Anyone from us here got lucky today? 😄 I asked on Saturday, if shipping to Austria was possible, and the seller said yes. But in the end, he did not change his listing and I was not able to bid on them. Well they were a bit out of my budget anyway. One can dream, at least … and I tried 🫣🥹😃

Could anyone enlighten me about clay balls? I only now clay as the material for plates and dishes. What kind of clay is used for billiard balls? And might a set like these still be playable, or do they get brittle over time? Last question obviously only out of curiosity, because nobody with a...

Found a better set for a decent price, and updated the Aramith Premier set I bought 2 weeks ago. Here is the full Baseball set now And here compared to the other set, which is way less shiny and has some dents and bruises. I will either sell it or use it as a daily training set…

There are a few sets with that box on ebay right now, but all have different balls in them… 🤔

Got a set of 54mm balls yesterday! Finally I got a size inbetween 51mm and 57mm 😊 They are not super rare, but strangely hard to get here in my area. And did not want to pay a lot of shipping, hence I did not order them abroad so far…

I really like the green colour there! Have to check my Crystalite set, if the green is the same. I think mine are darker 🤔

Those numberless Pro Ex look rather nice! Never seen them before, I think…

To be fair, I am more a visual guy than a completist. So having matching ball designs and matching green boxes for my baseball set is way more important to me, then having a correct box (which might be blue or white then) 😄 So far I have 3 Boccette sets. One from Elefant, the new Raschig one...

Another set I received, are these Raschig Boccette balls. I found one dent sadly, but otherwise they look quite good. Need to clean them still. Could anybody help me with more informations or maybe even a valuation of them? I searched a bit, but not much infos on Boccette balls to be...

I received some Aramith Premium today. They have a few bigger dents and scratches sadly, which I did not see in the pictures. But I got them quite cheap to be fair. I wanted this set, to make a complete Baseball set. As I will not play them very much, I think I am ok with their quailty. They...

I just could not resist such a lovely colourful box 😄

Received some Palko carom balls today. Nice box, but the balls look like cheap Polyresin from China. I only found them in Australian webshops. Are they from there? Got them from France, and if so, they have quite a journey behind them 😄

Forgot to mention it, they are 57mm balls. I guess they are just normal balls, not from any specific game. That's why my first guess was a "build your own set" thing.

Besides my pool hobby, I have an extensive library of SF books as well. My collection exceeds way over 4500 books by now. And I collect wargaming miniatures and board games. I might just admit to myself by now, that I have an addictive personality who likes to collect stuff 😂

There are some games which require a player to just pot balls in any order without any numbers needed. Games like 14.1 endless could be played with a set like these as well. So maybe they were just made with games like these in mind?!
