold sprinter juicy and ready to blaze down the track. With a sense of ripe abundance and attitude, this is the second marble to ever enter the Handmade Marble Racing Association a sunlit streak of pure Southern heat. 🐝 003 – Bumble Gum With soft pinks, sweet yellows, and buzzing blacks, “Bumble Gum” is an energetic swirl of sugar and sting. It brings together bubblegum colors and garden tones playful yet powerful. The swirling contrasts in its glass show how joy and tension live side by side. The third racer in the H.M.R.A., “Bumble Gum” dances across the track like a trickster bee with a sugar rush.

Let us know who won. We stayed until there were maybe 3 games left in the bracket. We picked up a handful of flints from a couple makers which we're excited about. Got to talking with one maker (already forgot his name...solo guy next to the Marble Gem guy) that explained a lot about his journey in making over the last 20 years. Described how the moon fractures form [impact to backward cone] which is fascinating. Wish we had gotten there a lot sooner to see more of the other games' in action like TN Square and British and GA Rolley Hole. All in all, very pleased. Disappointed I didn't pick up a sweatshirt to commemorate. Next year, haha.
