I haven’t seen that ball before either, Mr M.

I feel we are due a classic Romanique or Raschig appearing on eBay. It’s been a while. Keep your eyes peeled.

The same company was responsible for the counterfeit Louis Vuitton and Tiffany sets, both of which were offered for sale on eBay for outrageous sums… €10k in the case of the fake LVs. They are still being sold in the $500 to $600 range… and still falsely advertised as genuine. Thankfully, I was...

I have an accumulator bet every year on the first round… never won but did get 15 from 16 once. Just wins, of course, not correct scores!

Just for fun here are my guesses for the first round .. Zhao Xintong 10-3 Liam Highfield Ding Junhui 8-10 David Gilbert Xiao Guodong 10-7 Zhou Yuelong Shaun Murphy 10-5 Fan Zhengyi John Higgins 10-7 Ali Carter Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-5 He Guoqiang Chris Wakelin 10-4 Liam Pullen Neil...

Presumably the stick was originally perfectly cylindrical, Mr L? I guess it must have distorted under the extreme heat and pressure involved during casting.

I think I recall Robin Hull from Finland playing at the Crucible but could be mistaken. And maybe Alex Ursenbacher?

I don’t have too many single balls in my collection. I might have forgotten one or two, but off the top of my head the rarest I have are probably the blue Camel, broken wheel Jack Daniels, the yellow Miller Lite, the original McDermotts or a prototype Cardball from Aramith.

Someone could build a great pool ball collection purely on drink-related stuff.

The Jim Beam cueball and 8 ball are great collectibles, Mr T. The originals are thirty-something years old and probably worth about $30 to $40 in nice condition.

Hello, Tschmidt. Always great to see a new name on the thread, sir. Welcome!

Excellent, HKC. Bravo!

Is that from the Vigma Presidents set, sir?

Now you’re just showing off, Mr L. 😀

POOL BALL PHOTOGRAPHY. Alas, the spirit is willing but I’m rather poor when it comes to capturing decent photographs of my pool ball collection. My pal, K2Kraze, has the knack of staging and lighting everything beautifully, as evidenced by his Raschig Ring images shown here. How about you...

It’s shocking how mean the odds you were offered, sir. Right now over here in England those same players are… Xintong at 2.5 to 1 O Sullivan at 8.6 to 1 Yize at 21 to 1 Guodong at 89 to 1

I, too, have backed Wu Yize. Just £20 at odds of 19 to 1. Unfortunately he has rather a tough draw and has since drifted to 21 to 1 over here in England.

A set of Hai Ying Playboy balls has just been listed on eBay at $75 or best offer. They look to be in good condition. Quite tough to find these days. https://www.ebay.com/itm/306866866914?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Forgive me if most already know this, but Dekorit is / was a type of plastic.
