Pool Ball Collecting.

Can someone educate me on Meucci Pool Balls? What the difference between the Millennium Set and the Professional Tournament Player's Set?
 
My first shelfie!

Got a delivery today from IKEA. All the stuff around needs to be finished, but I wanted to put up the shelf first and fill it up. So just imagine not seeing the carpet and all the things around.

That’s my treasure so far! Nothing too special maybe, but all I need for my games and now I can find sets easier 😊

Not much space left, so I will be more picky in the future with my additions. Or try to replace cheaper Chinese sets with good quality Aramith (or other brands).

IKEA storage for the win! Simple, practical, and inexpensive.
Love all the sets of carrom balls.
 
I wanted enough balls to play Blackball or Cutthroat with them, hence the huge amount. And I managed to get a few boxes for 7,- only in used but flawless condition. So I had to grab them. They tend to be quite cheap if one can wait for a deal, and none of them I paid more then 20,- for

I bought the Billy shelf, because this is my library and it should match the room furniture. I am a collector of SF books as well 😄

The black board is my Keno board in progress. Did not have time to finish it so far. I am currently in the process of drilling the holes 🙃

Good start, I had a space too, then found another space, and more spaces. 🙄

I too am rethinking my collection and not letting it go too wild. I'm trying to focus on more quality and less quantity these days. Trading out lesser sets for better ones is some of the fun, especially when you find a great deal on a better set.

I am finally adding the bocetta balls. Picked up these new sets, One for a friend. The other two for me to keep. one unused for the collection and one to play with.
So I am ready for some of the rules and games to play with them if you don't mind sharing Mulambo. I grew up playing bocce, The game you play outside on the ground. I would imagine it's pretty much the same as that.

Yes, nearly the same.

I need to get more serious with my efforts of putting my rules website online. I will have to check for a domain and a server provider 🙃

I have Italian ancestry so during family picnics we always played bocce growing up. I'll be giving them a try tonight.

I'm looking forward to your website. I've used a site called namecheap for a domain and it only cost a few bucks a year to keep it.

I might be able to do it on our company server, so I only have to register a domain. I have a name, but it is quite long, so I am not sure if it is a good idea. But all the good short ones are taken, and I want it to be descriptive as well.

So my idea so far was:
Billiard Games Library

Not sure if this might be too long for people to remember, but I think it is an easy name 🙃🫣
