It was you, Mr. K, in a post or a PM that said your collection is meant to be played. I have adapted that same strategy. I enjoy having some historical sets. I like my Burt Clay and my old Brunswick. I'm also going to keep my eye out for a couple more such as the Zig Zag and the Direct but...

Just got a set of Bicentennials yesterday. I found them on eBay for $299. Claimed to be new but when they arrived I had my doubts. After a quick polish, though, they may be new. They look very good other than a very slight nick on the 12 ball. I like 'em.

Thanks Bob. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.

Thanks for the fun set of rules for Football. I have my additional sets to make two teams of 11 in the mail to me now. Would all of you lend me your expertise on the set below. I bought an antique, restored, Brunswick pool ball wall display. I paid an extra $150 for "antique clay" balls to...

Thanks K and RC. I have added the Manufacturer and updated my spreadsheet with K2s suggested headings. I'm a real professional collector now. Photos of my last two additions.

Manufacturer? For documentation purposes does anyone know the manufacturer of these Glow-in-the-dark and the 3D number sets?

I seem to remember RC or Mr K commenting on how after 15 sets collected you have to start writing stuff down. I just obtained my 16th set....the 3D number set that I only found because I saw them on this thread. I guess I now have to get a notepad and a sharp pencil.

Got my set of Hyperions last week. I think they are fantastic. My 90 year old Dad was in town visiting so he got the very first break on this set.

Football Pool I wonder how this photo showed up on my Facebook feed? A few hours of searching NFL sets perhaps?

I picked up this first set and was a little disappointed in that the solids are so white you mistake them for the cue ball. I wonder if the second set with the more colorful solids might be a bit more fun playing them with the lights out. Have you tried both sets?

Nfl The man that knows it all....thanks. I can't find the guy with every team but there are half sets on Ebay that with suit my needs.

Nfl Has anyone every tried to order half a set of NFL team balls? I have my home team Denver Broncos set but it would be fun to play against other teams. To do that I would need to order each complete set of another team. I think it would be cool to be able to order just 7 balls from another...

Crown Standard I have it in my head that the set we played with was Aramith. When did Aramith start copying that same Brunswick style with the numbers outside of the stripe?

Amarith Crown Standard Although my parents made a modest living when I was growing up, my Dad bought us an 8" table when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. I think he bought it at Sears and I may be wrong but I think the playing surface was felt covered plywood. We put it in the unfinished basement...

I like it I really like your rendition of the Stars and Stripes.

Eight Ball Delux Thanks for all the tips and tricks on restoration. I will give that a try. I do not collect pinball machines but this one has been beside by pool table in the basement for 25 years. This set of Stars and Stripes was a recent gift from a friend.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am working on my ability to take quality photos but here is a couple. The Burt Double Stripe photo is from the seller. Others are my attempt. Burt Double Stripe Clay. Hyatt Romanique II Romanique II Eleven Ball close up normal side Romanique II Eleven...

New Member Not sure what happened exactly but my friend obtained a set of Amarith Tournament balls in December and something clicked. I have enjoyed the four sets I have at home but never thought about collecting until I saw those Tournaments. Now apparently I'm obsessed. I started searching...
