    They seem to be a Chinese market set, judging by the Chinese language written on the package security sticker. It's the red and white one with diagonal black lines and Chinese characters in the second picture with only the closed box. If it's a Chinese market set, they could be anything. It's...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Haha, since I can't figure out that "thread album viewer" function, I've once again resorted to going back through the thread page by page. But, that's also fun in ita own right. Anyway, nowadays whenever I search for 2.25" snooker balls, the only set I can find by Aramith is a Premier one...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    By the way, is there no function on this forum/thread to "view thread's photo album"? Which is, to simply click on 1 button and I can view every picture that's been shared in this thread, and there is also a link from the picture to the comment it was made in. I have used this forum software on...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I have been hunting far and wide for these for almost 2 years now. I didn't know they were famous or anything until just recently, and even then I still don't know when they were made or how many were made. I got them from a pool equipment dealer in mainland China near Hong Kong. He's just one...

    Check these out, just got them. They are a Special Edition of Aramith Tournaments made casino style, but also numbered and with a special 8-ball for the Chinese domestic Heyball/Chinese 8-ball leagues. I don't know how many were made or when, but I do know they're hard to find and not cheap. A...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    They're a unique design, definitely would be nice to have at a home table. And they're made by a good manufacturer, which is great news. In the beginning my ball buying journey last year, I didn't originally know about the ball quality topic very well besides not wanting "garbage bin" balls...

    Same here, no reply to any of my attempts.

    Another question to add to the list: Does anyone own these WPA Unity Heyball balls? I just found them and it looks like they were only released about 6 months ago? But now they're also sold out/unavailable?

    Did you ever get a reply from him? For sure the price is a good price, but I guess if you're only open to selling in person in Albuquerque, NM, that might be just a reasonable price, or even too high of one since it's been up for 6 months and it's still there... Anyway, here's to keeping my...

    Haha, the longer I stare at this picture, the more I think I see things, or maybe I don't... What're the chances you could line them all up beside each other respectively, 1-15+cue ball? There seem to be design differences and colour differences and I'd love to have a clearer look at the same...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Here is an open request for help, haha: Here's a Craigslist ad that I found for a set "excellent condition" Raschig 14.1. But, the ad is for "cash only, local pickup only" in Albuquerque... I have tried texting the guy, emailing him, and messaging him on Craigslist...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Haha, I think I saw they were only made for a year or maybe less? And it was in the early 2000s? The good news for me is that the current Aramith Tournaments are close to the design of the IPTs. That's the info from my side, it was only a little Googling, I couldn't call it research...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I did a little searching and it looks like these are almost the same colourway as Aramith Tournaments. Maybe? But the more I look at these, the more it looks like they are glossier than the Aramith Tournament balls? And also maybe the background of the numbers looks a little like mother-of-pearl?

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Can anyone tell me, besides the cue ball, it there anything particular about the IPT set's colour scheme? I like it and I'm wondering where else I could find a set like it? The purple and the orange both seems like really nice, deep colours. And the gloss on them seems like it might be similar...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I have a question about the Poker Pool set and the Romanique III set from the Billiards Museum: What pool balls are the most similar to in regards to materials? Vigma? Where the colours meet, they look ultra crisp and not like the hazzy way that phenolic resin balls tend to look. I've wondered...
