It wasn’t the greatest shot in the world, or even the most profitable, but after playing pool for over forty years one particular shot has stuck in my mind above all others… The match-winning ball (the 8) was hanging over the jaws of a corner pocket. Alas, the path to this black was blocked by...

Good morning, everyone. I’m in regular contact with a group of about one hundred pool ball collectors and between us we are only aware of six complete sets of Romanique I balls, just two of which are still in their original box. I was wondering if any folks browsing the forum also own a set...

Good morning, gentlemen. During a snooker world championship match today it was mentioned in commentary that should the cueball simultaneously strike a red and a colour it is deemed a foul. The fact that anything very close might sometimes be difficult for the referee to judge accurately...

The Billiard Ball Museum is proud to offer for sale its first set of pool balls… Poker Pool. For the past eight years it has been a pleasure to chat with like-minded folks from around the world who share our passion for pool ball collecting. It is only fitting therefore that you, our friends...

Good evening, everyone. I hereby challenge you to post an original photograph of a pool ball in an unusual and interesting location. I’ll start the ball rolling with this one… I snuck under the rope at a car show and placed a 15 ball on the hood of a vintage Aston Martin.

Hello, everyone. I also posted this on the ball collecting thread, but just opening it up to the wider forum to benefit from the wisdom of crowds. A little help from the forum historians would be much appreciated, please. In what year did Aramith release their 4th generation Duramith...

It looks absolutely dreadful to my eye. Way too low and pockets I’d expect to see on a child’s toy table. I guess I’m a little out of touch with Italian tastes...

Testing a picture that refuses to load. Hopefully this might solve the problem.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. :) I would dearly love to add to my treasured pool ball collection. Any information at all that might help in the acquisition of the sets pictured below would be deeply appreciated indeed. I can be contacted directly through this forum's private messaging...

Hello, everyone. I would like to trace details of an old pool ball supplier called CARD BALL INTERNATIONAL LTD. I know for certain that they were trading at least as late as 1989 and perhaps beyond. I strongly suspect that the company was Canadian, but reasonably sure their products were also...

Good morning, everyone. In an endeavour to record its historical provenance for future generations (and aid a failing memory) I’ve been busy designing descriptive insert cards for my treasured pool ball collection. They’re A5 in size and will be placed inside each box within a clear plastic...

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Very early on in the Pool Ball Collecting thread (on the main forum) I posted up a plea for help in securing a much sought after box of Joe Camel marbleized pool balls. After searching for this rare and desirable set myself for many years I had almost given...

Hello. This is a test to see how long the line of text reaches before it automatically defaults down on to the next line. I'm hoping to achieve something that roughly matches the width of my twelve photographs in the boxes below.

Good afternoon, everyone. :) What are your favourite pool player nicknames? Here are three from my own personal acquaintances in England. Jimmy Fingers. He only has eight fingers, four on his left and four on his right. Worm. He actually does resemble a worm. Very tall, very thin and very...
