How about making an offer for just the box, Carl? The seller might consider it given the balls are not a match. And an empty box might be quite reasonable to ship perhaps?

Great spot, sir! I hope Carl manages to acquire it.

I’d like to find a nice Hyatt Bicentennial box. My set was a salesman’s sample and came in a rather beautiful Hyatt attaché case… but I would still like an original cardboard version.

No, he did not, sir. It was simply an astonishing coincidence. Either that or proof positive pool ball collecting operates in a very small world.

Furthermore… I am of the strong opinion that this ball was not just any old Romanique XIII, but rather THE Romanique XIII ball. For me, these sets are simply too elusive for it not to be the actual missing ball. I am delighted to report that I did, of course, acquaint the two gentlemen with...

I absolutely love your Imperial Baseballs, Mr X. A wonderful contribution to the thread, sir!

Here are the beautiful Brunswick Imperial baseball add-ons.

And especially so if a few bottles deep! Difficult to find any of the balls then. 🙂
