The term 'mib' comes from the old marble-playing days and is an acronym from the words 'Marble In Battle'. Over time the word mib simply came to refer to any kind of marble, and these days we even use it sometimes to refer to art glass marbles. This mini marble (mib) features marble player Fred, who is part of a larger full marble playing scene Zach created, based on an old marble advertisement. He's got his mibs with him, and then there are several mib milli around the marble as well. Signed with sig chip 'Z Jorgenson 2007'.
