akroorka Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I had just turned 13 years old; with hormones running wild and I remember watching the “Ice bowl” with my dad and older brother on a little B&W TV in our “upstairs” bedroom because our main TV took a dive. (Thanks dad, RIP, for getting what you could) We had to constantly move the little “Rabbit ears:”to get a good picture (really bad weather throughout the state that day) ---Tears running down my eyes as the Pack went ahead for good. I may be a “Cork head” but I was a “Cheese Head” long before the name was coined. Show your teams colors/marbles—It is time for some Football!! This is serious stuff in Wisconsin as last night’s game was half Packer fans. You cannot imagine until you visit Green bay. How could I pass on this marble? Memories—On!!! And Marble—on for sure!!! Go Pack!!! And Go Badgers!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 My best friend every morning! Lovable losers for some time now, but staying loyal! Raised in Jacksonville and pretty much moved up north when the Jaguars were "born", but they have been my team since day one. Roaring down the River!

I'll have to dig around for some mibs that match the "Teal and Black Attack", 2 blackish cat's eyes will suffice for now....didn't want to resort to "game" marbles 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 OSU, Oregon State Beavers, guess I didn't have to change that much color wise !! If the Cougars are "Roaring down the river" the Beavs are "Chewing down the river" Maybe better if we were both makin "Cheddar" Found a future prediction for the team logo from back in the day, looks like they weren't too far off !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I always pull for the Beavers when they play OSU?--Gotta love a Beaver with Fangs. I may have missed out on something. Having looked at your marble numerous times I just noticed that it may have a transparent base. What is the story on this one? Marble--On!!!

Opaque orange base swirl patter "Peltier NLR Tiger" with very fine silver av. in the black ribbons., shows up much better in the sunlight. But no, very opaque, no light will pass through, the orange base glass swirls as well as the black ribbons. I traded Sami Pelt for Pelt at the Seattle Show in 2017, I got a few others as did he, my avatar can be found on page 72, lower right hand corner of the new Pelt book by Sami Arim, Mike Johnson & Gino Biffany "Peltier Marbles an American Legend" "Two Color National Line Rainbos" Even shows the same view except it's turned on it's side in the book.

akroorka Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks Chad, I had always thought that it was a "Miller Tiger" which would be a rare one for sure. The AV sends it over the top. I will look up your images in "The Pelt Book".----Great marble and thanks again. I never met Sami (I think😁) but I did get to talk with Gino a few times. The King of Peltheads RIP---great guy that he was, his excitement over marbles was intoxicating. Marble---On!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'm not much of a football fan (sorry!) but when I watch a game I can yell and scream as loud as anyone, and I'm usually going to be cheering for the underdog. But since I moved to NY . . . here are my team colors! I suppose the Bills are still considered the underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleized Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yay! One day I need to go to a game. But, I’m not sure if I should do any cheering. Went to a college volleyball game and got laryngitis which seemed to turn into a cold. My vocal cords are getting too old for that stuff. Also, Buffalo gets pretty cold during the season. LOL! Thanks for the good news! I need to follow them more.😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 My very first Autographed Jaguar's card, their 1st pick in their first year, Tony Boselli. Nowhere near my "best" card, and not part of a "high end", but one of my prized possessions. I had forgotten about it over the years, and my mother had it stashed away with some photos and other stuff of mine. I recieved this stuff back in 2017, shortly after she passed, from Florida. When I saw it, I couldn't believe it. Originally thought I had lost it in my move to Minnesota. Thanks, Mom, for saving it. And yes, she didn't care for football until the Jaguar's arrived. Never thought I would see the day she got into football! Memories!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 In the Thanksgiving spirit, I wanted to give a shout out to the NFL, which I am watching while getting ready to partake in good family and good food today...a couple of players that I have seen preform on Turkey day 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
