This is an ultra rare collab marble which Yoshi created using a cab from Josh. Yoshi has very seldom made marbles using American artist cabs, and besides this one, I have one in my collection featuring a Sable cab also, and then that's about it. There may be one or two more, but I'm not sure about that. Most American collabs with Yoshi are made by the American artist, and there were a few made where Yoshi and the artist were together in his studio. But ones made by Yoshi where he simply used another cab - very rare. This gem features one of Josh's retti flowers in the very center, with Yoshi dotstack flames around the outside, and another dotstack pattern on the bottom of the marble. The end result is an exceedingly beautiful marble!! This one was made back in 2011 before the collab craze started. In fact, Josh and Yoshi could be credited with starting the collab phase of marbles - not that they were the first (Sable and Kobuki might have that distinction) but they were the first that started to get people REALLY excited about collaboration marbles. And, as they say, the rest is history! Grab a special piece of that history here! Signed 'Josh Sable 11 YK'.
